The Earth is Flat?

[TexRex]

1. A magnetic field wouldn't stop you from floating away

We have iron in our blood, man.

Funny but not as funny as me burning my soup I forgot was on the stove because I am trying to respond to everyone. Well there goes my vegetable soup.

Maybe you need to get your priorities straight.

If what you and that person are saying is/was true, the machine you just sent that message on, wouldn't work.

Oof.

 

[TheGeologist]

Have you never seen giant bones?

There is this thing called fake photos

Here is a photo of Mike Trout. Mike Trout is an American baseball player for the Los Angeles Angels of Major League Baseball.

Here is a photoshopped image of Mike Trout in a Boston Red Sox jersey. Mike Trout has never played for the Boston Red Sox and this image does not prove that he suddenly has. This image is fake.

Just like what ever you're citing.

We have iron in our blood, man.

That explains why I get stuck to my fridge when I walk by it. It all makes sense now!

 

[TexRex]

I mean come on they tell the public we haven't been back to the moon because we lost the technology and it would be to hard to recreate it.

saying it expensive makes sense. But to say the technology was lost to me that is a flat out lie.

Yeeeeeaaaahhh...I'm going to need you to tell me when "they" provided that as a reason for not going back.

 

[quentin1974]

"Or I could believe NASA but they make no sense."

Translation: "I am not smart enough to understand science, therefore it is wrong"

just so you know all scientists do not agree with NASA. Does this mean they are not scientists. Long ago a doctor, I forget his name thought we should wash our hands after dealing with dead people. His peers called him crazy and he was put in a nut house. Now today it is common practice to wash your hands in the medical profession so this guy wasn't crazy at all.

Yeeeeeaaaahhh...I'm going to need you to tell me when "they" provided that as a reason for not going back.

the guy who is like the face for nasa. I think his name is Bill Nye.

I think you buy into these conspiracy theories to make you feel smarter than everyone else, when in reality you're just not.

You say you believe in this, yet you can't even reproduce the data you believe in. And then when someone with a background in geology asks you questions, you can't even answer them. How can you believe thousands of scientists are wrong without proof?

And just to be clear, I'm looking for an actual source. If you can supposedly know this has occurred, there should be no reason I cannot.

 

[TenEightyOne]

Okay, let's see some bones of giants. I can't be the only one who's up for that?

Don't forget that you also need a source for NASA saying they lost their space technology somewhere along the way.

I just told you not all scientist believe nasa. I forget the 2 scientist back in the day who did experiments to prove the earth was a globe but there results proved the opposite. I don't feel smarter than anyone. todays smart person is tomorrows dummy. change is constant.

 

[TheGeologist]

Very true. They could be fake.

Just one problem. I can prove to you the Earth is round with data. We don't need to see it to know that it is round.

One of the ways we know the Earth must be round is through plate tectonics. It cannot work on a flat Earth. Where is the core and the mantle on a flat Earth? Where are the convection cycles? What is the mechanism?

Which leads me back to the same question I've asked you 100 times. How do flat earthers explain how the continents move? Tell me and I'll tell you why you're wrong and how we actually know what we know.

 

[Vegard]

truthfully I believe in nothing. I either know or don,t know. I save believing for religious people.

I do accept a magnetic field.

I could not explain how it works. I believe

 

[quentin1974]

it is Bill Nye and I forget the interview but if you look around you will find it. I couldn't give you the link as I don't have it but his interview is out there.

how do you what the inside of the earth is? The farthest ever drilled in the earth is I think 7.5 miles. correct me if I am wrong. so if we have only drilled 7 miles in how do we know what the inside is?

 

[TheGeologist]

Look, Bill Nye said its round!

 

[wfooshee]

"I can't cite anything, I just remember seeing it once, but you can find it if you look. "

That's not how it works. If you want to put out a position, you have to produce the information that supports your claim. Otherwise, you're just a blowhard.

As for the inside of the earth, sound waves penetrate THOUSANDS of miles. We can model the interior of the globe through sonar-like reading of sound energy. Every time there's an earthquake we get stuff to measure.

 

[user3392345]

Damn facts everywhere. Facts dont help us here to understand why the earth is flat.
What type of earth would be better to life on?

That's a great question and I'm glad you finally asked a question that is worth responding to

1. Look up Hawaii. They're having some crazy volcanic eruptions right now. If the entire Earth is a solid, where is the magma coming from?

2. We know there is a mantle and core from geophysics. Earthquakes (proof the plates are moving) let off two detectable waves. S and P waves. Long story short is that P waves change speed and direction when they hit liquids and different densities. We can use this info to determine the composition of the inner Earth.

