    The earth is flat and we never went to the moon--Part II

    For those of you who are Christians and who hold to this nonsensical idea that the Earth is flat, in spite of the several indisputable proofs that have been presented in this thread, I would like to ask you to consider just why you refuse to allow plain reason to persuade your mind. I'm not...

    The earth is flat and we never went to the moon--Part II

    Okay, so it turned out that I had a really nicely clear sky this morning. Not that it turned out to matter much because things aren't exactly flat where I'm located and so my horizon is slightly elevated above what it would be if I was looking out over several miles of water but, nevertheless, I...

    The earth is flat and we never went to the moon--Part II

    On Wednesday, March 20, 2019, at 5:58 p.m. ET we all have a chance to prove once and for all that the Earth is not only not flat but that it is, in fact, spherical in shape. That's right every single person on this thread along with ever single person who belongs to any Flat Earth Society...

    The earth is flat and we never went to the moon--Part II

    They'll go, they'll figure out that they were wrong and it won't convince ANYONE who didn't go with them. They'll either fade into obscurity and be forotten (ignored) by the flat earthers or they'll be turned into villians who were never really flat earthers to begin with but where really NASA...

    The earth is flat and we never went to the moon--Part II

    No, it's saying that whether it changes or not, the time it takes to travel one arc diameter remains the same. In effect, it implies that the Sun slows its apparaent speed with a reduction of it's apparent size. That's why I asked him what I did. The fact that the Sun's apparent size does remain...

    No, I don't think that's what he's arguing. See my previous post.

    The earth is flat and we never went to the moon--Part II

    Okay, so let me make sure I understand this argument. You're saying that, for a particular observer (i.e. location), the length of time that it takes the sun to move an apparent distance across the sky that is equal to it's apparent size is the same no matter where the sun is in the sky. That...

    I don't know about any of the flat earthers but you've piqued my interest. What's your argument?

    The earth is flat and we never went to the moon--Part II

    So just what is it that I've said in regards to the FET (Flat Earth Theory) that you think is an opinion? I mean, the whole argument is based on two observations of the angle of the Sun above the horizon and then some highschool level math, the results of which falsify the FET. What is there...

    Don't worry about it at all. I didn't even notice! :chuckle: By the way, if you're writing a quick note like that to someone where using the quote tag doesn't really make sense, if you put a hash tag in front of the user's name, they'll get a notification that someone mentioned them in a...

    The earth is flat and we never went to the moon--Part II

    What's not his cup of tea is not being treated "nicely". He's using it as an excuse to not have to deal with the fact that his pet conspiracy theory was blown apart inside of a day of him posting on this thread. He figured it would be a lot harder for people to knock him off the high horse that...

    The earth is flat and we never went to the moon--Part II

    Wrong! Tantamount to a lie, really. I've specifically asked you where the "hole" is in my math - NO ANSWER! Further, I've given several extremely thorough and completely rational argument - none of which are base on a single syllable of opinion and you, like EVERY OTHER FLAT EARTHER haven't...

    The earth is flat and we never went to the moon--Part II

    Flat earthers do not deny the existence of satellites, they deny the fact that they orbit the earth. They're balloons or some other sort of air craft. It's stupid, I know but that's what they say. As for having to discuss it, its because we have entered a post-truth era where any truth can be...

    The earth is flat and we never went to the moon--Part II

    Liar. Your posts are all still here for everyone to read, idiot. Every airplane along with everything else on Earth is being pulled by gravity toward the center of Earth's mass. Given the miniscule size of a plane relative to the Earth, that is going to be stright down. Any variation is going...

    The earth is flat and we never went to the moon--Part II

    #Bladerunner Your having brought this back up has got me to thinking again about triangles and I've thought of yet another proof that the Earth cannot possibly be flat based on three known data points. 1. The Sun was 10° off the horizon at Knight's house near Denver while at the same time...

    The earth is flat and we never went to the moon--Part II

    Forgive me if I'm not able to speak far enough down to your level. Easy enough to say, harder to demonstrate. So where's the hole, Einstein? Which data point did I get wrong? Go ahead, tell us! What's with all the mystery? We know that the Sun was 10° above the horizon at Knight's house and...

    The earth is flat and we never went to the moon--Part II

    :up: No, but it is stupid to accuse someone of being a hypocrite when they specifically explained why they said what they said. I don't actually care what color you use and using color for emphasis or to distinguish one thing from another is entirely a different thing than having your entire...

    The earth is flat and we never went to the moon--Part II

    Okay, first of all if you don't use the [ quote] tags, i'm not at all likely to know that you've responded to my post. I don't read every post in the thread. I know you're new so its no big deal. I'm just saying that you'll make people's lives easier if you use the [ quote] tags (without the...
