Re: Why can't I prove the earth is round?
The thing is...

It's actually quite easy to prove the earth is spherical, and it doesn't require complicated equipment or advanced mathematics. About 3,000 year ago people made the same, simple observations and concluded the earth was round. We've understood this to be a fact ever since, and anybody who wants to can check for themselves.

The problem now is that the people who believe in a flat earth are unwilling to examine the evidence, and even more unwilling to try to make the same observations - because they know it would contradict their belief. And belief is all they have...

(There's also the problem that probably 99% of those claiming to believe in a flat earth are actually trolls, just trying to wind up everyone else.)
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72153121


I see you say that it's actually quite easy to prove, but then do not go on to suggest an experiment or an "easy way to prove" it.


The person in here saying he can see the curvature from 70ft up in his apartment building, yeah, he's fucking lying too. I've been in the cockpit of a 757 at cruising altitude (36,000 ft), you want to know the curvature I saw?

Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71674607


Nope I'm not lying, why don't you try it for youself?
 Quoting: Sir France's Beercan


Are you dumb and blind? Did you not just read that I've been in the cabin of a airliner at 36,000 feet, unable to see the curvature?

I've been to the top of more mountains than you have apartment buildings. lol A curvature has yet to be seen.

Strangely this was deleted from the forum...

Ok, when I first heard of the flat earth theory, I never dreamed anyone could be so dumb to question the shape of the earth. Then I kept seeing it pop up. Many world leaders, including Obama, have recently mentioned the flat earth. I've looked at numerous photos of the earth from space and see may discrepancies in the size and shape of the continents. I've never found a real picture of a satellite in orbit when there are supposedly thousands of them. I can't understand how engineers have never accounted for the curve of the earth in building bridges and sky scrapers. It seems the more I look into this and try to prove the earth is round the harder it gets for me to do so.

Can anyone here provide solid evidence that the earth is a globe because I would love to see it.

I'm not questioning if the sun moon planets are moving. My questions begin when trying to find a clear image or video of the earth from space that isn't CGI or taken with a fish eye lense.
 Quoting: Childzies


The picture, which has come from a camera on board the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR), is the first picture of the whole Earth that has been seen since 1972. All of the pictures since then have been produced by stitching together different pictures into a full image of the globe.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72178926


You can't see stars because the object in the centre of the image is much brighter than them, so they're hidden by the glare.

And the Earth may not be a perfect sphere, but it's close enough to be indistinguishable with the naked eye.

Re: Why can't I prove the earth is round?
Day 1 God made the night & day
Day 2 God made the firmament (dome over earth)

Everything after this is under the firmament

Day 3 God separated dry land from the seas
Day 4 God made the sun, moon and stars
Day 5 God made plants and trees
Day 6 God made living creatures and man

If we take this literally then I don't see where the dry land is formed into a ball and set spinning at 1000 mph.

How does earth revolve around the sun if sun is under the firmament (dome) over the earth. And also wasn't created till the 4th day.

Throughout the bible are numerous descriptions of earth being flat and motionless.

All other religions describe the earth the same way.

Do we throw out all of these descriptions because they don't fit the narrative?

Good post OP, I started out like you, trying to prove the earth is a ball, but like you and many others have found out, in 2016 we still do not have proof of a ball earth.

I received the same response when I had a question about gravity. I didn't say that it didn't exist, I was looking for a clarification. People get so angry but it ties in with the flat earth theory. How can gravity be strong enough to hold the oceans in place yet allow a butterfly to flutter about? I am not an idiot for asking this question! I don't know if the earth is round or not. My question is how gravity fit's into either position. Op, ask your questions and continue your search for knowledge. Others may know all of the answers to your questions.

Thanks, I get it. the greater the surface area the more air resistance to a drop. But I can't get over one thing. Gravity has the ability to HOLD billions of gallons of ocean in place but differences in mass can have an effect on this incredible force. Do you see why I'm struggling with it?

In the flat earth model the sun and moon spins above the disc.

Ok, when I first heard of the flat earth theory, I never dreamed anyone could be so dumb to question the shape of the earth. Then I kept seeing it pop up. Many world leaders, including Obama, have recently mentioned the flat earth. I've looked at numerous photos of the earth from space and see may discrepancies in the size and shape of the continents. I've never found a real picture of a satellite in orbit when there are supposedly thousands of them. I can't understand how engineers have never accounted for the curve of the earth in building bridges and sky scrapers. It seems the more I look into this and try to prove the earth is round the harder it gets for me to do so.

Can anyone here provide solid evidence that the earth is a globe because I would love to see it.

I received the same response when I had a question about gravity. I didn't say that it didn't exist, I was looking for a clarification. People get so angry but it ties in with the flat earth theory. How can gravity be strong enough to hold the oceans in place yet allow a butterfly to flutter about? I am not an idiot for asking this question! I don't know if the earth is round or not. My question is how gravity fit's into either position. Op, ask your questions and continue your search for knowledge. Others may know all of the answers to your questions. Keep asking and keep wondering.

its called density, everything has a different mass.

if you stood on top of sears tower disregarding air resistance and dropped a 10 lb bowling ball and 10 lb of feathers which would hit the ground first?

Thanks, I get it. the greater the surface area the more air resistance to a drop. But I can't get over one thing. Gravity has the ability to HOLD billions of gallons of ocean in place but differences in mass can have an effect on this incredible force. Do you see why I'm struggling with it?

You're a braindead flathead, yes we get it.

Yes, I do see why you're struggling with it. You're a fucking idiot.

I wish that I could be so sure about everything in this world. I wish I could call everybody a fucking idiot. I may know all of the answers but I know that I wouldn't want to be like you.
