You guys really need to pm for such discussions because they in the past here have caused ruckuses.
thus [Attention All: If religious debate comes up again here I will lock this thread. Mod.]
Wait, wasn't this thread originally in open discussion? I coulda sworn I saw it there
Alien creatures they came in contact with..
...it appeared to have shunned the astronaut.
The pictorial evidence just gets better and better.
Here is an introduction: http://wiki.tfes.org/FAQ.
The first investigation was carried out by Samuel Birley Rowbotham (1816-1884), the president of the Flat Earth Society, in the summer of 1838. He waded into the river and used a telescope held eight inches above the water to watch a boat with a five-foot mast row slowly away from him. He reported that the vessel remained constantly in his view for the full six miles to Welney bridge, whereas, had the water surface been curved with the accepted circumference of a spherical earth, the top of the mast should have been some eleven feet below his line of sight.
Rowbotham repeated his experiments several times over the years but his discoveries received little attention until, in 1870, a supporter by the name of John Hampden offered a wager that he could show, by repeating Rowbotham's experiment, that the earth was flat. The noted naturalist and qualified surveyor Alfred Russel Wallace accepted the wager. Wallace won the bet. Hampden, however, published a pamphlet alleging that Wallace had cheated and sued for his money. Several protracted court cases ensued, with the result that Hampden was imprisoned for libel, but the court also determined that Wallace had, indeed, cheated.
In 1901 Henry Yule Oldham, a geography reader at King's College, Cambridge, conducted the definitive experiment described above.
On 11 May 1904 Lady Anne Blount hired a commercial photographer to use a telephoto lens camera to take a picture from Welney of a large white sheet she had placed, touching the surface of the river, at Rowbotham's original position six miles away. The photographer, Edgar Clifton from Dallmeyer's studio, mounted his camera two feet above the water at Welney and was surprised to be able to obtain a picture of the target, which should have been invisible to him given the low mounting point of the camera.
Lady Blount published the pictures far and wide and, apart from some hypothesising concerning refraction, and dark hints of collusion between Blount and Clifton, these have not been explained.
All this stuff was debunked almost as soon as it was done; repeating it more than a century later isn't really going to go anywhere.
Take a look this Red Bull promo that clearly exaggerates a nonexistent curvature. If you take a look out the window, you can see that there is no curvature.
Here is reality.

- Where's the Curvature? A Look At The Earths Curvature From Space With A 35mm Camera Lens. Using special editing Software and techniques, we can remove the Fisheye Camera effect that is seen in 99% of all Space Agency footage. All of Nasa's earth facing Cameras are fitted with Fisheye lenses which in effect is not giving you the true viewing perspective. The footage featured here is from the Origin Shepard flight on April 2, 2016. The Fisheye Video Camera used is located in the GH2 Vent, just below the Booster’s Ring Fin. As you will see, after adjusting the Camera perspective from Fisheye to a 35mm lens, and even before the Origin leaves the ground, that the horizon is level and true all the way up in to space. You would think the Earths natural curvature would come in to view at the 85,000 feet mark, but no, the Earths curvature never comes in to view throughout the film. This raises questions especially as a Filmmaker.
NASA has never given acess to the raw data that supposedly proves earth is round.
Just like the NASA document gives an example by using a nonrotating flat stationary earth so does these examples, experiments verify our very stationary flat plane not planet earth.
You do have an explanation for the Foucault's pendulum then?
I wonder what could've been such a reason this guy's account is now closed.. Perhaps 200 proofs too much for those that wish such to be not accepted?
You do have an explanation for the Foucault's pendulum then?
Care to debunk?
the burden of proof lies on the person making the claim. I can claim the Earth is round, but at least we have evidence that the Earth is round.
I guess book citations are out of the question, even the creationist nutbars can come up with some of those...
