What is the nature of the sun's movement in the sky, and how do you know this? Does it travel in a circle within the firmament, or sway like a pendulum from one end of the earth to the other? How are the different seasons accounted for on a flat earth? These questions are easily answered with globa...

Ken, I'm afraid your hypothetical demonstration is an apples and oranges comparison. I guess the point you want to make is that we are moving, but that movement is relatively slow in relation to the size of the globe. Because of those factors, you say we don't feel the movement, and water is not flu...

It's called real world observation. You opined that there's no way that water can cling to a flying spinning ball. I proposed an example of exactly that, which is easily observable, and you seem to discount it. What, then, are you looking for? How do you define a "science experiment?" Why...

Post a science experiment backing up your fantastical claim that water can cling to the outside of a flying, spinning ball. It is absurd. Get on a bicycle, into a car, on a skateboard, or whatthefuck ever. The earth rotates (as proven) 360 degrees in a 24 hour period which is equal to 15 degrees/hr...

As Smackie & Mikey have pointed out presenting fact-based arguments is an act of futility due to SB's refusal to accept facts. The problem is that the globe cult tells me things are facts when they are NOT facts. They make assumption after assumption after assumption... Test your globe, Diego. ...

Show me the proof you have that we are spinning. You gave me an answer, which I appreciate. Of course, these computations are based on assumptions you don't believe Right.

Simple geometry is what Eratosthenes used to closely approximate the earth's radius. Not that you'll accept this, but his methodology was brilliant. He did this by considering two cities along the same meridian and measuring both the distance between them and the difference in angles of the shadows...

Equatorial radius: 3,963.1906 miles Polar radius: 3,949.9028 mi The numbers are different because the earth is ellipsoidal rather than perfectly spherical, with a slight bulge at the equator and slightly flattened poles. Now, the only way for me to know this for sure is for me to personally take th...

Very scientific. What is the nature of the sun's movement in the sky, and how do you know this?

I do not have to provide dimensions for the flat earth, because I do not know that the earth is flat.
I certainly do not claim it is a fact.

It is my assumption that the earth is flat.

I am a globe denier.

I assume that earth is flat, stationary, and enclosed by a firmament. The sun, moon, and stars are IN the firmament. So, there is no such thing as space. Those assumptions run counter to accepted and proven science. That is what you think . Water clinging to the outside of a flying, spinning ball i...

You want “proof” of a global earth and yet when challenged to provide any evidence at all of a flat earth all you can come up with is, well this map sort of shows what I’m thinking. You claim the globe is a fact. I do not claim that the flat earth is a fact. I assume the earth is flat and stationar...

I have been to the space center a couple of times, Roux.

I don't see any proof for your globe in your post.

All science points to the fact that the earth is (approximately) spherical No, it doesn't. You have certainly not posted anything to prove that we live on your globe earth. Your camp gibbers about how "It's already settled fact," or some such thing. That is comical. If it was settled fact...

I haven’t read through this entire thread, but one question comes to mind, and maybe this has already been raised. If Antarctica forms a circle, or whatever shape, around the edge of the flat Earth, then how do you account for those who have crossed it, either on land or in the air? Or even circumn...

I will respond to the rest of your post when I have more time.

So Google is good for some things, but not for others. You can believe some of what's there (like the existence of the Gleason map), but not the amplifying information regarding the map. And the info quoted by Roux was not an attempt to "discredit" the map, but merely to point out that it...

Softball Bat

So you direct Roux to use a resource YOU selected, and then criticize what he finds there because it's a shitty resource. Alrighty then. I directed Roux to use Google so he could view the map that many in the flat earth camp think might be reasonably close to reality. I did not tell him to use Goog...

Most people who believe in a god recognize that the earth is in a general shape of a sphere, just like all of the other planets and moons. How do you know that "all of the other planets and moons" are spheres? And even if they are spheres, how does that prove that your globe is true? Goog...

The Fed will make an interest rate decision tomorrow afternoon that could *JOLT* the markets. Previously, the Fed had made noises about cutting rates a couple or more times this year.
