Absolute proof.. can't deny.. the earth is flat

[Apple Sky]

I thought @d taylor needed a review.

It seems like in the Bible it is always a small remnant, that believes God at His word.

Example the two out of the 12 spies who were sent to explore the land.

Actually flat earth is a very poor name description for God's creation given in The Bible. I would guess that is the reason for no scripture stating the earth is flat in The Bible.

God's creation is more than just earth (land), but when God does speak of the earth (again this means only land/ground in The Bible). He uses descriptions that would be used of land that is flat, like width, breadth, circle.

So yes there are no verses stating that the land is flat, because actually it is not. As the surface of the earth/land is a plain/plane but the area below the surface goes down, maybe a good ways down, 100+ miles?

Who knows, as man has been able to only drill/dig down around 7 miles. So christian's can use the excuse that The Bible never states God created a flat earth. But there are plenty of verses stating God's creation is not the creation being professed by science.

The earth is set on foundations, the earth is stationary and does not move, the earth created by God was a one piece circular area of land (before the flood). The earth has water under it and water above the raqia.

-​

If a person was to illustrate (by a drawing or painting ) God's creation, by using the given descriptions in The Bible.

There is absolutely no way they would be able to eventually end up with an illustration of a sphere covered in water. With scatted areas of land on this water sphere, magically floating out in nothing space.

Any christian want to explain:

Explain after Jesus leaves heaven and after spending 7 years tabernacling above the earth in the clouds of heaven during the tribulation.

He returns to fight and rescue Israel, how does the whole globe earth see a Jesus appearing in the clouds above the earth. Which are just about 6-10 miles high.

“Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven,and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Couldn't say it any better if I tried, well said d taylor.

I'm embarrassed for both of you.

Science, originating (more or less) in the 17th century only confirmed it in multiple new ways,

Not forgetting Eratosthenes, one man and his stick.

Not forgetting Eratosthenes, one man and his stick.

Yes. Not sure why the laughing face, though.

Are you laughing at the ingenious simplicity of the experiment? The basic concepts of our solar system are not complicated, so its not that hard to measure them. One just needs to come with such idea, then its quick and easy.

Sticks were the original clocks.

I'm laughing at the absurdity of it.

 

[Apple Sky]

Sticks were the original clocks.

No they weren't the sun & the moon were.

 

[trophy33]

I'm laughing at the absurdity of it.

Are you able to formulate what is absurd about it?

Sure, he should have looked up

Eratosthenes. Illustration showing a portion of the globe showing a part of the African continent. The sun beams shown as two rays hitting earth at Syene and Alexandria. Angle of sun beam and the gnomons (vertical sticks) is shown at Alexandria.

Sure, he should have looked up

And...?

 

[returntosender]

I don't understand the importance of it either way.

 

[Apple Sky]

 

[Apple Sky]

And...?

And what ?

 

[trophy33]

And what ?

I do not know where you are going with this. He would look up and then what? How would he measure the Earth?

 

[Apple Sky]

I don't understand the importance of it either way.

It's important as there are billions who are being deceived by a spinning globe earth.

 

[Apple Sky]

I do not know where you are going with this. He would look up and then what? How would he measure the Earth?

If he'd looked up he would have seen this;

The Greeks before Eratosthenes had divided the circle in degrees and measured angle. He applied this knowledge with what he had discovered to measure the circumference of the Earth.

He first measured the angle of the sun's rays off the stick by dividing the length of shadow by the height of the stick. It came out to be roughly 7.2⁰.

Eratosthenes also knew that the distance between the two cities was approximately 5,000 stadia (unit of measure used in Egypt then), or about 800 kilometers (500 miles). How did he measure it? Guess what, he actually hired a man to pace it out!

How Eratosthenes measured the Earth!


He only had to look up both in in both cities and it would have saved that guy walking 500 miles.
And another thing how could Eratosthenes be in two cities at once ?

Perspective. Just like railroad tracks converging but in this case the gaps in the clouds are orders or magnitude more distant.

Or something else, depending on the weather.

Ok. So?

He only had to look up both in in both cities and it would have saved that guy walking 500 miles.

So he would look up. And then what? How would he measure the earth by looking up?

And another thing how could Eratosthenes be in two cities at once ?

Why at once? Who says he was on both places at once?
