EMILO2STAY:


your statement reeks of too much self induced ignorance. You ignore your common sense to believe nonsense you cannot prove. How can you not have a sense of upside down but if you were to be hanged upside down from your house roof tops you will not only see that you are upside down but your body will also react to it. Pls stop beeing a fool on purpose and only quote me if you have something meaningful to say.

atoleybaba:
obviously arguing with u will only diminish ones thinking faculty.....u feel u are upside down if u hang from ur roof cos of gravity.....have u heard of gravity before? Yes that is what makes u have the sense that u are upside down.....in outer space, there is nothing like gravity hence u won't know when the earth is upside down cos of gravity from the surface of the earth...infact this argument is over die in ur stupidity. I opened the thread to see meaningful something that will make me question my belief all for me to see stuffs like it's composed by a kid that have not gone to school. I could have even believed u a little had it been u have gone out of space or something but it is obvious that u av not even flown in a plane....

EMILO2STAY:
see how you contradict your self, that is because you have become a fool for the nonsense you call science which you cannot verify in any way. You say we don't have a sense of upside down while standing on the ball earth but again say we have a sense of upside down because of gravity, are you standing in space right now or standing on the earth.

what is the evidence of your gravity if not for newton?
So it is gravity that makes your blood flow downwards into your head when you are hanging upside down from your roof top? , do you even know the natural physics of water or liquid?.

Mr if you have nothing meaningful don't quote me spilling stupidity.

atoleybaba:
shut up slowpoke....u gave an example of hanging from a roof and I am explaining why ur example is diff.....when u hang inside down obviously ur head will be turning towards d ground(gravity) but when the earth is facing upside down u can't know because there is no gravity in space that will pull u......the reason why u can tell u are upside down when on Earth is because of gravity....stop being a fool. I understood this explanation from J's classes so why are u doing like an slowpoke that nothing can enter his brain.....let me make d point clear GRAVITY MAKES YOU KNOW WHEN YOU ARE UPSIDE DOWN, GRAVITY HOLDS U FORM TO THE GROUND WHN THE EARTH IS UPSIDE DOWN AND SINCE THERE IS NO GRAVITY IN SPACE, NOTHING TO PULL U FROM THE EARTH HENCE YOU CANT KNOW WHEN U ARE UPSIDE DOWN

EMILO2STAY:
so how come this same gravity does not make people notice when they turn upside down when an aircraft flies from south america to australia or when they are side ways or are commercial aircrafts flirting in space? you are the slow poke who have turned your self into the fool and have rejected the use of your common sense in favour of useless theories you can never verify.

Yahman1:
can't believe this thread is still on, it's 2020 already, u still believe in your flat Earth, I give up on u

EMILO2STAY:
its 2020 and yet no real image of the earth only photoshopped pictures. But you have hubble telescope that can view the sun 93million miles away but cannot turn around to take one single image of the earth.

Stay there no go develope sense

Well, what I actually meant is that u can keep on wallowing in your lame Beliefs this 2020, it's a Free world after all

doyouknowjohnny:
This is one of the most brain draining threads I've ever come across. Please and please Mods close this garbage. Flat earth theory in 2020..Sorry Op go and learn mechanic work under Kazeem with his crazy logic in detecting faults. Education/Enlightenment not for you

abbeg:
EMILO2STAY, you still haven't answered my question...
how do eclipses occur on a flat earth?
You still believe in the semi-retarded American conspiracy theory I see?
You know the whole movement started out as a joke on 4chan right?
Stop dodging direct questions please
Answer me

EMILO2STAY:
As for the earth eclipse of the moon no one really knows. But it believed that a dark body known as raku by the ancient covers the face of the moon and not the shadow of the earth. The earth cannot cast a shadow on the moon that is a light. It is only a theory.

