Is the Earth flat?

Postby Wolfmanne » Mon Feb 09, 2015 3:05 pm

Is the Earth flat?

I think so. There is some merit to be made by the argument that the Earth is flat. Firstly, why is everything we walk on flat? I haven't fallen off the face of the Earth. Secondly, waterfalls are where people fall of the edge and they exist. And thirdly, why does everything in space look like it was made in a film? There was a part in the Moon landing where Neil Armstrong ate some cheese off the Moon and no one questioned that. Obviously a film set. I know mainstream scientists will try and disprove me, but I am confident I am right.

Also, please take a look at this entry in an academic journal that proves the Earth is flat. Even elements of mainstream science agrees with me - http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/tiki ... %20horizon

Educating people on the truth is just as important as banning drinking and making abortion punishable by death, preferably by being thrown off the edge of the world!

EDIT: Also, people forget that Charle Darwin's agenda was to ensure the destruction of Christianity and traditional family values by promoting his monkey evolution theory, which, as all flat earthers know, is a pile of hogwash.

EDIT II: Please ignore. The Earth is a triangular prism it seems.

The Earth is certainly flat, in fact statistics show that over 250 scientists in recent times (past 300 years) support the flat earth proposition.

It's common sense really, if we had a round Earth one could fall off the edge. Where as the flat earth theory is quite solid, as are the ice walls that surround our flat earth.

I can lend some credence to this argument. Why is it that whenever you watch a ship go out to sea, it disappears at the edge of the horizon?

Because they all sink, of course! Sad, isn't it?

A man with common sense. Although I prefer Britain First's science, especially on Muslims, who have been pork-infested lies about science for 65 million years.

No, it is shaped like a diamond. I will ignore the photographic evidence to the contrary of that claim and say the earth is shaped like a diamond!

I've personally spoken with someone who is somewhat of an expert in this field (an astronaut), and he can confirm that the Earth is in fact a sphere.

Charles Darwin did not support the destruction of Christ. In fact, he was against it completely! No one ever mentions that he hated himself for his theory and had an extreme fear of people to the point of blood-filled vomit. He was raised in a Baptist church and wanted to be a priest.

Utter drivel. By the very same argument the sails of the ship should merge with the hull. Yet what you actually see is the hull going out of sight while the sails (or superstructure for a modern ship) are still visible.

If you were still in any doubt about that, look at the ship through a pair of damn binoculars.

That does not seem to be the intent.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.
