About Jesus (Religion) saying the Earth is flat and Sir Isaac Newton (Science) agreeing?
you are wrong on both accounts
which is why the posts are trashed.
Allow me to defend my thread.Originally Posted by ishmaelblues
Jesus said: "That which supports the earth is that which supports the heaven. When a Word comes forth from the Greatness, it will come on what supports the heaven and the earth. For the earth does not move. Were it to move, it would fall. But it neither moves nor falls, in order that the First Word might not fail."

Sir Isaac Newton said: "A body at rest stays at rest, and a body in motion stays in motion, unless it is acted on by an external force."
-- A body (spherical earth) at rest cannot stay at rest according to RET.
-- A body at rest cannot stay at rest on a spinning axis and constantly falling around the sun is what Pinocchio science calls when orbiting. Never at rest.
The Laws of Motion make sense for a FE.
-- A body (flat earth) at rest stays at rest, unless it is acted on by an external force (GOD)
-- A body in motion (sun) stays in motion, unless it is acted on by an external force (GOD)
Earth is flat... Jesus said it... Newton echoed it... Scientifically speaking I agree... GOD does too...
Worse then trashed, they were completely deleted as though some great secret was being revealed that science itself could not defend. If they were moved to the trash I wouldn't have complained. Anyways the Governments of the World know the earth is flat, they hold the symbol on their UN flag.Originally Posted by Arcane_Mathematician
You, sir, have NO understanding of physics...Originally Posted by VinDino11
The UN flag is a downward view of the earth from space of the north pole, indicating the dominant nations participating in the UN, Europe, Asia and North America, extrapolating the southern hemisphere in a weird, elongated way. It is in NO way even CLOSE to an example of a "flat Earth" I call BS here. The Earth is a spherical object, and that can be proven. Travel around the Earth in ANY straight line and you will end up RIGHT where you started, every time. That can't happen on a Flat Earth. Sorry, please try again.Originally Posted by VinDino11
Held up by elephants on the back of a turtle right? Happy Hogsfather's day to you too!Originally Posted by VinDino11
And who says that because the world is in some sense "supported" that it is flat? As for the rest- that the Earth is stationary- well I guess Jesus was totally wrong on that point, assuming this is something he actually said. And there's really no evidence that it is something he ever said.Originally Posted by VinDino11
So what? Did Newton consider the Earth to be a flat body at rest? No, he considered the Earth to be a spherical body in motion.Originally Posted by VinDino11
Anyway you don't have to take my word or anyone else's here. I've given you a simple means to test whether the Earth is spherical for yourself. All it takes is a pair of binoculars and a trip to the coast, preferably near a harbour. Watch the ships leaving harbour until they disappear from view. If the world is flat, they will disappear from view into a point beyond which you cannot discern them. If the world is a sphere, they should appear to vanish gradually over the horizon from hull up to their tallest point, almost as if sinking into the sea. Ships coming towards you over the horizon will appear to do the reverse.
Before you quote Jesus or Newton again, go and try this. If your assumption is correct, you should see the first result. If not, the second.
Hail flatlander!

I call BS here. There was no space travel when the UN was founded in 1945.
You & I see the Horizon (curvature) at ground level and so does everyone grounded on the flat earth. According to scientists the Horizon would appear at a distance of 2.89 miles for an observers on the ground with eye-level at h = 5 ft 7. Flying in an airplane at 34,000 feet I should be able to capture that curvature with my camera lens. No-one has, no-one will.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizon
The small guy sees a Horizon.
The bigger guy should see the small guys Horizon and his own.
The biggest guy sees both of their Horizons and his too.
At 34,000 feet I can see for hundreds of miles, hundreds!!! At this height every 2.89 miles I should see a small Horizon, a small degree of the earths curve, I should be able see 50, 60, 70 of these Horizons, my camera should capture a pretty good bulge of the curved earth’s curvature but you don’t, because its Flat.

You don't have to be close to water for this experiment, it also works on dry land.Originally Posted by TheBiologista
You can prove that the earth is FLAT with a pair of binoculars, because the so-called "curvature" is not the Horizon. Look around your own neighborhood and when your field of vision has reached an object where the bottom is no longer in sight reach for the binoculars and it will quickly re-appear with binocular lens. Everyone should try it out, see if I’m lying.

