Now, this is one of the many topics we have not covered on this blog and time has come for us to finally dip our feet in this murky water.
So I was reading comments on Ark’s site and I saw somethin’ about Gleason map being a masterpiece of unequaled cartography, by the site’s resident mad man, and I went agoogling. And while reading the comments, I learnt that we have all been duped, there is no gravity! It’s all density and buoyancy. Dense things fall past buoyant ones. It feels funny typing this.
And that’s not all. They lied to you about the sun being far far far away. It is not. It is in the range of 3000miles and the moon is somewhere within that range too. So forget about all you know about the sun being far, it ain’t and the evidence is here.
And finally, I will never look at sunrise and sunsets the same way.
Any flat earther passing by should enlighten me on whether they have visited the extremes of the earth and what their view is of the other planets. Do they exist? Are they also flat? Oh, one last thing, as the earth is flat, is it a disc in space or it is on terra firma that is supported by some columns or ground beams?
damn but there are stupid people in the world. I do wish we could ship them off.

I saw when demonstration debunking the round earth with a sponge of water and a picture of a lake. (Real science too) He quickly spins the sponge and the water flies out. Not even close to the supposed 1000mph that the earth spins. Proof! My first thought was he should spin the sponge at one revolution per day, then see what happens. But, I’m just a heretic. I still can’t figure out how the water stays in a lake while we’re spinning so fast.

According to the engineers handbook, the destructive force of an object is measured by the rim velocity rather than the angular velocity, this means although the globe is large, the rotation speed being so fast would not be stable according to the machinery’s handbook.

In posting your comment you’ve betrayed your belief in the scientific theories of electromagnetism and computation. Otherwise you would have trusted God to transport your thoughts to us telepathically.
And when Christians go to the hospital for medical care they grant assent to their belief in germ theory, cell theory, atomic theory and the theory of evolution. Otherwise they’d trust God to heal them via prayer alone.
