Is the Earth flat?

[FlatEarth]

this should end all this shit. if the earth is flat and not spinning the sun would destroy that part of the earth. i have seen this in several science shows over the years. and they all said if the earth stopped spinning it would be death and destruction. if i did not know what a dummy bouncey is i would swear he is trolling.

Of course! You watched it on "science" shows and what they have said is obviously the absolute truth, right? Leave this debate to those who actually have the ability to open their minds and do their own research on the topic. You, my friend, are far too gone to even entertain jumping down this rabbit hole. No offense, old man.

In case I'm wrong about you, and you ever decide to open your mind and actually look into this, let me know. I'll send you a book that will make your mind explode. :explode

Not if it wasn't designed that way. The entire idea is based on a creator making earth and if the creator can do all that why would he fuck up and let the sun blaze the earth. This argument is completely irrelevant.

Why doesn't the North Pole and arctic circle burn away during the summer when the sun doesn't ever drop below the horizon?

The earth probably isn't flat but it obviously isn't the perfect sphere they show in literally every single picture of the earth from space.

There are only a few "pictures" (CGI Bullshit) that exist of earth, yet they claim there are thousands of satellites out there? Yeah, okay, NASA... :facepalm All these images we get of "planets" are CGI. The "hubble" and Sofia take photos in infrared. Then the 50 million dollars a month in tax payer dollars help produce these digital CGI images from these fuzzy ass infrared photos to keep the masses blind to the truth.

We've never been to "space." Ever.

No one taught me the moon wasn't transparent.


Transparent moon: GO

:biglol

Most retarded thread. Ever.

1. Thanks for a YouTube link... AGAIN.
The attachment will go nice with #1

2. I want to hear you explain to me how I and billions have seen a lunar eclipse with the MOON blocking the sun that looks EXACTLY like this

My turn to be 20

[Muck FcDisney]

ZOMG!! Is the earth... ROUND?!? :shocker

Also, red is actually blue and vice versa. Do the research! If you can't prove otherwise, you MUST accept the proofs!

[FlatEarth]

Close-minded

Neither of you have looked into it. You simply laugh it off like I did when I was asked about it. However, I'm smart enough to know that I need to be able to prove something to be untrue before I write it off as false. After months of looking into this trying to debunk the flat earth, I simply proved the opposite.

The Earth is Flat

The globe earth is actually laughable at this point and it's hilarious that in 2017 we still think the earth is spinning and wobbling through space :ROFL2

:wave2

[JdPat04]

You're rich! Go book a ticket into space and prove us wrong

[Citronauts_Knights]

Human eye, sure. But we can see billions of lightyears into space, we should be able to see across an ocean, even with the atmosphere.

Can you cite the specific claim amidst the cut/paste spam regarding seeing things we shouldn't be able to? I'd guess that the earth is flatter in some places than others.

Let's suppose you stood a penny up on a sidewalk and started walking away from it. How far would you have to walk before you wouldn't see it anymore?

Now consider the distance between let's say NYC and London. That's 3,470 miles away. Even something as large as Mt Everest is only able to be seen from about 200 miles away. So, imagine how big something would have to be to be able to be seen from 17 times that distance. (not to mention that beyond 200 miles, you wouldn't really be able to see anything anyway, because air isn't fully transparent: there is water vapor and other particulates there to distort light.)

[Citronauts_Knights]

No.

Debunk mine.

The moon is "transparent" yet we can't see the fucking SUN through it during a Solar eclipse...

That one wouldn't really be hard to explain away. They believe that the moon creates its own light, rather than reflecting light from the sun. And supposedly, there are experiments that show that an object left in moonlight is colder than an object shaded from moonlight. But I digress... The effect of a solar eclipse could be explained if the sun and the moon are both translucent and the light from both has a cancelling effect (like adding +1 and -1 and getting 0). That would result in the black circle seen during a solar eclipse.

A single candle can been seen from 30 miles. A 10 million candlepower spotlight can be bought for $200. :thought

Actually, only about 1.7 miles, according to researchers at Texas A&M:

So there we have it—the farthest distance a human eye can detect a candle flame is 2.76 kilometers.

So we only have 3745 times more candle power than we need? Great!

If?

But they aren't. You can't see through the moon.

Also why would light from the moon make something colder than being in the shade?

Also if anyone could even make me think about this, it would be you instead of Copy, Paste, Ignore Repeat

Except for the part of my quote that's in parenthesis. Seeing long distances works in space because it's a vacuum and there's nothing to distort light. On earth, there's water vapor and other particulates in the air to distort light, so we can't really see beyond 200 miles.

[JdPat04]

Also yes the earth is going to flatter in parts and more round in others. We have been pelted by asteroids and shit.

Shit gets fucked up.

How do you know that? Consider that the same people that tell you that the Earth is a sphere (although they've since changed their minds to say it's pear-shaped, although if we've been to space, why don't we know the exact shape of the Earth, since we'd have actually seen it?) also tell you:
- refugees are good
- Christmas bad
- Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone
- the Holocaust was real
- Hillary didn't commit crimes with her email server
- Hitler was a bad guy
- jet fuel caused a building to collapse when jet fuel doesn't come close to melting steel
- there were WMDs in Iraq
etc...

So, maybe don't necessarily believe everything they tell you.
I wouldn't call myself a flat earther, but there are some questions that it raises that I haven't seen answers to.

[Carr2Cooper]

Wait are you trying to say that the Holocaust didn't happen and Hitler was a good guy?
