coupe_no Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 i personally dont believe its a sphere or an oval nor do i believe that its flat like a disc. its definately an interesting topic that explains a lot of other things if you believe it. first the flat earth side: an article on a flat earth flat earth society forum very good arguements and examples here my theory in progress i personally think its a sort of upside down ice cream cone/ egg shape; here are some very crude 1am paint drawings- first the most common side: http://aycu30.webshots.com/image/46869/2001989089542278712_rs.jpg next from the top: http://aycu34.webshots.com/image/50033/2001914168326024866_rs.jpg african side: http://aycu32.webshots.com/image/48231/2001987387509738911_rs.jpg and bottom: http://aycu05.webshots.com/image/48404/2001942175354295679_rs.jpg since i believe every word of the Bible and take it literally i think that Israel, Jerusalem to be precise, is the 'center' or highest point also i think the earth sits on legs like a table and we are the table surface i guess, the purpose of the legs is to cause earthquakes and present the earth to God like a model or something, huge angels might be in control of each leg: http://aycu33.webshots.com/image/49712/2001247284611158646_rs.jpg 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coupe_no Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 also forgot to mention i believe in a geocentric universe earth possibly does not move at all and the sun and moon orbit around us like this: http://aycu30.webshots.com/image/49509/2000087286814423107_rs.jpg and perhaps the angels move the earth up and down to change the seasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Pat Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I read just enough of that dribble to realize that guy is a grade A douchebag. Have these people ever watched the weather channel, or heard of the internet where pictures of the earth are clearly spherical? I mean what's to argue? I'm going to make an internet forum dedicated to arguing that the color blue is really red because there's some crazy verse in the bible that I interpret as saying so. While most of what he was spewing could be considered bullshit, the earth isn't a sphere. Its round, but its not a sphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Pat Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 ...Round but not a sphere? Im confused... isnt a sphere a 3D round object? The earth's shape is a "sphereoid", basically a fucked up sphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coupe_no Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 ^well yeah almost nothing is a sphere but the problem with a globe is- scientists claim that gravity is whats holding the oceans upside down and the australians, but howcome if you spill water down a grade facing the north, it runs right down the grade ignoring gravity, when according to science, it should simply puddle because its being pulled straight down the water should puddle where the red X is http://aycu05.webshots.com/image/48764/2005378992100670906_rs.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Pat Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 The bottom of the slope is closer to the earth's core.. Are you really this stupid or just pretending to be? I had a whole explanation typed up, and then said "fuck it", and went back to the forum index. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So rivers that flow south are just freaks of nature? Of the top ten largest rivers in the world only the Nile flows from south to north.

coupe_no Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 sorry i was talking to Not Brian its kinda hard to do this on a globe shaped object: (pic not working see link) http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://bp1.blogger.com/_0lES9kQNiWE/Rd9fyjwCs4I/AAAAAAAAAGg/jgAL3wQ-YvQ/s400/river2.jpg&imgrefurl=http://nerdcountry.blogspot.com/2007/02/evolving-river.html&h=300&w=400&sz=37&hl=en&start=11&um=1&tbnid=KAUEOnxfVIwF7M:&tbnh=93&tbnw=124&prev=/images%3Fq%3D%2Bwater%2Bflowing%2Bagainst%2Bgravity%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coupe_no Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 ok so i use the scientific method of theoryization and i get shot down... i dont solidly believe in any of the above material because of lack of testable evidence, but i am experimenting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwishiwascool Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Over-simplication of complex issues based solely on personal qualitative linear observation is the reason that people think they are much smarter than they are. I saw nary a single mathematical proof in any of those articles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwishiwascool Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 TRIPLE POST! I read the whole thing. This philosophy is the result of a fundamental lack of understanding of the complexities of mass and gravitation... and the relation between the two. This is what schools would teach if universal gravitation and general relativity had never been quantified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Pat Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 You do realize, that we have been in space, have directly looked at the earth, and know for a fact that it is indeed round. There are also certain places on earth, like the Bonneville salt flats, where you can stand in one place and see the curvature of the earth.
