I have a friend who very strongly believes in flat Earth and he's a recent convert, only about 2 years ago or so. But very very strongly. I'm already a young Earth creationist, very strong believer in God and Jesus Christ. I'm very open to the idea of flat earth, it's no skin off my back, I believe in an infinitely powerful God, the Earth could be shaped like a diamond or anything else He wants, not an issue for me. I'm trying to have as open of a mind as possible. He says gravity doesn't exist. That's totally possible. But if that's the case, then what is the flat Earth model explanation for why we don't just float over Earth, and what's the explanation for how the Cavendish experiment works? He sent me an article about how horribly inconsistent and imprecise our attempts to measure gravity have been, but what's the explanation for how the Cavendish experiment works if there is no gravity? Is the general assumption that these experiments are all faked? The videos I've seen appear to be legitimate videos. Maybe they're faked, I'm open to that as well. I definitely don't believe anyone landed the moon in the '60s, and I tend towards skepticism of whatever the mainstream narrative is. And I'll also admit that it's entirely possible I'm thinking in terms of how I've been programmed to think and that is obscuring me to what may be an objective reality, that gravity doesn't exist at all. That is a possibility. But deprogramming can be extremely difficult. I've been a lover of science all my life, believing it relates to the passage in Proverbs where it says it is the glory of God to conceal a matter, and it is Glory of Kings to search it out. Every time I learn new things about science it just gives me more reason to praise God in His infinite wisdom for creating such a beautiful and complex universe to share with us. But I'm just having a hard time wrapping my head around the explanation for how we don't float if there isn't gravity. What's the alternative explanation for that? Let's say someone goes to the edge of the flat Earth and jumps off, what happens? Is it that the Earth is in a constant state of acceleration in a particular direction, which gives us an illusion of gravity? I'm really struggling to understand. If anyone has videos in particular that can explain this, that's the best way for me. And the more detailed the better, as I'm still trying to wrap my head around these concepts.
Thank you.