Here is an article on it (I'm at the gym so I don't have all the time in the world to type, but if you have any questions i will answer them shortly)

Thin Crust. While Deep-dish is good, the last thing you want (with global warming) is for the crust to go all soggy, it becomes like a sponge. Nobody wan'ts a sponge pizza Earth

sorry I don't have the link to the interview but it was Bill Nye.

 

[TB]

Look, Bill Nye said its round!

Photoshopped.

@quentin1974 - There's been a lot of "facts" that you're tossing around but absolutely no credible sources to back any of it up. The burden of proof is on you to provide said information, not on us.

I, for one, would LOVE to be proven wrong that the Earth is flat. Key word being PROVEN, mind you. I shan't be holding my breath.

 

[TexRex]

correct me if I am wrong.

That's all anyone here has been doing.

 

[user3392345]

My personal hero harald lesch know how thinks work!

 

[Sage Ages]

Very convincing.

 

[Famine]

the guy who is like the face for nasa. I think his name is Bill Nye.

Bill Nye is a television presenter in the field of popular science. However he is not the "face for nasa" (or "NASA", as it's an acronym that requires capital letters), nor is he an employee of NASA.

He has presented some videos in the field of popular science for NASA, as NASA has hired him to do that since he is a television presenter in the field of popular science.


Still waiting on those killer NASA and CIA flat-Earth documents. They're not the ones in the video, FYI.

 

[kikie]

I used to believe the earth was a globe because that was taught to me. but now I am an adult and after listening to eric dubay, and seeing with my on eyes documents from nasa,cia,army,airforce,russian scientists and many more I am completely convinced the world is a flat circle. if everyone used the freedom of information act and seen the documents I have seen then the truth would be more known. science proves the earth is flat. I am glad I am in the minority now. I used to think flat earthers was crazy just like most but when you find truth all that changes. now I went from believing in aliens and space and planets and solar systems to not believing that at all because of flat earth truth. truth will set you free. And the truth is always stranger than fiction. I think Nikola tesla said it best. the earth is not a planet. there is no gravity just a magnetic field. And this place earth is a realm. The Sun and Moon are not physical objects in the sky. they are just lights. I could go on and on. I am just gad to be awake.

Thanks for quoting me but I wasn't serious. It was sarcasme and I was trying to be funny.

I have to say that you have balls to admit that you are a flat earther. This deserves some respect.



You are wrong when you say that it is the truth that the earth is flat. Maybe it is your truth but not ours (globe earth believers). It is not the truth but a believe.

In another post of yours, you say that you don't believe because your are not religious but there is a huge difference between believing in something and practicing a religion and thus believing in a God. As long as you don't practice this believe, you believe without being religious.
I believe that a Porsche 911 is the best sports car. If I start to practice this believe (shrine, Porsche church etc ... ) and start to believe that Porsche is a devine car, I'm practicing a religion >>> Porschisme.

It is my believe that the earth is a globe, a planet and not a flat disc. I believe that everything we have learned in school is what is, i.e. univers, planets, star systems, our solar system and so on.

I don't think it takes balls. I have never been scared to state my beliefs(or to me what I know). 2 years ago I was in the globe group. I started to research just to see what all the fuss was about. I came across information and now I have changed my stance. Everyone deserves resect unless they don't show it to others. that is just my personal opinion. I respect those who agree and disagree. just discussion on this topic is progress.

did you watch the entire video and view every document that was presented?

Is there a video with English subtitles?

I've got one question for you. Let's pretend you're right. The Earth is flat and it's a huge NASA/CIA conspiracy to have people believe its round...

Why would NASA spend millions of dollars to protect this secret? What do they gain on humanity with this lie? I don't see the point.

just saying is that when you see this guy you think of NASA. That is why I say he is like the face of NASA.

The globe manufacturing industry would be absolutely decimated. Think of all the job losses!

 

[Famine]

Capital D. The start of a sentence requires a capital letter.

I'll reiterate my post from earlier:

I literally asked you when all of the documents are shown, because the first 20 minutes has cherry-picked bits - not the whole thing - that the presenter seems to believe support his case (when they don't).

I want to see the documents, not someone's interpretation of them.

I don't want a two-hour presentation of why a man who thinks the Earth is flat because it's in the Bible (which it isn't) thinks documents that don't say anything of the sort prove him right. I want the documents that you said you have read:

In the first 20 minutes he shows three [non-concurrent] pages from documents with no corroborated source, and presents them as if they say things opposite to what they actually say. Unless he gets a bit of a run on, it seems unlikely that he will present, unedited, complete documentation from NASA and CIA papers on the topic.

Just saying is that when you see this guy you think of NASA. That is why I say he is like the face of NASA.

Capital J. The start of a sentence requires a capital letter.

Bill Nye is not NASA though, so nothing he says can be taken as if NASA has said it.

If the Earth isn't Chicago-style though, then how do you explain all the layers?
