Is the Earth Flat? - Some Evidence Presented

[Raphael]

Cool!

So one can see all the way to the "rim" of Earth from anywhere.

It would have made long distance navigation much easier before GPS.

only from very high up in the Ramtop mountains. Cori Celeste is said to be the best spot, but few have climbed it.

But that an eclipse of the moon arises from a shadow of the earth, is a statement in every respect, because unproved, unsatisfactory. The earth has been proved to be without orbital or axial motion; and, therefore, it could never come between the sun and the moon. The earth is also proved to be a plane, always underneath the sun and moon; and, therefore, to speak of its intercepting the light of the sun, and thus casting its own shadow on the moon, is to say that which is physically impossible.

Psst..hey moonbat...if the sun never falls below the plane of the flat Earth how can we have night? Or even sunsets?

You don't think these things through very well at all, do you.

those quotes are from a ridiculous flat earther book. find us those quotes at the original sources. i am betting they are made up. but even if not, atmospheric refraction can allow the sun and moon to be in the sky at the same time during a lunar eclipse.

but under NO circumstances can there be a lunar eclipse with a flat earth. your trying to distract from that fact is noted and dismissed.

Do you think John cares one whit about honesty?

[oxmixmudd]

You make the evidence for the flat earth very strong when you ignore refraction in your ruler science experiment. Apparently you eyes are trained to ignore, or see what's really going on through refracted light.

Oh the irony!!!

Earth is not flat. Disc world is flat.

How is that turtle alive? Is it solar powered? What keeps it from turning into a meat planet?

There is a very high magic field on the disc, and it exists on the edge of reality.

It's breathing in the air washing off the edges of the earth.

Conduction, convection, radiation, and posting in Civics.

Why would the horizon be circular? (1) Can you see all the way to the "edge" of Earth from anywhere? (2)

Show the maths.

(1) A flat horizon is equidistant over a flat surface such as the ocean on a flat earth. What is equidistant in all directions will form a circular pattern in front of the viewer.

(2) No, due to the laws of perspective, which causes a natural horizon to form in front of the viewer when looking at the earth's surface in relation to the air.

Still struggling to understand the 2 coin example in the Helio thread? Yes.

Sparko is still looking for the moon.

also if the sun acts like a spotlight and only illuminates a certain portion of the earth as in the illustration, the its light would not reach the moon and we would never see a lighted moon. if the sunlight did reach the moon, that would mean the sun would light up the entire northern hemisphere at once, at the minimum.[/QUOTE]
