Flat Earth Theory / Where is the map

« on: December 07, 2017, 04:47:06 PM »

Flat Earthers argue that there is no true Flat Earth map. If this is the case, then how do airplanes and ships know which direction to go to. They seems to know which direction to go to get to certain place and approximately how long it takes. How can this happen if there is no "true map"?

If you argue that they are sailing with approximate map, this means you KNOW the approximate orientation of the continent on the Earth. This means you can come up with approximate map which are, to some extent, accurate.

How come there is not such map. Every time we say the distance from the airplane flight disproves Flat Earth map, FE'ers argue "You cannot say that because we do not have a true map".

Flat Earth Theory / Below the surface

In Round Earth model, inside of Earth is explained. Its made of crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. It is also tested by calculating of seismic waves created from earthquake. Because seismic wave's speed change as they go through different parts of Earth.

How does it look like below the surface of Earth in Flat Earth model?

Also in Round Earth model, it is believed that there are tectonic plates are made up of Earth's crust. These plates move around very slowly and when they collide, earthquake happens. These plates move because of earth's mantle.

This is how earthquake if formed in Round Earth model. How does earthquake happen in Flat Earth? It cannot happen because of tectonic plates because they are based of theory that states Earth is made of crush, mantle, outer core, and inner core.