This is how science calculates YOUR horizon.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...he_horizon.png
http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/ba...s-the-horizon/
The higher up you go, the further the curve (Horizon) of the earth gets, go higher, and it gets further, keep going higher and higher and it'll only get further and further. If the earth was truly round the higher up you are the more and more curvature you'd be able to see. Your camera would be able to capture that curvature on pictures like the pretty photos of NASA, lol, the space Shuttle would see the Horizon @ 2572 km away, on the moon (APOLLO) the Horizon of the earth could never fit in their camera.
No, the earth is FLAT, this is why the higher up you are the further you can see. You can see past what you were able to see on the ground (although with less details) including the Horizon because the Horizon isn't the curvature, its your field of vision, and with that said Greek science with their Greek math misled all of us worried that when people traveled on airplanes they would wonder “why didn’t we see the curvature of the earth?” And the shills of science would quickly appease these questions by Greeking you with these calculations keeping your heads spinning on their round earth theory.
EARTH IF FLAT - AND THAT CURVATURE IS YOUR FIELD OF VISION!!!

So this is a fake along with all the other photos that were ever taken of the earth? Why would people fake it?
All the round the world tours taken by many many people in history were forged? How do satellites stay in the sky if they don't orbit? Where does the sun go during night time? How can it be dark in one spot, but light in another spot on earth at the same time? Did you eat paint chips as a child?
Who said planes fly in a straight line?"In this very post an ill-informed soul thinks you can fly in a perfectly straight line and end up where you started; whereas those who have not fallen asleep in geometry class know that the further one proceeds along a perfectly straight line, the further one gets from the point of origin."

The Byzantine Empire run's 1000 kilometers across, but from where you can see the ISS to the ends of the earth (length-wise not width) runs more then ten thousand representing 90 degrees, 90 arcs, one/quarter of the earth's curvature.Originally Posted by KALSTER
Earth's alleged spherical circumference is 40,000 kilometers. Making every arch of the 360 degree sphere at every 111.11 kilometers.
You should see one degree, one arch for every 111.11 kilometers of those ten thousands kilometers.
You should see a 90 degree bulge of the 360 degree earth. The above would represent one/quarter of the "alleged" round earth.
40,000 ~ 360 = 111.11
10,000 ~ 111.11 = 90 bulges/ arcs/ degrees. SCIENCE has failed -- JESUS was right & GOD Rules!!!!
"ill-informed soul thinks you can fly in a perfectly straight line and end up where you started; whereas those who have not fallen asleep in geometry class know that the further one proceeds along a perfectly straight line, the further one gets from the point of origin."
An airplane flying would follow the same trajectory the ISS is positioned at "a striaght line" and therewith could never end up at the point of orgin.
Finally, NASA proves that earth is FLAT.
that's because nothing is EVER at rest, it's ALWAYS in motion.Originally Posted by VinDino11

On a flat earth map the longitude/latitude widens for Argentina, explaining perfectly "why!"
I did. They do. In terms of Spherical geometry, a form of non-Euclidean geometry, they most certainly do, and more specifically, the fly in a Great Circle type of straight line.Originally Posted by KALSTER
No, it doesn't, and no, Newton isn't wrong. This is all a thing of relativity, and if you want to discuss classical mechanics, go bother the physicists. They'll explain it better.Originally Posted by VinDino11
no, navigation is based on a globular earth. Otherwise, to get to Alaska(Anchorage) from California(LAX) the shortest distance is over the pacific, when planes ALWAYS follow the Rocky Mountains. How do you explain that? Why would they fly in a curve?Originally Posted by VinDino11

In the 1500's young explores set sail around the earth to prove that JESUS was right and the Greeks wrong, that the earth was indeed flat. Those sailors kept their compass pointing at the center of the Earth (magnetic) and traveled to the edge as far as possible that the ocean ice permitted, and all they saw was ice forming close to them as they traveled in a circle around the magnetic center of the flat Earth and documented that Ice on their maps. You will note something that is no longer printed. All the old maps have the South/North Ice Wall dispersed equally along the length of those maps. If the South Pole was truly Antarctica it would not have appeared so vast and wide, it would have been drawn like the rest of the continents.Originally Posted by Arcane_Mathematician

