Thread: The world is flat... Here's some experiments you can do at home...

We know the Earth is flat because the bible tells us so. But for those of you skeptical, close-minded types that flat out refuse to accept the overwhelming Biblical evidence, I have designed some experiments you can do at home that will show you, before your very eyes, that the world is indeed flat, and not spherical as some crazy scientists proclaim. It's amazing how many people blindly believe in a spherical Earth, without ever having seen it for themselves! I intend to change that.




1) Jump!
Now, scientists claim that Earth is spherical and rotating at a speed of between 700-1000 miles per hour, depending on your latitude. This is a very high rate of speed. You can disprove this nonsense by simply jumping up as high as you can. Really, it's that simple. What happens when you jump? You come straight down to where you were. But, if the Earth were indeed spinning at such a fast speed, wouldn't you land hundreds of feet away?

If you were to stand in the flat bed of a truck going 75 mph, and jump straight up, what would happen? You wouldn't fall straight down. You would fall out of the truck. That's because trucks move, the Earth doesn't. This experiment proves the Earth is fixed in space and doesn't move.


2) Blow!
Since if the Earth is supposedly a sphere, it naturally comes to assume what would happen to people below the equator, like in Australia? Since they are underneath the sphere, wouldn't they fall off? This is where scientists come up with mumbo-jumbo like "gravity" and "centrifugal force" to explain away their theories. So, the scientists want you to think that because the earth is so much more massive than people or things, that people will naturally "stick" to the bottom of the earth because of gravity.

This can be disproved very simply. Get a balloon and inflate it as big as possible. It will be a spherical shape. Now, take a piece of paper and try to rip, tear, or cut the tiniest speck of paper possible. This paper represents a human being, much smaller in mass to the balloon, which represents the Earth. Now try and place the small piece of paper to the underside of the balloon. What happens? It falls off!

That's right. Even though the balloon is so much bigger in mass, it cannot hold the tiny paper. So if the Earth was a sphere, no one could live below the equator because they would fall off.


3) Get High!
Ok, this one you really can't do at home, but you can do it out in the world. Stand on the ground and look around you. What's the farthest you can see? Maybe it's a building, tree, or mountain. Now, find some place very close to it where you can get a much higher vantage point. (This also works if you're on a jet and about to take off.) Notice how in the higher place you can see much farther? You can see more of the world the higher you get. This shows the world is flat because the higher you go, the easier it is to see over obstacles. At the same time, it shows the world cannot be spherical. Because if the world was curved, the far distance would forever remain out of view because of the Earth's curvature. It would eternally be over the horizon.

If the Earth was a sphere, it would not matter how high you went, you would still see the same thing. Since this is not the case, the Earth is flat.


These experiments are all confirmed by creation scientists as being 100% accurate. If you're skeptical of the flat Earth, why don't you do these experiments so you can see truth with your own eyes.

April fools? The fake sarcastic? The unbelievable religious? Which one were you playing! I could not tell. Have you been taking acting classes Dave?

I think joke but still doesn't stop me from disproving them :

1)The reason why you fall off the back of a truck when you jump is the atmophere when you are sitting on the back of a truck going 75mph you feel a huge drag from the air but the truck's engine is acting against it as soon as you loose contact with the truck the drag from the air decelerates you. On earth the atmosphere is moving with the rotation so when you jump you carry on moving at the speed you were as the air is moving at that speed too.

2)The balloon's meagre gravity is overweighed by the earths huge gravity so it wins pulling the paper off the balloon downwards.

3)What works on flat land works on curved so the further you go up the better you can see over the curve to another peice of land, this will only work up to 1/4 of the way round the earth's curve, on the flat it'd work forever and you'd see the whole "world"

I'm just being a good christian and trying to save some souls =D

1)What imaginatory force would be holding air together while the earth is spinning? Are u referring to the theory of gravity, which is utter bogus or maybe some other force that isn´t proven? Air is here because God made it so and he is also responsible for having this dome of air surrounding our flat earth.

2)Typical gravitationist cop-out. Just make the objects that display gravity so big that you cannot possibly ever measure it.

No scientist has ever accurately explained why objects with mass would exert this "gravitational force." However, Intelligent Falling has an answer: objects attract other objects because of God's Will.

I know this is total but it can be measured.

ps, some people actually do believe in the flat earth theory. there's a big site and forum which is pretty lolworthy called the flat earth society

Where is this forum of enlightened and educated people. God bless them.

Mass of a balloon isn't that heavy :( size isn't mass!

Sigh, everyone KNOWS that the earth is indeed round because the Flying Spaghetti Monster made it in His own form (or at least the form of his meatball eyes).

If everyone were so touched by His Noodliness, the world would be a better place.

Ramen.

Very amusing topic. I can actually relate to this, because I was convinced of this when I was still 6 years old....
However, using your grand knowledge of the world, how would you explain the fact that one can keep traveling to the east, and eventually end up in the same place they started out?!
