[TruthInThoughtWordAndDeed]

This is an ongoing scam.

It is designed to hide the true shape of the earth, and therefore hide our Creator who designed and created the earth.

It is convenient to its perpetrators in that it allows them to steal taxpayer money while keeping the taxpayer in the dark; even approving of the theft - all in the name of “space.”

Here is the truth:

Water is flat. The earth is flat. That statement of fact can be verified with a laser at ground level. It can be verified with the unaided human eye at any high altitude.

But “NOOOOOOOOO!,” the “globe” earth worshipers say. “We have seen the curve!”

NO, you have NOT!

What you have seen has been through a “fish eye” lens. Everything appears to be curved through a fish eye lens.

Or, it has been CGI.

All illusions, nothing more.

Water in oceans and lakes does NOT curve. Water on the earth is flat wherever you observe it - with your own eyes.

If the water does NOT curve, then neither does the earth. If the earth does not curve, then there is no possibility of achieving an “orbit.” If there is no “orbit,” then all of the “space” agency “news” is propaganda.

Will you wake up and realize that you have been brainwashed? No!

A realization that you have been scammed at this level is too much for you to handle. It is so much easier to ignore it or to mockingly dismiss it - never even once objectively considering the plain statement of fact. To wit:

WATER IS FLAT.

And the question is, what’s on the other side? And how come every other thing we see in space (with our own eyes through a telescope) are spheres?

[phormer phrog phlyer]

Fly at a high enough altitude, one can see the curvature of the earth.

If the earth is flat, where is the end and what happens when one goes there?

All I need do to see that earth is round, not flat, is to look up into the night sky with my unaided eye (no fish-eye lens there) and observe the moon.

Of course this must be done in a place where there is little light pollution, which means that most low-information city dwellers will not be able to do it firsthand.

Observe the moon for a few weeks, every night, and it will be obvious to anyone that the moon is a sphere illuminated by the sun. No lenses or optical tricks are necessary.

Seriously? The flat earth question was resolved thousands of years ago.

Why is it warmer in FL than Minnesota?

Why is the sun at higher elevation closer to the equator?

Why is it dark during for the whole winter above the artic cicle?

Why do the days getting shorter the closer to Dec 23rd, then longer after Dec. 23rd?

If water is flat how come water droplets are round?

What explains the shape of a rain drop?

“WATER IS FLAT.”

This is sarcasm, right?

[Ozark Tom]

Why do you suppose that the mast of a ship can be seen at a great distance over calm seas, and the remainder of the ship lower than the mast disappears from view? If the surface were flat, one should be able to see the whole ship if one could clearly discern any part of it.

BWAHAHAHAHahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

[RinaseaofDs]

Are the moon and other planets flat too?

Really? Let's look at the words of The Venerable Bede:

"We call the earth a globe, not as if the shape of a sphere were expressed in the diversity of plains and mountains, but because, if all things are included in the outline, the earth's circumference will represent the figure of a perfect globe... For truly it is an orb placed in the centre of the universe; in its width it is like a circle, and not circular like a shield but rather like a ball, and it extends from its centre with perfect roundness on all sides."

De temporum ratione (The Reckoning of Time), 725 CE

Was an 8th Century English monk in on stealing taxpayer money, too?

Water is not flat on the grand scale - it follows the curve of the earth.

Here's a Christian source, taken from a Creationist website: perhaps you'll take it all in. The second link is the best, though the first gives a good overview.

When the surveyors came through this area nearly 200 years ago, they marked out what became the section line roads as well as the future property line markers. Because the regular division of a spherical surface into squares won't quite work, here and there the north-south roads across the countryside don't quite line up. I live fairly close to one of those corners, which four townships come together. If you root around with Google satellite view, you'll find some of these types of corners.

This won't of course have any impact on the TrollInThoughtWordAndDeed, because he's absurdly stupid and self-deluded, and looking around some more will find that the surveyors' long experience with the curvature of the Earth is attacked by people just as absurdly stupid and self-deluded as TrollInThoughtWordAndDeed.

My guess is, some of the Flat Earth a-holes got to where they were by their self-delusion and paranoia about the quite real Apollo missions to the lunar surface, you know, the jokers who deny that the Apollo landings ever took place. Flat Earth is just one more step down that very stupid road, as it denies that anyone can orbit the Earth, and therefore the Moon (which is, btw, in orbit around the Earth, semantic hobgoblins notwithstanding) is just a big flat image.

Piso Theory and False Eschatology

Both the idiots who claim there were no manned missions to the Moon, and the Flat Earthers, remind me of the mental defectives who claimed, completely seriously, that the Roman Empire never existed, that it was hoaxed. Yes, you read that right, there was once upon a time an online advocate (possibly more than one) of Piso Theory, the view that someone had hoaxed the whole Roman Empire, because it was important for people to believe that the Roman Empire used to exist. His constant line was, "I don't come to debate. I come to inform." I'm getting the same vibe from TrollInThoughtWordAndDeed.

TrollInThoughtWordAndDeed seems to think that repeating "WATER IS FLAT" is somehow factual -- which it isn't -- and represents a compelling argument for a flat Earth -- which it doesn't. It's just stupid that the moron continues to repeat something that is so obviously a LIE, while claiming that his view is the only valid form of Christianity.

The Empty Can Makes the Most Noise

I've actually enjoyed the Flat Earth stupidity in the recent past -- after one of the SpaceX launches, which carried at least one camera along to make sure the payload deployed, and the picture showed quite clearly the oblate spheroid we call Earth, the Flat Earth nitwit who'd borrowed (ahem) the video had a really convincing argument, he kept yelling, "It's FAKE! Look how FAKE!" And that was the sum of his argument -- all the evidence is contrary to what Flat Earthers claim, so the only thing they can do is tell you not to believe your own eyes and thousands of years of human experience. All Flat Earthers are just stuck on stupid, there's nothing that can be done until they get their meds adjusted, or they stroke out and die.

Some Sidebars

The Coriolis Effect

For instance, a German gun of 21-cm bore called ‘Big Bertha’ was used in 1918 to shell Paris from a distance of 122 km. Over such distances the inclusion of the Coriolis effect is at least as important as the consideration of deflection by the wind.
