I don't know if this is illegal, to make a separate post to sway people, but comments get lost in the back and forth on the Motion thread.
Recently, u/clemaneuverers made a post about kicking FE (Flat Earth) from conspiracies. As expected this went over like a ton of bricks. So let me tell you why I voted YAY:
1 Math doesn't check out. Gravity would not make sense of a flat earth. Furthermore, if one twisted the math enough to fill in the loopholes, the gaps, the, "Huh, it divides by zero," you would throw off the balance of the delicately simple equations. Physics would break down, and in the effort to prove "science," one would find themselves in the uncomfortable position of trying to bring down the basic building blocks of reality.
2 The light doesn't make sense. Sunrises in the lower hemisphere are off by up to 60 degrees in the flat earth model based on what we truly know from locals, the weather stations there, any source there for that matter.
3 The other celestial objects are spheres. (sun, moon, planets, asteroids, etc)
4 NASA is lying, but they can only contort the truth, they cannot kill it.
I too voted Yay, for these reasons and that they misuse God's word and it's a stumbling block.
bible says Earth is a non moving plane.
Perhaps we should have a discussion regarding literal or metaphorical interpretation of this idea? Found some places to start: https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Earth-Being-Fixed-And-Immovable
I've brought this up with dozens of globe believing christians before. They don't care about their own holy book. They only want to keep hating the truth and pretend they are spinning on a ball flying through space.
Dude watch Rob Skiba. He goes through countless verses back to the origional Hebrew or Greek. The Bible describes a flat unmoving earth constantly, with a solid firmament 'as a molten looking glass'. It's also clearly what Hebrew cosmology describes in extra biblical text. Where the hell does the Bible describe a spinning orbiting sphere in an infinite void? Atheists have constantly used the Bibles description of the earth to discredit God's word accord to modern science religion.
The earth takes shape like clay under a seal; its features stand out like those of a garment. -Job 38:14

I'm just now learning hebrew and greek so I'll have to get back to you. The earth is round though.
Just edited my last comment, please see
Even if that's what the book says in its latest translation, you're ignoring the fact that the Bible was written by "people" that were 3 hairs away from being baboons.
You should check out Jon Levi if you believe that's the case. He studies the mysteries of old/ancient architecture. He's not a Christian
My best guess is our ancients had phenomenal technology but it's kind of like the difference between analog and digital, if you compare their tech to ours.
If I were wrong then the pyramids wouldn't be a mystery.
ancient aliens
I am talking to people like that right now.
