Also, not being able to spell 'heliocentricism'... Bit of a fail there.

River --

1. Can you (on the globe or projection map that you do not believe in) provide a sailing path that would provide evidence of north/south circumnavigation?

2. I think you've possibly answered this one already, but: IIRC you said that the sun and moon stay in orbit around the north pole due to magnetism. Can you let me know why the sun and moon do not fall down into the (flat) earth? If so, can you relate that to why a ball I drop out of my hand does fall down into the flat earth?

3. Can you expand on how much / what parts of the theory of "the ether" you believe in? It seems like you actually do not believe in the ether at all, but I wanted clarification.

microbet,

Obviously that is untrustworthy, since it's from NASA, and that means it's CGI/a cartoon. No pictures of Earth could demonstrate that it's round, since it obviously isn't round. Finally, something something something perspective.

My bad. Well, one of these days maybe someone will get a rocket high enough to take a good look.

lol you can see the curvature of the earth when you fly in a ****ing plane and look out the window at 40000 feet, like im sure we ALL have unless you are some inbred midwest ****ing hick that never leaves your home state.

why are you all still feeding the troll.

Wateryboil,

You have came in here like 10 times asking everyone why they are engaging the troll and calling him a troll. That seems silly.

You'd think he'd lay low since a watched pot never boils.

As for the eclipses with both sun and moon visible:

Ever hear of the land of the midnight sun? If you were far enough north, you could certainly observe a lunar eclipse with the sun also visible.

because its just nonsensical.

like all these ****s asking him questions as to why hes pretending to be crazy and demanding an answer or trying to educate him, i likewise would like to know the reason behind feeding him?

It's easily more sensical than your "end goal" itt.

You act holier than thou while making multiple posts and continually opening the thread.

Even though I believe that the earth is round... I'll admit that I don't think that anyone here has been able to provide incontrovertible proof of the earth being a ball.
04-15-2015 , 03:52 PM
What would you consider incontrovertible proof?
04-15-2015 , 03:56 PM
There are about 3700 satellites.

He's a conspiracy nut so he won't believe pics or videos so honestly not sure what he expects.

There are hundreds of weather balloon videos on YouTube that show it.

533 people from 38 countries have orbited the Earth.

24 people have gone beyond earth orbit.

12 have walked on the moon.

OK... so what you're implying is that at least 533 people have seen with their own two eyes that earth is round. Video cameras have existed long before these guys went into space. So therefore, there should be plenty of videos showing that the earth is round.

Proof to me would be a video that looks out the window of a rocket/spaceship that we can watch from launch, all the way up into space to where we can see that the earth is round. I assume a video like that exists, but I don't think anyone has posted a video like that ITT.

n/m.

It was obviously not possible to prove anything to you.

Cool videos for everyone else though.
04-15-2015 , 05:04 PM
Of course, so what you really meant is not that you would believe if presented with video evidence, but that you would use every excuse in the book to try to discredit any video evidence presented. Even if the video was absolutely flawless, you'd say it looks too perfect and must be CGI.

I don't believe in the FE theory.

But clearly that video you posted isn't proof. I mean... just watch it... it's not a standard lens.

Watch the clip from 3:11 to 3:38... you're telling me this is 100% proof the earth is round?

You're telling me this footage was shot with a standard lens that didn't distort anything?

Do you even realize, at this moment, this;

Is how you criticize something like a round earth ? This video looks super dodgy ? What if there are 10 more videos that vary in degrees of dodgyness ? When is it enough ?
