Flat Earth Internation Conference 2017!!!

Thanks for all of your 'responses'.

Couldn't have EXPOSED "You" without "You". Priceless :thumbsup:


regards

Yeah, pretty much par for the course:

- Present strawmen and unsubstantiated claims.

- Demand that opponents prove well-known science all over just for you and in a way you specify (and which mostly won'r work, of course).

- Ignore or flatly refuse all counterarguments. (Add some insults and condescending remarks).

- Repeat strawmen and unsubstantiated claims, now with bolded letters, etc. (Add insults and condescending remarks).

- Ignore or flatly refuse all counterarguments. (Add some insults and condescending remarks).

..... repeat several times till it becomes too obvious that you are contradicting yourself and making absolutely no headway.

- Stomp off declaring that you have won.

:rolleyes:

Well, thanks to all who patiently play the game, so we ensure that this nonsense is never left unopposed. It is tedious, but it has to be done.

Hans :thumbsup:
 
......- Stomp off declaring that you have won.......

Are you sure this is what has happened? The stomp off bit, I mean, not the declaring-you've-won bit, which he did multiple times in every post.

Well, one can hope .... ;)

But he will surely come back. They nearly always do.

By the way, you never did explain how on a flat Earth the stars circle above the South Pole place FEfailers refuse to call a South Pole, or go in a straight line, curving away North and South, above the equator thing FEfailers think is a circle on a disk.



Not only that but how would they explain how the stars are different in Australia compared with the Uk without hemispheres.

I don’t think Daniel’s for real. What I find almost as odd as a flat earther is someone who spends obviously quite a bit of time constructing this long garbled and arrogant posts just for fun? What do trolls like this get out of it? Don’t understand.

Please tell explain to us why EVERYONE, according to your Flat Earth model, experiences nighttime (no sun shining) when the sun finally sets (goes below the horizon) on your flat Earth?



Or maybe more importantly that everyone sees the sunset at different times, incrementally but in a specific direction (ie timezones)

Can you explain further? What makes a flat earth more likely a creation of god than a spherical earth? Thanks.

Oh, that's easy.

A spherical earth, with gravity and a non earth-centered universe complete with the big bang theory and all that entails, along with evolution and other scientific discoveries pretty much removes God from the equation entirely.

It's bad enough lightning rods diverted God's vengeance, a non-earth centered universe takes him out of the picture altogether.

The best way to put God back into the equation is with the earth being the center of the universe again, with the earth being special, and everything revolving around US. A flat earth does that nicely.

Of course, that flat earth model, along with the denial of evolution, also has the nice ancillary benefit of putting humans back at the top of all living creatures in the universe. That has a certain amount of appeal as well. I mean, we must be at the center, because everything in the universe revolves around US. It certainly appears to be so.

Right?

Which makes me wonder if the flat-earthers have an answer to this question:

If proving the earth was flat would validate certain religions, why haven't the religious governments of various countries refused to go along with the supposed global effort to suppress the truth and launched their own expeditions to the edge? I'm thinking of Iran and Saudi Arabia here specifically, but any country where a significant portion of the electorate would be delighted to have their fundamentalist views proven would do.

Like, say, America. Apparently 1 in 4 Americans believes the sun goes round the earth. That would be a guaranteed vote-winner.
 
Could someone work out what acceleration of 9.8 m/sec/sec for 6000 years would mean our current speed through space would be, according to this formula, and assuming a YEC take on the age of the planet.

I believe it's around 1.8 Trillion m/s, if someone hasn't answered already.

Thanks. That's rather rapid, and on its own that should be enough to put paid to the silly "there's no gravity........we're merely accelerating upwards" nonsense from the Flat Earth Society website.

The speed of light is roughly .3 Trillion m/s (299,792,458 m/s) so we're now moving at six times the speed of light, apparently.

And going faster all the time.

That is exactly what a Flat Earther posted on her own timeline in Facebook (yes, I snoop - in order to get a read on where they are coming from and whether they are just trolling for teh lulz). They don't like thinking they are merely a speck in God's creation.

What it is that's supposed to be accelerating us? And how does one consolidate this with the supposed unmoving Earth at the centre of the universe? For a start that would mean that the entire universe is being accelerated upwards at 9.8m/s2 which considering that just the part of it we can see has a mass of about 1.5 x 1053 kg we are talking about absolutely extraordinary amounts of energy being required to achieve this. Where is it all coming from?

Telling god how to do her thing sounds pretty heretical to me.

Not only that, but how do you define "up" in space?

Oh, and if we're travelling at 6 times the speed of light, how come we can see colours? And if we're not in a vacuum, as Daniel seemed to be saying (never sure what he is actually trying to say, with all the contradictions), I'd suggest that travelling at that sort of speed would have meant things should be getting a little warm around here.

What about "an all powerful God" don't you understand?

Also, Daniel indicated that he is not this flavor of flat earther. He believes the earth is stationary and flat. I really can't tell you what he thinks about gravity, other than his note that "science" can't even agree if gravity is Newtonian or Einsteinian.

Do you really have to ask? The answer is of course "God".