Yahman1:
The Op and all his flat Earth contributors deserve Medals for their extreme ignorance

EMILO2STAY:
I am not dodging anything, you guys are the people dodging. Eclipses happen because the sun and moon are the same size as you see them, and move around similar paths in their orbit. The luminaries move not the earth, sun dial and moon dial proves it. Besides that you can even see it with your own eyes. Eclipse of the sun happens when the moon moves across the face of the sun and obscures it for a short time before moving away. As for the earth eclipse of the moon no one really knows. But it believed that a dark body known as raku by the ancient covers the face of the moon and not the shadow of the earth. The earth cannot cast a shadow on the moon that is a light. It is only a theory.

abbeg:
wait, wait....let me catch my breath....... HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
So you woke up one day, dug up some prehistoric bullshit scrolls, written in a time when men thought there were only 1000 stars in the sky, looked at this scrolls/article side by side with actual credible info from MULTIPLE space agencies worldwide......and sided with the cave men.
This is unbelievably funny!
Ok first in the flat earth model the moon is NOT moving under the sun, they both CIRCLE earth, note the word, CIRCLE, not ORBIT earth on exactly the same plane. But now you're saying the moon suddenly bends down for the sun to pass over it? Or is there some sort of confusion in the flat earth society over the movement of the sun and moon? Because if the sun and moon do infact orbit the flat earth, all the countries in earth would share one day and night. If you say they orbit earth, but close to each other then at some point they would both go under the world, leaving EVERYWHERE on earth in total darkness. Fortunately, the globe earth explains eclipses beautifully.
And sundials do not prove shite. Go and try to grasp how enormous our planet is before expecting curves to pop up everywhere. Hell, you could play the Microsoft flight simulator. I believe it accurately depicts flying around the world. Then you can have some understanding of how big of an object we're dealing with.

EMILO2STAY:
your free to wallow in your self induced ignorance am done with you.

abbeg:
Ummm....
Ok!! Nice comeback
If believing in tried, tested and proven information makes me "ignorant"....

Then I'm the biggest ignoramus on our spherical earth

EMILO2STAY:
how was it tried tested and proven that the sun is 93million miles away, how was it tried tested and proven that the earth is curved 8inches /m^2?. If you can answer this questions by showing a tried tested and proven data that anyone can observe and replicate then you are intelligent indeed but if you cannot then you are truely ignorant and delusional. The ball is in your court now prove yourself or you shut up and stay in your self induced ignorance.

Godhatesodomy:



The following is a verbatim copy of the book A Hundred Proofs the Earth Is Not a Globe by William Carpenter (1885).

1. The aeronaut can see for himself that Earth is a Plane. The appearance presented to him, even at the highest elevation he has ever attained, is that of a concave surface - this being exactly what is to be expected of a surface that is truly level, since it is the nature of level surfaces to appear to rise to a level with the eye of the observer. This is ocular demonstration and proof that Earth is not a globe.

2. Whenever experiments have been tried on the surface of standing water, this surface has always been found to be level. If the Earth were a globe, the surface of all standing water would be convex. This is an experimental proof that Earth is not a globe.

3. Surveyors' operations in the construction of railroads, tunnels, or canals are conducted without the slightest "allowance" being made for "curvature," although it is taught that this so-called allowance is absolutely necessary! This is a cutting proof that Earth is not a globe.

3. There are rivers that flow for hundreds of miles towards the level of the sea without falling more than a few feet - notably, the Nile, which, in a thousand miles, falls but a foot. A level expanse of this extent is quite incompatible with the idea of the Earth's "convexity." It is, therefore, a reasonable proof that Earth is not a globe.

4. The lights which are exhibited in lighthouses are seen by navigators at distances at which, according to the scale of the supposed "curvature" given by astronomers, they ought to be many hundreds of feet, in some cases, down below the line of sight! For instance: the light at Cape Hatteras is seen at such a distance (40 miles) that, according. to theory, it ought to be nine-hundred feet higher above the level of the sea than it absolutely is, in order to be visible! This is a conclusive proof that there is no "curvature," on the surface of the sea - "the level of the sea,"- ridiculous though it is to be under the necessity of proving it at all: but it is, nevertheless, a conclusive proof that the Earth is not a globe.

5. If we stand on the sands of the sea-shore and watch a ship approach us, we shall find that she will apparently "rise" - to the extent, of her own height, nothing more. If we stand upon an eminence, the same law operates still; and it is but the law of perspective, which causes objects, as they approach us, to appear to increase in size until we see them, close to us, the size they are in fact. That there is no other "rise" than the one spoken of is plain from the fact that, no matter how high we ascend above the level of the sea, the horizon rises on and still on as we rise, so that it is always on a level with the eye, though it be two-hundred miles away, as seen by Mr. J. Glaisher, of England, from Mr. Coxwell's balloon. So that a ship five miles away may be imagined to be "coming up" the imaginary downward curve of the Earth's surface, but if we merely ascend a hill such as Federal Hill, Baltimore, we may see twenty-!five miles away, on a level with the eye - that is, twenty miles level distance beyond the ship that we vainly imagined to be " rounding the curve," and "coming up!" This is a plain proof that the Earth is not a globe.

