Ok, I'd like to hear from the FE'ers on this one. (Inspired by a loonar eclipse post)

Anyway, you say the earth is flat and is round, Like a coin.

Now, Does this circular shape happen naturaly.. or was it created. OR is their a force working on it, Causing it become circular (You could lump that with natural I guess..)

Now, If I was to drop molting lead into cold water, It becomes perfectly spherical. As far as I know, no-one can fully explain this, but that is irrelevent.

Now, Assuming the earth is hurtling upward, In a vacuum.. Wouldn't the same effect happen to the earth? 'Causing it to naturally mold itself into a sphere?

god made the earth and it was round, and it was good. but allah came and was like LOL YOUR EARTH BLOWS! and they had a fight, and on the 7th day they were like LOL STUPID PPL LETS MAKE IT FLAT LOL!
he kinds of equations that they have now are the kinds of equations you would get in an approximation scheme to some underlying theory, but nobody knows what the underlying theory is.

Almost Spherical, Its a complete myth that they are tear drop shaped. RainDrops are TearDrop shaped only for a breif time just after it drops from its source.

What does the shape of a raindrop have to do with anything?  Or is rain part of the conspiracy?

I would NOT like to see your proof of that, buddy.

Actually, they arent entirely round.  More like ovals or something.

Thats why I said "Almost Spherical" .. They are not TearDrop shaped.

Then again, These people don't beleive scientist.

I like how nobody actually answered the question, just let the thread go off topic into a discussion of Jackasses's Balls.

This board has the worst moderators I've ever seen.
e gladly feast upon those who would subdue us.

It's not about the moderators, Thats how they deal with things they don't like, They ignore it. Theres endless amounts of questions on this board that they don't have an answer for, So they just skip round it and start talking about Ice Walls and magical teleporting forces.

Well they are the ones that believe the world is FLAT.

No wonder they suck at moderating.
