right

2019-04-09 20:33:08 UTC  

The theory by flat earthers is that the sun is very close to the earth and small.

2019-04-09 20:33:16 UTC  

Hmmm

2019-04-09 20:33:24 UTC  

how many flat earths can fit in the sun

2019-04-09 20:33:30 UTC  

They also had someone get In a boat and film as they went towards the skyline and showed it was visible the same way all the way across

2019-04-09 20:33:34 UTC  

But like we’ve been to space the astronauts could see it?

2019-04-09 20:33:35 UTC  

No mirage

2019-04-09 20:33:50 UTC  

Also, it's highly possible they were filming from a vantage point.

2019-04-09 20:34:02 UTC  

From water level in the boat

2019-04-09 20:34:29 UTC  

why would nasa lie abt the shape of the earth

2019-04-09 20:34:39 UTC  

They say it's for money.

2019-04-09 20:34:45 UTC  

Also, I need sources on that

2019-04-09 20:35:12 UTC  

I don't mean this in a rude way, but whoever's a flat earther here, may I ask something?

Engineer, W. Winckler, wrote into the Earth Review October 1893 regarding the Earth’s supposed curvature, stating, “As an engineer of many years standing, I saw that this absurd allowance is only permitted in school books. No engineer would dream of allowing anything of the kind. I have projected many miles of railways and many more of canals and the allowance has not even been thought of, much less allowed for. This allowance for curvature means this – that it is 8” for the first mile of a canal, and increasing at the ratio by the square of the distance in miles; thus a small navigable canal for boats, say 30 miles long, will have, by the above rule an allowance for curvature of 600 feet. Think of that and then please credit engineers as not being quite such fools. Nothing of the sort is allowed. We no more think of allowing 600 feet for a line of 30 miles of railway or canal, than of wasting our time trying to square the circle”

I thought the human race like evolved as in we should be smarter

Christian flat earth ministry

2019-04-09 20:36:05 UTC  

"christian flat earth ministry"

2019-04-09 20:36:08 UTC  

I'll just ask anyway,

2019-04-09 20:36:09 UTC  

Bias.

2019-04-09 20:36:09 UTC  

is that a church

2019-04-09 20:36:11 UTC  

right

2019-04-09 20:36:17 UTC  

Still consider the evidence provided

2019-04-09 20:36:22 UTC  

How does the sun and moon work for flat earthers?

2019-04-09 20:36:25 UTC  

Of course it's biased to its own side.

2019-04-09 20:36:25 UTC  

but in 1800s

2019-04-09 20:36:31 UTC  

it’s fake

2019-04-09 20:36:34 UTC  

So far each source presented hasn't been neutral, unlike what evidence should be.

2019-04-09 20:36:38 UTC  

the suns just God’s lamp

2019-04-09 20:37:01 UTC  

Well you will have to engage with the evidence such as it is on its own merits not dismiss it based on its source per se

2019-04-09 20:37:22 UTC  

Would you accept a source from NASA explaining gravity?

2019-04-09 20:37:31 UTC  

lmaooo

2019-04-09 20:37:51 UTC  

What I mean is, if the earth were to be flat, would the sun and moon just move around themselves? That's always kinda confused me about flat earthers and it'd be interesting if one were to explain it.

2019-04-09 20:37:51 UTC  

dead silence I see

2019-04-09 20:38:06 UTC  

I should explain my position

2019-04-09 20:38:14 UTC  

Although I'm arguing the flat earth side

2019-04-09 20:38:27 UTC  

I've actually studied it quite a lot and concluded overall the esrh is not flat

2019-04-09 20:38:38 UTC  

I would hope so

2019-04-09 20:38:50 UTC  

However there are very interesting anomalies and points the flat earth side make

2019-04-09 20:38:56 UTC  

That are intriguing and puzzling

2019-04-09 20:38:56 UTC
