____ Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 We must throw the evil object off of the edge of the earth!!!!Please tell me somebody got that reference...The Gods Must be Crazy if glass bottles of coke are evil :( Edit: Oh, and the Earth is certainly flat. Tides are the result of the earth wobbling, This moon causing them theory is complete bull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romy Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 This isn't exactly scientific proof, but neither is the earth being spherical... scientific proof :P Izzat so? Scientific proof is created when a hypothesis is backed up by an experiment that can prove this, and can be repeated by anybody wanting to do the experiment. Now the earth wasn't proved to be spherical until the first pictures of it from outer space were taken. In FE's eyes, they say the pictures+everything else is fake therefore making it only a theory :P I really hope you're just trolling here, but if you aren't: That theory has a tiny hole... If the Earth really is flat, there's no way one side of it is connected to the other (to explain through the traditional world map, someone from America couldn't fly West and land in Russia.)

obfuscator Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 And that, my liege, is how we know the earth to be banana-shaped. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainy_Day Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 If the earth were flat, how come there are different depths of everything. Sea depths, ground depths, etc. I call shinanigans! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)RIP Michaelangelopolous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea depths, ground depths, etc. I call shinanigans! its perfectly possible for something to be flat and have a rough surface. we give the spherical earth a special name for it to define every single concave and convex shape on the planet.

And with the amount of planes/ships in the sea, someone is bound to see this 'ice barrier' and tell others, then the news finds out, and reports that the world is not in fact a sphere. Thus, such a belief is silly in my eyes. Also, why would governments lie about the world's shape? What can they gain from it?

____ Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 easy enough to have a few sonar based missile systems along the ice barrier at xkm intervals. Fully automated to take out anything that comes within visual range of the barrier unless it has a "friendly" electronic tag to cause the system to hold fire.

tortilliachp Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I find one flaw with the theory: that we cannot observe that the earth is round ourselves. Everyone who has ever climbed a real mountain, looked down over a sea can see the actual curvature of the earth. I am my own witness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Askthedude Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Seriously though, explain flying from America to say China and not seeing other countries... Do the pilots fly all the way to the North Pole and back down or something? :unsure: Why can't the Big Bang be done by the hand of God?It could have, but it is next to impossible because it also could have been caused by the flying spaghetti monster, or one of the other infinite number of deity possibilities.

Nero Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Y'know, very few people actually believed the Earth was flat and that if you sailed across the ocean you would fall off. They just knew that the ocean was [bleep]ing gigantic and you'd sail out there and either starve to death or get om nom nom'd by the sea.

Actually they have a very well calculated theory of a cost effective way of watching the entire ice barrier. and both of those questions are answered in my opening post :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have known the thing was round for thousands of years. Ancient Greeks even used math to figure out how round.

ember3579 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 The first dude to do it was pretty damn close, too. Only about 160 miles off on the (I think) diameter.
