There is insufficient visual evidence to prove it either way but visual evidence is not the only evidence, as this thread has demonstrated 14,542,718 times.

I wouldn't be dogmatic either way. In any case, neither of those things require or even imply a flat Earth cosmology.

I reject every premise of the above quoted comment. The Bible does not make any sort of argument that the Earth is flat. It discusses the Earth in terms that are consistent with out every day experience, which, as we've just been discussing, is practically flat, but the Bible makes no...

I know that the drop is six feet at three miles but I dispute the .04° figure because a right triangle with one side being 72 inches and the long side opposite the hypotenuse being 15800 feet yields and angle opposite the 72 inch side of .0261° not .04°. As for the bulge, it is only relevant...

You're still misunderstanding the bulge, Dave. There is no 12 feet. The error you're making has to do with the way the site is drawing the triangle. The distance in the interactive part of that site is not "a line from the point on the surface where we are standing to the horizon". In fact...

There is no bulge! :bang: You just simply cannot be this stupid! The surface of the Earth drops 6 feet in three miles. If we convert miles to feet then three miles is 15840 feet. If you plug in those numbers here you find that the angle that you're look down at the horizon at is a whopping...

Respect is earned. You had my respect and chose to intentionally squander it. If you want it back, as I said before, you're fixing to learn that it's much harder to earn a thing than it is to squander it. I'd say that the sort of trust you are referring to is basically synonymous with respect...

What speaks to one's character isn't argumentation, it's the intentional, systematic and consistent act of ignoring arguments, refusing to respond to them and, most importantly, refusing to allow very simple and clearly sound reasoning to persuade one's mind. Such a person is, by definition...

Because if VERY specific predictions that the Law of Gravity implies that all have been proven true. Predictions not just about how things happen here on the surface of the Earth but also the Moon, the Plants and their moons, asteroids, comets, you name it, they all follow Newton's Law of...

Stupidity

Oh here we go again with more fake YouTube lie videos. :bang: David, I think the real core of the problem here is that you have no discernment. You're the most naive person I've ever interacted with.

Mocking you has nothing to do with proving your wrong. You have been proven wrong and yet refuse to allow the proof to persuade your mind. Therefore you are mocked and rightly so. And neither Newton nor Einstein based their theories on thought experiments! Sure, they used thought experiments in...

Actually, if by "his ideas" you mean "Relativity", no, they really didn't. Real life experiments led to the wide spread acceptance of his ideas, and for good reason, but to say that Einstein has been PROVEN right is something of an overstatement, if not an outright myth. That, of course, is a...

So totally right and well said!

David, I personally know people who have captured photos of the ISS with their own cameras. There are websites dedicated to teaching people how to do it. There are no balloons! The above image is from http://soggyastronomer.com/how-to-photograph-the-international-space-station/

David, I am beyond frustrated with this entire discussion. To think that what you've done in this thread qualifies as "digging deep" absolutely boggles my mind. You can't even read my posts and detect the difference between "almost perfectly parallel" and simply "parallel" and want to call me an...

I never said that they were parallel. MORON! What I did do was prove you're stupid. Good bye David. I'm not participating in this idiotic waste of time any longer. Go be stupid and make the whole Christian world look like idiots while you're at it. :wave2:

You are truly stupid. The photo was taken by a camera. One camera from one location. Like I said, whenever its convenient for you, you ignore perspective. It's because you're a mix of liar and idiot. The rays you are seeing in the photo look like they are shooting down but the angle is much...

Nope, they're stupid, lying pieces of evil deception that you are actively participating in and lending the Christian name too. FOOL!

And yet you ignore perspective whenever it is convenient for you...
