    Why do I get the feeling the flat earth people wouldn't believe the Earth was a sphere even if an angel or Jesus somehow gave them a view of the planet from space and went around it.
    If it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!

      They wouldn't need that. Just someone to take them up in a rocket. But then when they came back and believed, everyone else would claim they were brainwashed by NASA.

        Well, powerful entities can't have been brainwashed by NASA! But then the other loonies would just claim it was an EVIL powerful entity.

          They did another experiment that proved the earth was round:
          =======
          But at the very end of Behind the Curve, Campanella comes up with a similar experiment, this time involving a light instead of a laser. With two holes cut into styrofoam sheets at the same height, Campanella hopes to demonstrate that a light shone through the first hole will appear on a camera behind the second hole, indicating that a light, set at the same height as the holes, travelled straight across the surface of the Flat Earth. But if the light needs to be raised to a different height than the holes, it would indicate a curvature, invalidating the Flat Earth.



          Campanella watches when the light is activated at the same height as the holes, but the light can't be seen on the camera screen. "Lift up your light, way above your head," Campanella says. With the compensation made for the curvature of the Earth, the light immediately appears on the camera. "Interesting," Campanella says. "That's interesting." The documentary ends.

            How do those fools explain time zones? If the Earth was flat, the whole surface would be light or dark!

              Haven't you ever seen the light travel across the glass screen when you're making copies?

                    They believe it works more like a spotlight.



                    But how do they explain the fact that if the Earth was flat you should still be able to see the Sun when it is on the other side of the world? How does the sun set on a flat earth?

                      There's a guy I work with who thinks the earth is flat because of the Bible verse about the pillars of the earth. Nice enough guy. He's just wrong on this one.

                        I don't know anybody who thinks the earth is flat. You are SO blessed!

                            It was mind control or a hallucination or a clever hoax done with video projections and the like.

                              Seems like if they really wanted to know they would try to sail around Antarctica. The distance around it would be a lot greater on a flat earth than on a globe. And you could also reach Antarctica by sailing straight west from California according to their map:



                              But nothing will convince them. they will always come up with some explanation.

                                I only know one. Also, one of my bosses thinks the moon landing was a hoax, if that counts.
