Earth Question

[citfta]

Still no answers to my questions.  Only personal attacks against those that don't believe your fantasy.

These have got to be some of the most ridiculous arguments I have ever seen.  But my question I posed a few pages back was never answered.  What possible benefit is it to believe the earth is flat?


How do you flat earthers explain the changing seasons?  Just in your own words.  I am not going to waste my time watching some 2 hour video where the special effects can make anything seem possible.


And how do you explain that in the summer time if you are north of the arctic circle you can actually watch the sun go completely around you in a circle in 24 hours?  And don't tell me that is not true because I have been there and seen it.


And how do you explain that in the winter time the sun never appears at all if you are above the arctic circle?

To ALL, this is a Earth Question topic, together for what is true about Flat or Globe!?

Because of image's like below:

Flat Earthers only do this to cause trouble and raise the angers. If they were ever to take a jet flight other than commercial, then the obvious would be. Take the live picture of the famous Red Bull Jump. 85K feet and you could seriously see the curves of the Earth there. No questions at all. Any military pilot will confirm. Just butt heads having fun causing troubles.

You said there is no experiment to explain curved water which always seeks level. You are mistaken.

In fact there is and all water in outer space forms spheres and never flattens out. Look at all the pictures of free floating water in the space station or rockets which always form spheres in space. As well all the planets we can see are also spherical because most were molten or semi fluid at one point.

You do understand Earth is floating in space don't you?. Or is space a hoax as well, lol.

No that is not what I wrote, nor is it what was written, meant or implied.
You have parsed words that were written to another specifically addressing belief in the globe model and the lack of scientifically proven thus "objective evidence" of any curved water surface to be found ON EARTH covering 7/10ths its surface.

For your convenience I include relevant excerpts that I can find that may have been misunderstood by you.
If you feel I have missed any please be sure to include them in your reply so they might be reviewed as well.

I see nothing in what I wrote implying anything to do with hoaxes, "outer space" or the ISS - nor any direct relation of those to what actually makes all the water ON EARTH level, and when still measurably flat. 

You really don't need to show/prove your own ignorance any further, it is a self evident truth though I wish it wasn't so. Still sincerely looking forward to seeing it change when you realize your beliefs cannot irrefutably prove earth is a globe. (I tried, I still don't know, I have many serious unanswered questions and I admit it.)

Do some research yourself about your theoretical model and all the assumptions you need to rely on to support it to explain the "curved water" needed but can't be found as it is proven fact it always seeks level and no experiment ever done shows differently OR any curvature all.

AND

Is it your intention to leave me with your tacit admission that you are unable to justify the support your own model of a 1 rpm 1040 mph spinning ball/globe earth BELIEF SYSTEM which requires 7/10ths of earths surface to somehow be covered in water curved and stuck to that ball which to date has never been scientifically proven to exist anywhere, and thus has no real measurable basis in observable reality?

You have made lots of assertions, accusations and opinions on many topics.
I find you disturbed and insulting to me, so I typically avoid replying to your posts.
If you want to fight join the military. If you want debate join a debate club/site. You won't find me there.   

You can believe whatever you please, if you want me to look what you deem to be supporting evidence of your belief(s) I will look at all available relevant objective evidence, when/if  posted/submitted for review.

Onepower, I ask; Have you personally ever been higher (AGL/MSL) than the service ceiling of a jet powered aircraft?

Hello Carrol,

I'll point out that it seems you have not addressed this post to anyone specifically - but it feels like you expect my response.

You and I have only once perhaps twice that I recall ever had any contact and if I recall correctly that concerned your kind words about others attacking me, and picture sizing advice you offered, to which I most likely thanked you for.
Please do correct me if you feel I am wrong on any of the above.

Through the years I have read things you've written that made me think there might be things you and myself had/have in common that would be of benefit to us both, perhaps even to others. This post today makes me wonder, but also warranted a reply.

I ask is this the question(s) in question?

Good questions Conrad.  What I can't understand is what possible benefit is there for anyone to claim the earth is round if it really was flat?  And vice versa.  What do the flat earth people hope to do by claiming the earth is flat against all observable facts?  None of it makes any sense.


The silly discussion about the perimeter of the Antarctic versus the perimeter of the earth just really blows my mind.  Anyone with the least amount of understanding about geometry can easily see how an object can have a greater perimeter than the object it is inside of.  Just draw a star inside a circle and see which one has the longer perimeter.
