The shape and form of the flat earth are both a circle.
you didn't learn anything from the vocabulary lesson =\
so that sentence makes no sense.

a "circle" is not a form. forms are 3-d; shapes are 2-d. a circle is 2-d.


what you're talking about as far as the "form" of the earth isn't a "circle" -- it's more properly, a "disk" -- something with a thickness.
the Hebrew word in Isaiah 40:22 translated "circle" is a 2-d geometry word.
there is a different word that means "disk" or "wheel" -- something with a thickness, a 3-d geometry word -- that is not the one used in that passage.

so what i hope you will realize, is that your basis for this whole silly goose-chase is a fundamental misunderstanding of geometric vocabulary.

in Isaiah 40:22 the scripture is not talking about a 3-dimensional "form" -- it's not describing the "shape" of the Earth any more than the figurative verse about the angels at the "four corners" is telling us that the Earth is rectangular.
this is a 2-d word, "circle" -- it's describing a purely 2-d concept: perimeter. the breadth of all you can see in every direction if you were to look around you. as far as you could reach if you stuck out your hands and twirled. it's not describing the "form" of the Earth, dude -- if it were, it would use a 3-d geometry word, not a 2-d one, because we do not live in Flatland.
it's describing an 'encompassing distance' -- it means, the Lord sits over the "whole of the Earth"

A globe does not have four corners. The earth is not a globe.

A globe does not have four corners. The earth is not a globe.
So you believe that not only is the earth flat it is also square? How did you come to the conclusion that a globe does not have four corners?

Canals and Railways Attest to the Flat Earth

Curvature of the earth is never factor in by engineers, surveyors and architects when building their projects – which proves the earth is not a globe. Canals, roadways and rail tracts are always laid horizontally.
Canal boat in England

Surveyor T. Westwood wrote in 1896 stated, “In leveling, I work from Ordinance marks, or canal levels, to get the height above sea level. The puzzle to me used to be, that over several miles each level was and is treated throughout its whole length as the same level from end to end; not the least allowance being made for curvature. One of the civil engineers in this district, after some amount of argument on each side as to the reason why no allowance for curvature was made, said he did not believe anybody would know the shape of the earth in this life.”

no, it proves that gravity always points to the center of the Earth. everywhere on earth, locally, gravity is "down"

"level" according to a bubble-type level is not the same as "level" according to a laser.

but then, in your make-believe world, gravity is nonsense, right? because you can't explain why the heavenly bodies exhibit the motions they do, or why things have weight, and why that measurement of weight is consistent with a spherical planet & inconsistent with a relatively thin plate.

links like the ones you keep posting deceive the ignorant because their understanding of physics is weak.

I already show you the picture with the square and circle.

like you said yourself, you cannot have it both ways. that picture is a square, so it makes you a liar when you say it is a circle.

posting a map of something does not make it a real place :)

mankind is famous for his imagination

. . is treated throughout its whole length as the same level from end to end; not the least allowance being made for curvature.
the great wall in China is not made of one single, thousand-mile-long brick. it is made of many small bricks. the degree of curvature over a few inches is so small you can barely measure it with the most precise of instruments -- not the kind of instruments you use when you are putting bricks together.

this sort of talk is just nonsense and relies on you having no understanding. it is bait-and-switch, sleight-of-hand thinking, ignoring elephant in room of physical reality to make you feel like "aha! i have special knowledge!"
it's deceptive, and makes use of your naivety and lack of understanding, appealing to your vanity.

Do you see the square and the circle


i see arbitrary corners sketched around a roulette table with a map of the Earth superimposed on it.

because you are deceived, you think that makes it jive. but it doesn't make it jive at all. it's confusion.

is this how you think gravity works?

D82FieldStrengthPic600.jpg

why aren't all the buildings in the southern hemisphere tilted towards the south pole? why don't people start tilting at sharper angles when they stand up, to remain upright the further they get from the north pole?

why does gravity point straight down everywhere on the face of the Earth, huh???

The Holy Bible confirms the earth is a circle, and, since a circle is not a globe; I believe Holy Bible scripture.

we've been over this, but you could not read with comprehension.
