flat earth vs ""'science'""

Note: I don't think mandalorian is actually serious...

He never is. It's called "playing along".

Do you know who Newton was? He is the dude who got hit with an apple. Now tell me what do you think what happened with the apple? I suppose you would say that it detached from the dome and hit Newton in the head. I would like to hear what do you think about sattelites? If the earth is flat they most likely move forward and backward on the straight line?

I think there was more to newton than being struck by fruit. Nevertheless, the earth is travelling 'upwards' at around 9m/s. This is what you mistake for 'gravity'.

yes there is, it looks round!

Look out of your window before you make a proper fool of yourself. You will see a planar earth.

He's got a point. Same reason you don't see things evolve.

0. Let us presume that the Earth is round.
1. There can be only one 'top' of the Earth. (the highest place)

And I thought mandalorians were smart.
If (it is) the Earth is round, then there is no top of the Earth.
Just as The Universe has no "top".

That is the gist of my anti-roundness argument: If the Earth was round, we would all slide off!

Ah, but now we have this new-fangled invention called gravity.
It convieniently stops you from falling into the abyss.

Actually, gravity is what makes you fall if you ar not standing on top of something. Don't take my word for it. Climb up a tree and try standing on the bottom side of any given branch.

And the reason you fall? A few trillion bits of rock, metal and assortments decided to pull you that way. This is gravity. Try standing on the top side of a branch in Australia, the same thing happens.

Nobody is pulling you! You are just standing on the wrong side of the branch. And of course, the same would apply for "Australia" if a place like that existed (you would just have to check if the roots can hold the combined weight of you and the tree).

I have been, once! I think. Was it '94?

If the earth is travelling "upwards" 9 m/s we wouldn't notice it, because we cannot sense uniform movement. In that case earth would have to accelerate constantly 9 m/s and only then we cold sense upward movement as gravity.

Indeed. And if that happened, we would've already far exceeded the speed of light.

He ment to say that Earth is accelerating by the rate of 9 m/s2, of course.

Not if all the light sources accelerate by the same rate (since Earth is a closed system).

That wouldn't actually matter. You cannot go faster than the speed of light and when that happens our mass is infinite.


(or something like that)

Those are just silly superstitions invented by the kind of people who believe that Earth is round.

[Jehan]

on a serious note the Greeks had a pretty sweet proof for the round earth, also, what is gravity?

stand at the peak of mt everest and look...you can see the curvature.

god you're stupid...

It's kind of suprising how many people actually fall for these things...

Heavy, I wish you would stop quoting scripture to try and prove that the Bible states the world is flat. It does not. You are no different then the KKK who twist scripture to validate racism.

though i dont disagree with you, i am a little doubtful you personally have or are in any position to go stand on top of mt everest, thats kinda pretty serious buisness.

does that matter? someone else has and they said the earth is curved. i'm sure there are pictures somewhere to prove it...google it.

Job 38:13-14 "Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place; that it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?

Matthew 4:8 "The devil took him to a very high mountain and displayed before him all the kingdoms of the world in their magnificence..."

Deuteronomy 13:7 - 'from the [one] end of the earth even unto the [other] end of the earth'

There is NO PROOF that the earth is round, and anyone who asserts otherwise is a communist and very possibly unpatriotic.

this post brought to you by the lame passive-aggressive dept

What was the purpose of you posting this, heavycola? Were you trying to imply that most Christians believed in a flat earth and that we are anti-science? The Flat Earth Society is a cult not recognized by almost all Christian bodies.

The picture in your Avi could be used to prove that kid is doggie-styling that women in a public place and through her jeans (which probably isn't true). Pictures can be edited, you know.

Also, I hope you are not seriusly considering the fact that 'somebody else said so' to be a proof of anything.

Yup, the Church has allway been a patron of science. Remeber how they helped Galileo to publish his works? Or how they helped Bruno family after poor Giordano spontainously combusted?

Not only did the Church hep scientists they also helped others! Like when they broke into Jerusaleum they helped all the people inside lose weight(and heigh)!

And let us not forget the spiritual help that they offered to Native Americans (who were loveless people before missionaries came and helped them out by showing them what love and mercy are all about).

[mandalorian2298]

Of course, Illiad and I are talking about ancient history. Modern Church is has gone a long way to become more tolerant towards other people (it is, at present, being run by an ex-Nazi).
