so over say 20 miles we should see a drop of 266 feet.

but we don't see that. we can still see a laser or mirror reflection from shore to shore

Hmmm iam gonna study this more

@ChinaGirlNL if you really care about the "why"....ask yourself, what is the difference between a spinning ball (that supposedly resulted from a big explosion) and a flat surfaced earth with a firmament

from a metaphysical point of view. not the obvious physical differences

you don't have to answer. it's a rhetorical question

What difference do you mean? (Easier way of questioning please, I'm foreign and 15 😂)

does it seem reasonable that this would be the result of a big explosion? (e.g. "Big Bang")

yes or no

Sorry for saying this, but as a globe earther, I don't even think this seems reasonable at all (no offense)

hypothetically

No

great. so that would then lead one to what logical conclusion for where it came from?

if it didn't come from a random event then....

God

_The great question mark of atheism_

@hamed473 gave the answer I was expecting

if something is not the result of a randomprocess like the big bang...then

it most likely is the result of a guided process. e.g. a creator

I actually have to vacuum clean my house now

Lol

you are a Christian so this should be easy for you

Not an excuse, I try to procrastinate it XD

Yes of course

(I'll be back in 5-20 minutes, depends on my dog 😂)

your dog is vacuuming?

No, he loses hair, so I have to clean it up

And if he keeps walking around, I can start over again

I wish he could 😂

Are there penguins on flat earth?

Same, I am new too

But the enquiries sounded promising

@Flat Earth PhD are there penguins on flat earth

I assume there are penguins, they are kinda hard to deny

You got a PhD after all

(I'm confused... What do you have against penguins?)

Sure :)

cool it with the stupid questions. no trolling here

Penguins are cute but they are too cute to be real

This isnt trolling, we are new to the community

So are pugs?
