No, the earth is not flat.

I think we all know flat earthers are just trolls looking for attention.

Kind of a trollish comment, when there is no proof of a ball-Earth and magic gravity is the excuse for ball-Earth contradicting its own theories.

see what I mean?

Planets are pizza's!

If you're going to repeat this phrase, at least get your grammar sorted. Anchovies may or may not belong on pizzas, but apostrophes definitely don't.

I think you give flat earthers to much credit. It would better if this is true, but sadly, people honestly believe in a flat earth. I will show you the video of the flat earth conference.

"We're not crazy! *Cheer* "




I would say, flat earthers are either in denial, have major learning disabilities, combination of the two, or prescription drugs. At this point, I really don't care. They can believe whatever they want, just like Heliocentric believers.

Earth's shape is fascinating, but maybe what's more important, is what benefit does knowing the earth's true shape? That's really key I think.

For me believing in a Concave Hollow Earth, I feel God is closer, is in control, and allows to me filter out things that are a waste of time. Such as space aliens, moon landings, space travel, unknown galaxies, and faulty science. It really explains reality to me, that can be proven, rather than some lab coat spouting off scientific formulas (That can't be proven right or wrong). It also allows me to laugh at NASA, which is fun.

I wish people in NASA and the scientific community could just admit, that they don't know things, and present their information as it is their best guess, but it is rarely presented that way, if ever. This leads to further laughter in my view point, but they have to sound convincing, since they are getting government funding.

I relocated this thread here solely to keep the flat earth insanity out of the other forums

NASA has kinda lost its credibility by lying - the issue has only snowballed over the past few decades, and now a large section of the population don't believe them. Isn't the invention of a new organisation using the same methodology of lying the easiest and most obvious alternative for them? Afterall, they had all that taxpayer money, and all they ever produced was a few rockets that went nowhere, and a handful of obviously fraudulent videos. How simple to create, purchase or otherwise hire other organisations that many folk won't associate with the first?

Your reference to Eratosthenes allegedly "proving" the Earth is flat has been addressed many times before, but I post below for the convenience of the casual reader. In short, you cannot prove something by relying on the assumption that it is true.

"The problem with this (as a proof of ball-Earth) [i.e. Eratosthenes' "proof"] is that the result is similar whether Earth is a sphere or flat. Flat Earthers simply respond that of course the angle of the sun is different at different places, because of trigonometry. To demonstrate this, simply place two upright blocks on a table about 1 meter apart and hold a torch overhead the first upright block. The shadow created by the first block will be almost non-existant [sic], dependent on how well the torch is held overhead, whilst the shadow created by the second block will be more pronounced. This doesn't mean the table is curved - it means trignometry [sic] results in different shadows dependent on the position of the blocks and the torch.

(It may have been that Eratosthenes assumed a large sun and a large distance between it and Earth for his "proof". However, these are Heliocentric assumptions, and it's circular reasoning to claim to prove a theory with the very theory one is trying to prove. Flat Earthers typically believe the sun is much smaller and closer than Heliocentrists. This is consistent with observation, which shows the sun's rays approach Earth at different angles, rather than all at the same angle as would be consistent with an [almost] infinitely large sun at an [almost] infinite distance)."

Unlike flat earthers, us pizza earthers can be corrected when were wrong.

Planets are pizzas!

The earth has a crust... pizza has a crust... I think you might be on to something.

May I just ask what difference does it make either way? Just think about it.

um, hello...

Erasthones wasn't proving the earth is a globe, he was calculating an estimate of the circumference of the globe.

so, whatever you were quoting there, is pretty ignorant.

it was already well proven the earth is spherical from many ways, for hundreds of years before Erasthones, from ships disappearing over the horizon, from the motion of stars, from the sunrise and sunset, from the shadow of the earth during an eclipse of the moon, etc.

According to modern science, eclipses do exist but cannot possibly exist.

Modern science disagrees with itself.