6. If we take a trip down the Chesapeake Bay, in the day-time, we may see for ourselves the utter fallacy of the idea that when a vessel appears "hull down," as it is called, it is because the hull is "behind the water:" for, vessels, have been seen, and may often be seen - again, presenting the appearance spoken of, and away - far away - beyond those vessels, and, at the same moment, the level shore line, with its accompanying complement of tall trees towering up, in perspective, over the heads of the "hull-down" ships! Since, then, the idea will not stand its ground when the facts rise up against it, and it is a piece of the popular theory, the theory is a contemptible piece of business, and we may easily wring from it a proof that Earth is not a globe.

7. If the Earth were a globe, a small model globe would be the very best - because the truest - thing for the. navigator to take to sea with him. But such a thing as that is not known: with such a toy as a guide, the mariner would wreck his ship, of a certainty!, This is a proof that Earth is not a globe.

8. As mariners take to sea with them charts constructed as though the sea were a level surface, however these charts may err as to the true form of this level surface taken as a whole, it is clear, as they find them answer their purpose tolerably well - and only tolerably for many ships are wrecked owing to the error of which we speak - that the surface of the sea is as it is taken to be, whether the captain of the ship "supposes" the Earth to be a globe or anything else. Thus, then, we draw, from the common system of "plane sailing," a practical proof that Earth is not a globe.

9. That the mariners' compass points north and south at the same time is a fact as indisputable as that two and two makes four; but that this would be impossible if the thing, were placed on a globe with "north" and "south' at the centre of opposite hemispheres is a fact that does not figure in the school-books, though very easily seen: and it requires no lengthy train of reasoning to bring out of it a pointed proof that the Earth is not a globe.As the mariners' compass points north and south at one time, and as the North, to which it is attracted is that part of the Earth situated where the North Star is in the zenith, it follows that there is no south "point" or "pole" but that, while the centre is North, a vast circumference must be South in its whole extent. This is a proof that the Earth is not a globe.

10. As we have seen that there is, really no south point (or pole) but an infinity of points forming, together, a vast circumference -- the boundary of the known world, with its battlements of icebergs which bid defiance to man's onward course, in a southerly direction - so there can be no east or west "points,' just as there is no "yesterday," and no "tomorrow." In fact, as there is one point that is fixed (the North), it is impossible for any other point to be fixed likewise. East and west are, therefore, merely directions at right angles with a north and south line: and as the south point of the compass shifts round to all parts of the circular boundary, (as it may be carried round the central North) so the directions east and west, crossing this line, continued to form a circle at any latitude. A westerly circumnavigation, is going around with the North Star continually on the right hand, and an easterly circumnavigation is performed only when the reverse condition of things is maintained, the North Star being on the left hand as the journey is made. These facts, taken together, form a beautiful proof that the Earth is not a globe.

11. As the mariners' compass points north and south at one and the same time, and a meridian is a north and south line, it follows that meridians can be no other than straight lines. But, since all meridians on a globe are semicircles, it is an incontrovertible proof that the Earth is not a globe.

12. As we have seen that there is, really no south point (or pole) but an infinity of points forming, together, a vast circumference -- the boundary of the known world, with its battlements of icebergs which bid defiance to man's onward course, in a southerly direction - so there can be no east or west "points,' just as there is no "yesterday," and no "tomorrow." In fact, as there is one point that is fixed (the North), it is impossible for any other point to be fixed likewise. East and west are, therefore, merely directions at right angles with a north and south line: and as the south point of the compass shifts round to all parts of the circular boundary, (as it may be carried round the central North) so the directions east and west, crossing this line, continued to form a circle at any latitude. A westerly circumnavigation, is going around with the North Star continually on the right hand, and an easterly circumnavigation is performed only when the reverse condition of things is maintained, the North Star being on the left hand as the journey is made. These facts, taken together, form a beautiful proof that the Earth is not a globe.

13. As the mariners' compass points north and south at one and the same time, and a meridian is a north and south line, it follows that meridians can be no other than straight lines. But, since all meridians on a globe are semicircles, it is an incontrovertible proof that the Earth is not a globe..