Right, though in this instance spherical geometry will probably confuse the issue even further for our poor flat earther (though, as far as I know, spherical geometry in this instance will deal with only two dimensions like that of a "flat-lander" on the surface of a sphere, no?).Originally Posted by Arcane_Mathematician
Very possible, but I don't care. That's the way it is. and to use Euclidean geometry to talk about a sphere is silly.Originally Posted by KALSTER
It is? A 3D Euclidean sphere is silly? (mind you, I know very little).and to use Euclidean geometry to talk about a sphere is silly.
Overly complex. sphere's require odd parameters in Euclidean space. in terms of Euclidean (x,y,z) coordinates, it's messy to define a sphere, where is in SphericalOriginally Posted by KALSTER
coordinates it's very easy. and on the Earth, the surface is only 2-d, making it only
instead of the messy (x,y,z)
Ok cool. I read this bit on the Wiki page:Originally Posted by Arcane_Mathematician
, which also made it clearer.In higher mathematics, a careful distinction is made between the surface of a sphere (referred to as a “sphere”), and the inside of a sphere (referred to as a “ball”). Thus, a sphere in three dimensions is considered to be a two-dimensional spherical surface embedded in three-dimensional Euclidean space, while a ball is a solid figure bounded by a sphere.

I notice that some of the Flat Earth society websites are a parody - a kind of joke, and that makes me wonder how serious any of these guys really are. Is this society really just a parody like commentary on religion much in the same way that "Gulliver's Travels" was a parody commentary on English society and humanity? Or are these people just into their own fantasy reality like so many of the Trekkies.
I would like to observe that this discussion does properly belong in the religion section because what we have here is an anti-science relgious group rather a topic for a serious scientific discussion. No what we have here is an observation of the religious nature of man and the extremes to which it can go, don't you think? I think it goes to show just how far people will go to reject science if they believe it is opposed to their religious views.
the picture of antarctica is taken from a satellite. And, the pictures you post support my argument.
This photo of earth and moon by the voyager space craft got quite a good shot of Antartica.

okay.

How are these?
Because the earth really is that much brighter than the moon. Both are taken at a what is equivalent to a low exposure so the light does not wash out the details.Originally Posted by VinDino11
Because these are two different photographs side by side taken at different times but when the distance to each of them were about the same so that you could get an idea of the relative sizes.Originally Posted by VinDino11
But of course this is all beside the point which is that we do have a photo of Antartica here. Can you spell "changing the subject"?
That this is two photos side by side does not make them fake. But there is in fact no reason to take any photos seriously because they are after all, not the real thing themselves. I already said that I had no expectation of convincing you of anything, for I have absolutely no doubt that you can come up with a reason for rejecting any evidence that is presented to you.Originally Posted by VinDino11

Ha,Ha,Ha, the earth isn't brighter then the Moon, but regardless, both are spheres, both at the same angle in relation to the Sun, both spheres would light-up equally even if you believe that one sphere has better reflective qualities it could only reflect the equal portion of the sphere that is lit.Originally Posted by mitchellmckain
Two different photographs mean they are PHOTO-SHOP and not real... Thanks for clearly that up... Now stick to reality and we can probably get somewhere better then this science fiction we're living by believing their lies.Originally Posted by mitchellmckain

On the off chance that a live video might help convince your deluded mind, STS-127 is currently on the launch pad right now. Launch in about 5 minutes. Dunno if they'll show shots from the shuttle itself but if it does you'll get to see the curve of the Earth.

What happens when you walk onwards on the "Ice Wall" ? Do you fall off the other side? If this is for real, then you have gone even further than the infamous "archaeologist" as far as sheer unbelievably preposterous nonsense goes. What is the source of your picture by the way?

The below diagram position of the earth in Vernal equinox (March) shows the sun would rise in the North-East and as the earth spins on her axis the sun would cross the sky diagonally (declining) to set South-West. On the September equinox (Autumn) although you only see the dark side of the earth the Tropic of Cancer is at the same angular incline on the day side, therewith, the sun would be rising in the South-East and crossing the sky diagonally (inclining) setting in the North-West.
How could the Vernal’s sun-path cross in an X-fashion with the Autumn’s sun-path? How?
Science has no concept of reality. If we were able to draw marking lines in the sky between the spring’s sun-path and the autumn’s sun-path this would create an (X) formation. Science has many holes (0) in their theories.
