Yeah, I even if it started as something serious, it now seems to be a place where the kind of people who enjoy trying to find holes in an argument can just have fun trying.
please someone send those pilgrims tools and enough material to build a huge wall around their "flat earth"...and cut all wires too while at it!!:hide:
I just had a quick skim through the FAQ there, and some of them are quite funny.
Potential controversial issue for anyone who wants to take it up:
They say the Earth is thick enough to have a bed of molten lava, which helps explain volcanos, right? Presumably were such a thing to happen and the underside of the planet is made up of rock, it's entirely possible to have volcanos on that side as well.
But wouldn't the upward acceleration of their system mean that all molten rock would simply pour out of any existing open hole until there was nothing left in the middle?
The only two arguments would be that there's a new supply of molten rock from somewhere (which would be topside rock collapsing downward meaning eventually it'd all "hourglass" out the bottom, or that we'll eventually run out and the planet will be hollow.
If they say that then ask them to calculate the rough volume of the planet and calculate how quickly molten lava would flow out of it. I bet it wouldn't be 4.5 billion years' worth
Yes there's always the chance it's been a conspiracy, but it seems fairly unlikely. You can tell that the moon is round by looking at it, and that the part you see changes day to day. That means it has to be nearly spherical. I have no telescope but I understand the same goes for other planets we can see too.
It seems unlikely that it'd apply to all of those but not to our own.
But a pilot can (and I'm sure has) keep the exact same heading and go around the earth, finishing up where they started. They say that the pilot just goes around in circles, but by using the same heading, that's impossible
Also, a flat earth doesn't make sense when you consider the poles. By walking around the north pole (if it was a physical pole in the ground, for argument's sake), you can travel "around" the earth in a matter of seconds. Yet it takes several days to fly around the earth on the equator. Therefore, the earth is at least a hemisphere
I'm not going to bother posting there, as even if someone had hard evidence that the earth is indeed spherical, they'd just get something like "STFU! Forum charter FTW" as happens with anybody who tries to show them the error of their ways
I reached the conclusion that the FES was set up as a joke or con, and somehow snared some gullible souls who apparently now defend it to the death, unless every one of those believers was there at the beginning and is "in on it". Hell a lot of them could all be the same person for all I know, that wouldn't be so hard to implement if you had enough time on your hands.
Posting there seems completely useless. The key with these things is to just ignore them.
for example that we are actually 10 dimensional being entrapped since summerian times by an enchantenment by the demiurge that from 10d we can just percieve clearly 2 dimensions and hardly 3rd dimension(depth) and almost no perception of 4th, time
we lost our depth perception or 3rd dimension perception, simpsons parodied how hommer took a close by fly by a far away plane
if we recovered depth perception then we would have half perception of time and we could see the future and start achieving more dimensions perception
and the governement nor the demiurge want that, they want us dumb and sheep like in a 2 dimensional world, actually when a person goes away he just makes smaller
besides dimensions are not only linear they are rotatory angles as well, when you rotate you are moving on a brand new dimension
2 linear dimension plus 1 rotatory dimensions appears as 3d as comic books show
the government to the service of the demiurge want to spread the lie we are 3d while trully we are 10d imprisoned in 2d that appear like 3d
thats why the hide earth its flat, cause it would prove we are 2d and the conspiracy
Four elephants, and a turtle?
