You build a theory, then use the theory as a proof of the theory.

That is called scientism, its not science, its religious doctrine.

How strange - and yet your model is not, despite your basic inability to explain the phases of the moon. Or the fact that we can see completely different constellations from Australia and from Europe. Or how come perspective somehow leaves the sun looking roughly the same size, but just obscures the bottom part of it. How the distances between places we regularly travel between are actually much, much greater. How this mysterious "buoyancy" of yours is supposed to work without gravity.

[Jerome]

I did offer explanations, continuing to post the questions as if I had not is evidence of your dishonesty.

Notice how scientism adherents require dishonesty to hold their beliefs.

[Vivisectus]

Please point me to where you explained the phases of the moon. Then please also point out how you explained the difference in distance between a direct flight from Sidney to Chile. And an explanation of how buoyancy works without gravity.

Looks like the dishonesty is coming from you, Jerome. Also hypocrisy of course.

[Dragar]

Also - where's that flat Earth map, Jerome? You've opened my eyes but destroyed my preconceptions; at least teach me some real geography!

Actually, we are still waiting for you to post a picture of the edge of the Earth. You have posted a bunch of other pictures in an attempt to change the subject, which is evidence of both your dishonesty and inability to engage in an actual argument.

But you haven't posted one. Because you cannot.

Because the Earth, Jerome, is a SPHERE.

[Jerome]

You sure are beating that strawman to death. No one said there was an edge.

Pathetic in that your only option when presented with an observation which debunks your spinning sphere model is to attack strawmen.

The creator is real, and you are being shown the truth of it. I know satan feels good to you, you feel a part of a club, even though you probably don't understand it is satan, but you are being given the tools and opportunity.

When you are standing at the beach the ocean rises to your eye level. Do you think the water is really above your chest?

When you at the beach and look out you see the horizon at eye level, yet the water of the ocean is at your feet, proving the Earth is round. The horizon rises to the level of your eyes, yet the water stays at your feet, thus the surface of the ocean is curving up to your eye level at the horizon, starting at your feet, and then dropping off as shown by ships sailing over the horizon and disappearing with the top of the mast being the last thing you see.

Just talked to my son, who was in the navy, and he was telling me that any ship in the distance would be seen from the top of the mast first or last as it sailed over the horizon, thus proving that the Earth is curved and round. A ship didn't just disappear by getting too small, it always dropped down behind the horizon.

So there is a big hole/massive dip in the ocean over the mariana trench ..

Bahaaahaaaa

Holy shit, you really do think the water is above your chest when you are standing at the shore!

Dude, your scientism doesn't even say that.

You don't understand what you believe you believe. LMFAO!!

That means you think these train tracks are going 'up' from your position too.

Ask him about the rail gun that fires over 100 miles.

Its not a controlled projectile, its just a bullet.

That is 1.5 miles of curvature to account for. You know, a 1.5 mile tall earth curvature mountain between the rail gun and the target.

Read my post again, I said the water stays at your feet, not up to your chest. You even quoted it, do you really have a serious reading comprehension problem?

The tracks appear to be because your point of view starts above the level of the tracks and the view is down to the level of the tracks in the distance. I also notice that the tracks do not converge to a point in the distance, so much for your "Vanishing point".

Naval artillery often fires over the horizon, so what, it doesn't prove anything, except that the Earth is round.

The distance is from the surface to the center of the Earth, the Marianas trench is certainly not at the center.

Your illusion to the Marianas trench is a massive "red herring".

Here is the essence of Jerome's argument:

Unassailable logic! Bravo, Bravo!

You guys get your politics from comedians, and your science from cartoons.

So you are now saying you can't see the curve, its just perspective, weird how your story keeps changing..

To be clear, it the water at the horizon at your level, or above you?

[But]

Now Jeroll is pretending to be a flat-earther.



Try to come up with something better, will you?

And when a train would arrive, you would see it's top appear at the horizon. It would be slightly smaller than when we see it closer to, but not much: and as it gets closer, it would get slightly bigger, and we would see it slowly rise from behind the apparent horizon. Because that is how perspective works for the sun.

It would look a bit weird, because the tracks DO get really close together, suggesting the scale changes quite a bit. But hey, we have a video where you see the sun appear slightly smaller, so that must be what happens.

Hey it is amusing enough. I wish we could flesh out the model a bit more though. This version is a bit sloppy.
