With "flat earth" there are levels of complexity and half truth. You are suppose to ridicule anyone who is even willing to consider or debate it. Why? Lotsa wild theories about all kinds of things. Why is FL so singled out? The reason is, if you look into the issues raised seriously, you have to do certain things. There are biblical references argued. To argue for or against, you will have to read your bible** . You will have to brush up on your math, geometry, geography, world history, physics. You will have to question all things NASA and much of the standard model. Might actually find yourself out in the field testing lasers and balloons yourself. It never was about flat vs globe vs oblate spheroid vs hologram vs back of a turtle...someone just doesn't want you doing all that stuff.
The sphericity of the Earth was known by the 3rd century BC (Eratosthenes), so it is ridiculous to give "flat Earth" arguments any credence or consideration. There is no "half-truth" involved, just sheer ignorance. Those who cannot easily demolish the spurious "flat-Earth" arguments should be ashamed of their own lack of education.
The account from Moses dates from the end of the Bronze Age, and is not intended to be detailed astronomical or other exposition. God was not explaining the universe we know to someone who could understand it. There are hints of a rotating whole Earth in the Book of Job (7th-4th centuries BC).
Hmmm...Let me get out my bible and re read that. You make my point. "God was not explaining the universe we know to someone who could understand it." So,...it was a half truth, depending on context. My point was that it isn't about flat/globe. Someone doesn't want people asking questions and checking things out for themselves, reading the bible, science and history...old maps. What are your thoughts on NASA? Space program all legit? Big Bang? Is the science of virology bogus? Does mind control only work on other people? Are their really "bloodline families"? Frankly, anyone even debating anything contrary to the official narrative should be ashamed of their lack of education.
You are mixing a controversy salad. I will comment on NASA. The space program is legit. We went to the Moon as advertised. After that, the German influence was fired out of the organization and the visionary leadership was replaced by bureaucratic survival, leading us to dead-end programs like the Shuttle and International Space Station (and the search for extraterrestrial life). Stay tuned for the ignominious demise of the Space Launch System, as SpaceX takes the lead.
If one is going to debate, it is folly not to be fully prepared to win. Sometimes, the official narrative is correct, and one has to be able to know when that happens. Murky suspicion is just a recipe for conspicuous failure.
I question the legitimacy of NASA. Went to the moon? Yes. Faked most of what was shown to the public? Yes Any idea why all of a sudden there was a big race to get to the moon? What was suddenly so urgent that we had to go get rocks and set up seismographs? For a very long time the scientific community considered nova events to be the death of a star. Now we suspect a star may well nova many times in it's live, cyclical. It was long a mystery why we found short half-life radio active material on earths surface. Astronomers spent thousands of hours searching for the remnant's of a very near by super nova (had to be very close) to no avail. Turns out it wasn't a super nova at all. Rather, a reoccurring micro-nova...and the star doing it was way closer than we had hoped to discover. Apollo confirmed this.
I would say you are full of bunk. Look up the entry under his name in the 1959 edition of Collier's Encyclopedia. (I happen to have a copy. Read all about it, and learn to spell his name correctly.)
My bad. I've been reading so much lately I got dates confused. I'm pretty sure pythagoras is made up though. There was some weird mathematic based religion and that's all they know for sure. Pythagoras was more than likely a group of men not just 1 man.
My bad, I meant Pythagoras wasn't ever mentioned in books until the 1980s. Ertosthenis' experiment didn't prove anything though. I've never in my life seen parallel sun rays so idk how his stick shadow experiment proved anything except sun rays come in at different angles depending on your location relative to the sun's position in the sky.
Odds are if you've seen anything flat earth it's probably controlled opposition. Anything from the flat earth society is complete nonsense. Even Obama dropped the name a half dozen times in speeches over his presidency to send people down the wrong path. Why would they do that? I don't think anything should be completely discounted. After all there are zero proofs the earth is a globe either.
Please keep in mind, the "flat earth society" is a spoof organization. They exist simply to make the idea look foolish, and they have succeeded, apparently, in the minds of otherwise reasonable and conscientious GAW users. This being a research space, I would think GAW users would be able to recognize that more readily for what it is...
Anyone who actually does some real research on this subject will discover that there are questions about our world that the current globe model cannot answer.
I don't think I know anyone who has gone down that rabbit hole and come out convinced the earth was flat. They do come back much better informed in many areas, with eyes opened to layers of lies and deception and forever skeptical.
How many lies does it take before we just quit believing someone? Look at the connections between the heliocentric model and the freemasons. Did you know according to the ball model we travel around the sun at 66,600 mph? Interesting number they came up with.
And that my friend is why everything FL is ridiculed. Has NOTHING to do with the shape of the earth and EVERYTHING to do with an entire history of fraud and deception one will discover if they bother to look.

What if I told you he was never seen in text books until the 1980s. Eratosthenis that is.

Oh yeah I'm fully aware that the flat earth society is controlled opposition. Not everyone else though lol
