Whatever Plato wants to think doesn't matter at all. All that matters is that firstly the Holy Bible is in harmony with its own narrative, and then secondly can be observed in reality outside of its pages without contrivance.

Cube earth is Platonic. Not biblical.

The observation without contrivance part is false.

The flat earth theory is a contrivance in total.

Oh you would fall. You wouldn't fall hard at all, but you would fall.

Actually ingesting it through your space suit... That would be a bigger problem.

True. It would eventually get on the nerves to slosh everywhere I bounced.😆

God throws his glory into the lake of fire?
Psalm 19:1 “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.”

Psalm 66:4 “All the earth worships you and sings praises to you; they sing praises to your name.”




You said the pillars that hold up the flat disk earth originate in hell.

As I understand it (Gary, Moses, correct me if I'm wrong) they believe the observable planets are balls in our sky, much like the sun and moon - and they believe they are all MUCH smaller than the earth, nowhere near planetary or even lunar status.

If the earth were flat we would not be having this discussion. Somebody could fly out and video the edge in, like, half a day. And if there was a dome over the whole thing, we could fly a drone into it and at least have the fun of wrecking something in the name of science. BOOM!

😆 If there was a dome fireworks would be a whole lot more fun than they are already.

You could shoot off a bunch at the same time in all of America during July 4th celebrations and end up entertaining the people of the entire flat domed world.

Fireworjs blast off and are captured beneath and reflected off the concave side of the dome.

That's the biggest objection I have to flat earth theory. It would be so easy to conclusively prove by just flying out to the edge. Do you know how fast jets fly these days? Do you know their range these days? It's insane!

Fly something out to the edge, with a camera, and let's prove this once and for all. That's all I want from the FE community.

So why have 50+ governments of the world conspired to stop people doing that? If there's nothing to hide, let explorers explore Antarctica.

Conspired to stop people from doing that? How can they stop you?

With so many people in your group, not one single FE person can afford a jet?

For the record I did not mean that rhetorically. I wish one of you would get a jet and pop out there. It should be fairly easy to do.

Read about Jarle Andh0y. They made his life a living hell because he wouldn't get a permit to explore Antarctica. You can be fairly sure if he had tried, he would have been limited to where he could go, if permitted at all. His ship was sunk under mysterious circumstances. Why would 50+ countries, who can't agree on anything so much that many are often at war with each other, all agree on this issue?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jarle_Andhøy

The issue of exploring Antarctica is that few people have the explorer personality (just look at history). Of those that do, even fewer have the skills, health and wit (and luck/blessing) to survive. The whole licensing-to-explore thing pretty much lets the governments say to the very, very few who would explore Antarctica "No", or allows the licence conditions to permit only parts of Antarctica to be explored (which obviously wouldn't assist in proving the shape of the Earth).

I edited July 5th in that original post to July 4th before committing it to post and low and behold the 5th posted anyway.

It's the FE gremlins payback for mocking FE'ers I just know it. 😆
