Your video is full of assumptions and if you took time to understand (not necessarily agree) true investigations of "flat earthers" you would see how stupid that presentation video is EVEN if flat earth is wrong.

What I do not understand about the flat earth is the flight patterns,which if a designation is to the left,they could only go left,and if to the right,only right,but on their map they have America on the left,and Okinawa on the right,but the flight goes from America to Okinawa to the left,so how do they reach their designation.

I do not think it matters how they do the map,there will be flight patterns that go in the opposite direction of their designation,so how did they make it.

Also if the sun is 3000 miles above earth at all times,it would seem like it would not come up on the horizon like we see it appear,but would look like it is much farther back and coming straight for quite a while.

Also if it is above the earth 3000 miles,wouldn't it seem like if you were in the middle of the earth,you could see the sun at all times,for that is quite a distance to be up in the air,but not see it for such a long period during the night.

Isn't it obvious? All our maps and charts are flat. They are folded, too, so the Earth is probably also folded. You hardly ever see a "globe" anymore, so a lot of people must be wising up.
Hebrews 1:10-12 (KJV) And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment; And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.


Not folded yet, but will be :).

Do you believe the earth is flat? We did not mean mental illness in a poking fun way.
I'm not ruling it out, I've been looking into it for about 3 years now. To be honest, flat earth is the option that presents our world in a way that we don't need all the extra reasoning for how and why things work.

At it's shortest distance the sun in 93 million miles from earth, the longest 94 million miles. If the sun were only 3000 miles away the earth would cease to exist.

For ONE, The sun and moon are IN the firmament ("dome") in FE... The video does not show that for the eclipse.

Don't be rude, it's not necessary. I asked a question I would like to know why flat earth believers think the earth is flat. I am serious when I ask. I was not saying all people who question if the earth is round are mentally ill, I'm saying when people become obsessed with several different conspiracy theories it seems like it might be a mental illness.

My Aunts neighbor who I discussed in a post focuses 24/7 of his life searching for how the government is watching him and his family. You know what? They probably are. He hasn't paid the IRS taxes in many years, all of the money he earns is under the table. You can't get away with that forever. He has put his family in a very bad position.

Why is this so? Unless you assume to know how hot the sun really is?

I understand your position.

How was I rude? The word "stupid"? What word would you have preferred I used?

Because it's mostly conspiracy theorists that believe this. So NASA is just an agency the government uses to deceive people. So naturally all they have to do is say 'that was faked' and they feel they've shut down your argument.
NASA has told us those pics are composites, paintings and renderings.... Hey, why do our continents keep changing sizes?

It's NOT a video. It's a gif. Are you not familiar with gifs? :confused:

And as most people on CC know, I look for any ol' opportunity to post silly gif's about silly subjects.

And by the way, I do take the time to understand... spiritual truth, that is. The things of this world are passing away, so why waste time worrying about it and trying to get other people focused on the cares of the world instead of Jesus Christ? To make a religion out of "flat earth beliefs" is about as stupid as they come.

I don't care if the earth is a prism sitting on a pillar made of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene. God is still Lord of all and tells me not to worry about anything... including world conspiracies. :p

Thought it was 9938.999, but living in Texas, 9940 is more believable.
Because you have a temperature gauge that won't disintegrate at HOW HIGH OF HEAT?
