The Bible. And you can't argue with that.Okay great. Can you be a bit more specific? I sincerely doubt the entire bible is about the earth's flatness, or the movement would've surfaced eons ago.
Spycrab has not posted in that thread, so I'll take your word for him objecting elsewhere.I have voiced my complaints on "Debate Rule 6".
It's a good start, but we need to tack on a little more.What do you see as the purpose of this community? What is the point of these boards?I pretty much agree, but FE people will need to make a bit more effort.This is a fantastic example of the misunderstanding we ought to deal with. This is not a personal support forum for RE'ers who are looking for a clash. It is extremely unlikely that you will ever see "more effort" on that front, simply because this has never been the purpose of this community.
You're the one who seeks publicity, you seek to gain attention.
Here's a newsflash: Almost everyone in the world is a "round earther".
So most people who hear about you guys and looks here is going to think "What the hell is this nonsense?"
Some of those people, like me, will sign up and start posting and because we think it's nonsense we'll say it's nonsense.
Now, some people will sign up and post things like "lol, earth is round, ur stupid". Those people should be banned immediately (not warned). If I was a mod here I wouldn't bother with people like that. There are ways of stopping that, making it so new users have to be manually approved if you get repeat offenders or making it so new users can only post on certain sections of the board and promote them to full membership once they've shown they're not idiots. (I'm assuming this is all possible, the boards I've moderated provide this sort of functionality).
Other people, like me, are interested in debating the issues, explaining why (in our opinion) the earth is round and showing why (in our opinion) the flat earth ideas don't stand up to scrutiny.
I guess the problem is if the balance between FE and RE posters is wrong then you're going to get too many of me and not enough of you.
From experience you can't force a board to be something it isn't. Boards are simply a reflection of the people who post. If you want more FE content then more FE people need to post. If you think that the sheer number of RE people is putting them off then fine, ban RE people from posting.
You are claiming that there is permanent mirage that always makes the earth look exactly flat?The pot called. It said you're a black kettle.
I would point you to the fact that Nixon, on camera; "rang" the astronauts on the moon. And yet I can't get a signal in my shed? Yeah definetly makes sense... On a serious note though; what does makes sense is that is Government lied to us in one respect - then they would happily do it again in that same field. Shall I continue; oh sheeped one?Well yeah, but that's a poor example. The towers that give you your cell phone connection is an entirely different technology to what they used to talk to the astronauts. It was hardly even a phone call. More like a 2-way radio.
On July 20, 1969, President Nixon spoke with crew members Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin via telephone-radio transmission.https://www.archives.gov/presidential-libraries/events/centennials/nixon/exhibit/nixon-online-exhibit-calls.html
In the flat earth wiki, the earth's flatness is regarded as an obvious truth and any evidence against it is fabricated.
On what is this based?
If the truth is so obvious, what revelatory evidence is behind it?
Being a cornerstone of FE belief, it must be very convincing.
Care to enlighten me on this subject?
By the end of Apollo in 1972, the U.S. had spent about $25 billion on the program, Siddiqi said — well over $100 billion in today's dollars.https://www.space.com/11336-space-race-united-states-soviets-spaceflight-50years.html
Now hang on, friend.
Do the maths.
Now you know that's not going to happen. If this particular poster (the holocaust denier) were able to do the maths, an entire belief system would fall apart.
OK, I shall do them. Let's say ...
Lowest orbit - 180km
Highest orbit - 6950km
(These were the limits of the SpaceX Tesla orbit)
Volume of a sphere, based on each of these, and Earth radius 6971;
(6371+180)cubed * 4/3 * 3.14 = 1,177,039,894,339 cubic km
(6371+6950)cubed * 4/3 * 3.14 = 9,896,437,120,007
Difference = volume available to sats = 8,719,397,225,669
Number of satellites = almost 3000, so space on average per satellite = 9,763,852,461,509 / 3000 =
2,906,465,742 cubic km each
And so this will go down as another huge win for flat Earth theory where the globalists had no answer.
