People are baffled why world's longest flight doesn't travel in a straight line

Don’t waste your time arguing with stupid people or Flat Earthers, but I am repeating myself.

If I'm so stupid why don't you join the debate instead of hiding?

Don’t waste your time arguing with stupid people or Flat Earthers, but I am repeating myself.

EXPLAIN how my claims are nonsense on their face. Just saying it doesn't make it so.

You don’t have any idea of what you’re talking about, because none of it is anything but regurgitated flat Earth hoax garbage.

Then show me proof that the drop in the curve of the Earth is NOT what I've said it is.

You’ve been had, but you’re not bright enough to grasp that.
That's a laugh. Accepting reality instead of grasping indoctrination and I'M the one who isn't bright. AMAZING.

Just go right on repeating “your” idiocies.

You haven't disproven a single "idiocy" of mine yet.

[philman_36]

It’s one of those, everyone knows, except for philman_36 and the rest of the flat Earth nitwits.

You're a soulless, God hating reprobate who denies God's glory through His creation.

Joshua 10:13
And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.”

Genesis 1:16-20 16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. 17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. 19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

What was the Earth (created on day one) circling before the sun was made on the fourth day?

Or are you not a Christian?

[philman_36]

Ask yourself, why do you make a fool of yourself by buying into a ridiculous hoax?

All of your name calling doesn't move your position. It shows you to be lackluster in both character and mind.

You are making the assumption that it is round and spins! /s

[21twelve]

If the round earth “theory” is correct you would need to move the people about 6 miles apart (with their eye levels at 5.5 feet). And of course good luck finding a flat stretch of road. I guess one could find a beach 6 miles long and stand on the shoreline.

[philman_36]

You are making the assumption that it is round and spins! /s

No assumptions are necessary and there is none needed when it's the only thing we were ever taught from earliest childhood.

2+2=5

That's not sarcasm.

[philman_36]

And of course good luck finding a flat stretch of road.

You're kidding, right? I'm in SE Texas in the marsh plains.

Texas State Highway 73 Certified Mileage 42.019 miles

Blue line - IH 10
Red line - Texas State Highway 73

MILES of flat, straight roads.

[philman_36]

An idea of what it looks like for MILES.

McFaddin National Wildlife Refuge

[Trailerpark Badass]

Lol, the lfight is in a straight line, but it’s not flying over a map.

[philman_36]

Here is the Big Hill Strategic Oil Reserve...where the blue and red lines
split about 6 miles down the road (Hwy 73) from there.

It's flat marshland, not swamps.

[philman_36]

Once you take that first left curve on Hwy 73 after the split you can see the lights on this coker unit at Motiva from about 20 miles away on Hwy 73. It's a straight shot view visually, as you can see, despite the later turns in the road.

Motiva – Port Arthur, Texas

A “topping off” ceremony was held Wednesday, Feb. 10, at the Motiva Refinery in Port Arthur, Texas, to commemorate the placement of the 375-foot, or almost 32 story-tall, DCU2 (Delayed Coker Unit).
It is the city’s tallest structure and a major milestone in the epic expansion project that will create one of the largest refineries in the world.

20 miles = 266.75 feet hidden behind the curve...the only problem is that you can see the lights on the unit BELOW 266.75 feet.

Go there, find out. Don't take my word for it.

[philman_36]

map w/mileage (16.4 miles)

Changes the math a little, doesn't change what you see...lights BELOW the point you're not supposed to see them.

Gravity bends light.

I live in Flat Earth nirvana.
I can see for miles and miles

[philman_36]

Gravity bends light.

Got link?
Something along the lines of the Michelson-Morley experiment perhaps?

[philman_36]

Oh, wait.
This null result seriously discredited the ether theories and ultimately led to the proposal by Albert Einstein in 1905 that the speed of light is a universal constant.

Just in case you didn't go to the link.

The Michelson-Morley experiment caused Einstein to pull a rabbit out of his arse to negate the experiment and save his academic career.

It's all the same tripe no matter the source, IMO.
