Is the Earth Round?

[Michie]

Some readers might think the answer to this question is so obvious that maybe we’re offering it as a kind of joke—but it’s no joke. A number of people seem to actually believe the earth is flat, a view that a few NBA stars have voiced in the past.1,2 Do we know the earth is round, and does it matter?

The question matters because if the Bible and science both describe a spherical earth, then those who depart from these sources of knowledge stray from reality. Fortunately, both sources offer clear descriptions of the real, round earth.

Isaiah 40:22 cites “the circle of the earth,” and Proverbs 8:27 also references the earth’s circularity. These match a ball-shaped earth.

The earth is not round.
It is more pear shaped, with the Southern hemisphere being slightly larger.

There's some ancient apocrypha which says the earth his his to dribble, and it spineth upon his finger.

Right, those in the ancient near east thought of the world as circular---------------like a plate.

Terra Convexa (Convex Earth) is the first official documentary about the shape of the Earth, revealing the details of accurate and balanced experiments conducted by a group of scientists from around the world for 7 years.

This documentary presents key experiences that allow every thinking person to draw their own, unbiased conclusions about what shape the Earth has, what its true structure is.
Flat, spherical, round, square? Everything is not as simple and unambiguous as it may seem at first glance.
A group of enthusiasts and professionals in the field of cartography, geography, geodesy and construction, using the most modern equipment and advanced technologies, joined forces in the search for the truth and came to stunning conclusions.
This film also examines the oddities of the behavior of the sun, moon and stars, carefully examines the trajectories and orbits of the movement of celestial bodies, which, as it turned out, do not correspond at all to the reality we are familiar with.
The effect of the curvature of the surface, which occurs in photo and video images obtained from high altitude using atmospheric probes, is analyzed.
The sizes and shapes of existing continents have been revised within the framework of the new Convex Earth theory.
A serious assumption has been made about the existence of a new continent, which the researchers called the "Great North". The authors of the film give clear and convincing explanations about how such bold assumptions were made.
At the end of the film, experts from official science summarize the experiments carried out and give an authoritative conclusion regarding the tests carried out.
Terra Convexa provides answers to many questions that we unconsciously ask ourselves, observing numerous oddities, phenomena and phenomena that are often recorded on water, on earth, in the atmosphere, in near space.

A serious assumption has been made about the existence of a new continent, which the researchers called the "Great North".

Well that’s stupid. You can’t just assume something is true.

 

[Russian Bear]

Well that’s stupid. You can’t just assume something is true.

It's your choice. I have different views on this.

 

[tharkun73]

Well, that was an hour and half of my life I'll never get back.

Thank you Russian Bear, I reckon @Phil G should watch this video.
You will find their results towards the end of their video @32 min.

Flat Earthers have been around for thousands of years, though fewer exist today thanks to science. But why do some still believe the Earth is flat? In this video, we’ll explore the origins of the flat Earth conspiracy and why it resonates with some people. Spoiler: The Earth is round! Centuries ago, before global exploration and scientific advancements, people thought the Earth was flat based on what they could see. Limited knowledge led to ancient perspectives of a flat world. While modern science disproves this, some still hold onto the belief, influenced by how the horizon looks flat or how the Earth doesn't seem to move, which is due to gravity. In today’s world, there's also a rise in conspiracy theories and distrust in authority. Social media amplifies these fringe beliefs, offering community and identity to those who reject scientific consensus. This isn't the most dangerous belief, but the underlying skepticism it promotes can be problematic, especially when it comes to issues like climate change, where we need trust in scientific evidence to solve global challenges.

Ha! Climate change ??? Another big scam that Governments like to push on us.

But getting back on topic, I reckon scientific advancements in space travel has gone backwards not forward & as for the shape of the earth they have it all wrong.

Yeah you keep saying that but have no proof. All you do is post flat earther videos that are easily proven false. I can post more…

In basically all your beliefs there is this "governments vs us". Vaccination, climate change, covid, globe, the universe, evolution etc.

Do you understand what a government is and how elections work? How political parties are created and voted for? How democratic countries function? Do you understand why are you allowed to talk all the nonsense without the "all-powerful conspiratorial government" being able to stop you?

Never voted not even in the UK.

Sure I do, they're just sussing the likes of you and me out.
