Flat earth point of view has been a understanding for quite a while. If it was debunked, why is it still a question, a topic of discussion? The earth is not flat because there are mountains and valleys, hills and depths. I will say this, THE EARTH IS NOT A BALL, OR GLOBE. What happens when you pour water on a basketball? It obviously falls of at the bottom. How could one possbibly flood a basketball where it would cover mountains(if it had mountains). It couldnt. I understand from the time we entered school the world has been presented in the form of a ball. So anything proposed otherwise must be absurd and crazy. Well if your in this forum most likely you believe that God exists and His scriptures yeild authority over any other scripts in existence. So I dont understand how so many people voted that the earth is globe versus the earth being "flat". I prefer to calling it horizontal, hence the horizon. If you read Genesis more attentively you will see what God thru Moses wrote about it and many other books written in the inspired word of God. So by looking at the outcome of the votes. I would conclude those who voted that its s globe or commented against those who believe in flat earth with their attempt to discredit it, are those who dont really know the bible, but because they think they
do, but are just religious hobbiests who dont know their elbow from their culios! Just saying.

Grabs popcorn, lol. Even more intriguing how anyone would believe it's shaped like a ball. But hey, just pray you ballers don't fall off in general, especially those in Australia. It's amazing how the water sticks to the earth, especially underneath the earth ball. That's even a harder concept to believe. Ballers possess the most amazing faith. Sorry, just being real.

That could be the same gravity that causes the popcorn that gets thrown in the air to fall back down into one's mouth rather than fly off in space. But it is a shame. If we had no gravity we wouldn't have to vacuum as much popcorn off the couch.

If you were to see the earth from space IE coming back to earth from the moon and It was perfectly round would you believe It then?

Behold, the arrogance of ignorance. You paid attention in school well enough to recall being taught that the earth is a ball, but missed the part when they taught about gravity. You also missed much of your grammar education, but we can excuse that for now.

It's amazing that anyone who believes The Earth is flat acknowledges the existence of Australia.
Australia, land of southern constellations & opposite equinoxes.

Speaking of Australia, the fact that shadows fall toward the North at locations South of the Tropic of Capricorn is proof that the North-centric flat Earth model is wrong. I have posted photos showing such on this site.

It is strange is it not what we here believe yet still never seen at all. All believe based on what someone said or they read or what some video shows. Real simple I believe because they told me. I have seen other planets (telescope) that look around spin not flat.. not sure why we alone would be flat but.. as long as I don't fall off I could careless haha.

Almost or kinda like.. could be :) people that say there is no such thing as ghosts. NO not the movie. Until you see one walking across your living room. We simple believe things based on mans only best guess like whats in the center of the earth or why the sun is still burning. That alone.. been like that since the start yet MAN knows why and whats in the sun? 7.5 miles deep and that's it we know whats in the earth and why it spins. The reason is we are flying through space.. opps no the sun spins around us.. oops we "planets" spin around the sun like big circles ..oops not circles haha.
