Yes, which it does. The bible is not science text-book, Daniel. We all say that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. We all say this in spite of knowing that the sun isn't really what's doing the moving and yet we all understand what is being said and no one thinks that we are...

Saying it doesn't make it so, Dave. There are whole fields of science with multiple thousands of scientists that all depend, to one degree or another, on the fact that gravity works. Newton's law of gravity, in addition to being very well known (as in not a secret or written in some sort of...

Make the argument, Dave. Make some sort of argument. This is a debate forum, not a "Hey! Go check out this video that makes an argument." forum. You don't have to recreate the whole video in text format. Just pick something and make the argument. Poe's Law

Just what is it that is pushing everything down to the Earth, according to Eric? What does he say causes buoyancy if not gravity?

I never suggested it was the only stupidity that flat earthers come up with. I said it was my favoite. Poe's Law

No, it isn't.

They are constantly "descending". It's no anomaly at all. The altimeter is based on the distance in elevation from sea level which will, with a constant reading, cause the plane to continuously adjust for the curvature of the earth. It's the distances the planes fly that is the proof of the...

There is more than one flat earth website that puts forward this 1g acceleration "solution" to the gravity problem. Look up "gravity problem flat earth" on google. One of the top results will be a flat earth wiki article and there are several others, including the video I have at the bottom of...

My favorite flat earther rebuttal to the center of gravity problem is their contention that the earth (and the sun and the moon and the whole rest of the solar system, etc) is simply accelerating at 1g in a direction perfectly perpendicular to the surface of the flat Earth. The problem (well...

This thread is a cool example of Poe's Law! I love it! There are many evidences that the earth is in fact round - spherical in fact. On a flat Earth, the constellations seen from North America would be the same ones seen from South America. They are not the same. Therefore the Earth is not...

Everyone who even claims to be a Christian will tell you that God is just and kind and righteous and loving. But I'd venture to say that most of them do not actually believe this. Of course, they wholeheartedly and sincerely insist that they do believe it and would perhaps even be willing to die...

I've posted the following syllogism a few times in recent weeks and each time I've received no response at all to it. In fact, over the years I've posted this syllogism dozens of times and if I've ever seen anyone attempt to refute it, it's been so long ago that I cannot remember it and so I...

If the second coming happened in 70 AD, why isn't there any record of it? There were lots of believers who would have lived through the second coming of Christ but none, and I mean NONE, of the writers during the late first and early second centuries mention it. In fact, not only do they not...

Is Preterism Christianity? Of course all Preterists would defend their doctrine as being fully consistent with the bible and therefore the Christian faith but since there seems to be more preterists around lately I thought I'd ask the question in a more detailed way and see what sort of...

I'm not sure that you understood my question. I'm not talking about the things that God does that maybe we can't understand because of a lack of perspective or knowledge. I'm asking a PURELY hypothetical question that is philosophical in nature. I'm asking what if God where to do something that...

Is God moral? Sounds like a simple enough question. I'm always amazed at the squirming it causes! Please click "Yes" or "No" and then explain your answer. Notice there are only two answers. That's on purpose. Resting in Him, Clete ------------------------------------------ The following...

How is it not different? I invite you to answer the questions I just posed to LA. They illustrate just two of the differences between Paul and the twelve but to give you a direct answer, the difference is the Gospel of Grace. No one other than Paul preached the gospel of grace - no one. Not...

Do you believe the following statement to be true of false? Contradictions do not exist (ontologically). If you think you've found one, check your premises. You'll find that at least one of them is wrong. If you don't mind doing so, please post how you answered and indicate whether you're an...

Many of the arguments concerning public education have to do with religious issues. The following is the single best argument I have ever heard on the topic and it is offered by an atheist and it is anything but religiously based. I invite those of you who support the public education system...

Of course anyone can offer an answer but I want to hear from the Calvinists in particular on the following question.... If someone sets your house on fire in the middle of the night and then, once the house is fully engulfed in flames, rushes in to rescue you and your 2nd child but decides to...