14. "Parallels of latitude" only - of all imaginary lines on the surface of the Earth - are circles, which increase, progressively, from the northern centre to the southern circumference. The mariner's course in the direction of any one of these concentric circles is his longitude, the degrees of which INCREASE to such an extent beyond the equator (going southwards) that hundreds of vessels have been wrecked because of the false idea created by the untruthfulness of the charts and the globular theory together, causing the sailor to be continually getting out of his reckoning. With a map of the Earth in its true form all difficulty is done away with, and ships may be conducted anywhere with perfect safety. This, then, is a very important practical proof that the Earth is not a globe.


15. The idea that, instead of sailing horizontally round the Earth, ships are taken down one side of a globe, then underneath, and are brought up on the other side to get home again, is, except as a mere dream, impossible and absurd! And, since there are neither impossibilities nor absurdities in the simple matter of circumnavigation, it stands without argument, a proof that the Earth is not a globe.

16. If the, Earth were a globe, the distance round its surface at, say, 45 "degrees" south latitude, could not possibly be any greater than it is at the same latitude north; but, since it is found by navigators to be twice the distance -- to say the least of it -- or, double the distance it ought to be according to the globular theory, it is a proof that the Earth is not a globe.

17. Human beings require a surface on which to live that, in its general character, shall be LEVEL; and since the Omniscient Creator must have been perfectly acquainted with the requirements of His creatures, it follows that, being an All-wise Creator, He has met them thoroughly. This is a theological proof that the Earth is not a globe.

18. The best possessions of man are his senses; and, when he uses them all, he will not be deceived in his survey of nature. It is only when some one faculty or other is neglected or abused that he is deluded. Every man in full command of his senses knows that a level surface is a flat or horizontal one; but astronomers tell us that the true level is the curved surface of a globe! They know that man requires a level surface on which to live, so they give him one in name which is not one in fact! Since this is the best that astronomers, with their theoretical science, can do for their fellow creatures - deceive them - it is clear that things are not as they say they are; and, in short, it is a proof that Earth is not a globe.

19. Every man in his senses goes the most reasonable way to work to do a thing. Now, astronomers (one after another - following a leader), while they are telling us that Earth is a globe, are cutting off the upper half of this suppositious globe in their books, and, in this way, forming the level surface on which they describe man as living and moving! Now, if the Earth were really a globe, this would be just the most unreasonable and suicidal mode of endeavoring to show it. So that, unless theoretical astronomers are all out of their senses together, it is, clearly, a, proof that the Earth is not a globe.

20. The common sense of man tells him - if nothing else told him - that there is an "up" and a "down" in -nature, even as regards the heavens and the earth; but the theory of modern astronomers necessitates the conclusion that there is not: therefore, 'the theory of the astronomers is opposed to common sense - yes, and to inspiration - and this is a common sense proof that the Earth is not a globe.



Wake up out your slumber

EMILO2STAY:
I am not dodging anything, you guys are the people dodging. Eclipses happen because the sun and moon are the same size as you see them, and move around similar paths in their orbit. The luminaries move not the earth, sun dial and moon dial proves it. Besides that you can even see it with your own eyes. Eclipse of the sun happens when the moon moves across the face of the sun and obscures it for a short time before moving away. As for the earth eclipse of the moon no one really knows. But it believed that a dark body known as raku by the ancient covers the face of the moon and not the shadow of the earth. The earth cannot cast a shadow on the moon that is a light. It is only a theory.

formaxy:


It is believed. I thought you did your research and science was lying?

EMILO2STAY:
yes, science is lying because the moon eclipse cannot be caused by the shadow of the earth that is a well known fact. Eclipses of the moon through out the ages have occurred more than 50 times with the sun and the moon clearly visible in the sky, so the shadow on the moon cannot be from the earth.

There have been several celestial bodies seen in the sky during an eclipse. No one knows what these thing truly are.

The ancients predicted eclipses without the help of modern technology accurately and they believed a third celestial body known as rahu causes the eclipse of the moon.

Modern science with thier pride have refused to acknowledge these celestial bodies in favour of their convoluted theories, which when put under the very scrutiny of science principles fails woefully.

formaxy:


1. Where are these photographic evidences of Lunar eclipse occurring with the moon clearly visible?
2. Where are photos of these celestial bodies that you claim are responsible for eclipses?
3. Modern science is centred around verified facts and mathematics not ancient claims which cannot be validated.
