Do I just wait for them to turn up here or message them? I am new to this board and I am aware that a place like this would be frequent for trolls so I just wanted to keep a low profile so I didn't cause any sort of commotion.

I keep no low profile. I'd just wait for them, and go elsewhere until they respond. Hehe...I've almost been banned a few times but, ya know, not anymore!

Honestly, I don't think anybody can answer your question adequately. There is no map. They've told me multiple times that there is no use for a map, and using the resources to make one would be inefficient (it's not). The best answer I can give you? A flat earth map either has day and night cycles, seasons, or distances between places. One or the other, never two or three.

What you're asking for, requires a definitive map to answer. One that shows proper distances between areas, days and night lengths, seasons. Without this map the FEs couldn't fully answer this question. And they don't have a a definitive map. So let me just swing you on by to a little place called: Google maps. Distances? Check! Day and night? Check! Seasons? Well, that could easily be figured out.

From what I have read about astronomers and philosphers in 'ancient times' they seemed to latch on pretty quickly to the idea that the Earth is round and if they could figure it out from empirical evidence alone then I can't see what the problem is today...  Aristarchus for example used his observations of the first quarter Moon alone to realise the Sun was bigger and further away than the Moon and that a lunar eclipse was due to the Moon crossing the Earths shadow.  He was just using his own eyes to do that. Noticing that the shadow of the Earth on the Moon was curved that suggested quite sensibly that the Earth was therefore round.

He saw that with his own eyes and so had no reason to disbelieve it or accuse someone else of deceiving him.

I apologize, I had read AllAroundTheWorld's post and had their name in my mind. But shootingstar did answer your question

We have. There's no need to create a map to establish this simple fact. Your issue appears to be that you want us to use our resources extremely inefficiently for your own satisfaction. I suggest that you manage your own resources however you please, but perhaps stay out of how others manage their own time.

Honestly I don't want you to use your resources extremely inefficiently. As according to Tom, you don't have those. I'd like to point out things that cannot be proved without a map:
Plate tectonics (And everything including them: Volcanoes, Earthquakes, ect ect)
Sun & moon cycles.
Seasons
The Ice wall
Distances between places (That actually make sense on a flat map)

So basically your entire movement depends on a map that nobody can seem to make

Without a map you can never accurately prove a lot of given "evidence" like how sun and moon cycles work, distances between places. Unless the majority agree on the same exact map, then how can round earther's take you seriously?

Somebody explain how the sun and moon cycles were adequately explained by ancient people who held to the flat earth.

Why should we repeat what was already explained by those prior civilizations?

Why do we care if RET takes FET seriously?

You could care less if FET takes RET seriously.

Please check your pompous behavior at the door.

Nobody is engaged in proselytizing here except for you and your ilk.

AllAroundTheWorld answered your first question. To your second, I'd like to quote George Santayana "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Prior civilizations are also the ones who discovered the Earth was round. Why can't we repeat what they already explained? Correcting older civilizations on their falsities. You should care because if you ever want to be known in the scientific world, and not be shunned by most scientists, then you're going to need a map to explain your claims.

"Nobody is engaged in proselytizing here except for you and your ilk." With this sentence I has officially heard the stupidest thing ever. This entire website is here to change peoples beliefs by showing the "evidence" of a flat earth. Is that not proselytizing?

Flat Earth Community / Resources and time

« on: January 04, 2019, 04:02:09 PM »

A common "explanation" of why there are no definitive maps or measurements for a flat Earth is Tom and his team don't have the time or resources. I'm gonna quote my science teacher on this one. "If you are not willing to put in the time, then your hypothesis is virtually useless." The internet is a powerful resource, and can easily be used by anyone on this site. There are probably tens of thousands of people who you can connect with at any point in time. Here's a great way to use this resource: break up the time, and resources required among hundreds of members across the world. Instead of one person doing all the work, I'm sure hundreds, thousands even, could easily take the time to combine their information. If the Flat Earth society has the time to create a meeting, and multiple websites, then they have time to gather people and find out if the world is actually spherical, or history for the past 2000 years has been wrong.

My only response is, what evidence do you have? Any at all? If you google the definition of a theory, it's generally supported by evidence...

(I realized afterwards that you never said theory, ignore this post)

Flat Earth Community / Re: Question for research paper: What convinced you that the earth is flat?

« on: December 19, 2018, 06:16:13 PM »

Hello! I wanted to ask what made you believe that the earth is flat. I'm asking because I'm doing a research paper for college that looks at both sides of the argument and I'm also legitimately curious. 

There is some very old writings that explain all things were created by the Father (creator/God) and he says its flat as a pancake. He will kick your ass if need be but he loves you. I ain't arguing, he said the book would NEVER change and it hasn't in 2,000 years......

That's not true... https://www.ranker.com/list/has-the-bible-changed/jacob-shelton

Flat Earth Theory / Underside of a flat earth

« on: December 19, 2018, 06:10:37 PM »

Assuming we go off the fact that plate tectonics some how work on a flat earth, we must also assume that under the surface is magma. So...what's under the magma? How would that connect to the surface? And if there is something under it, how does it not crumble away into the abyss below the accelerating disk? And if we assume there isn't magma under the surface, how do plate tectonics work? Are those even possible on a flat earth, the way they work on a round one? If they are, can anyone describe how they would fit together to give the same affect they would on a round earth?

I've seen a lot of posts saying there was evidence that wires were being used. I'm really not sure how any of these videos would make you believe that wires are in use. So please, prove me wrong with a nice, clear video that shows wires.

I have looked everywhere, and all the "evidence" given by those who are religious make almost no sense. If a god wanted us to believe in them, then it would probably want to start with making things super clear that is was there.
