At what distance do you expect one to be able to see the curvature?
Always further than you can check/verify/validate friend... Coincidence?
It doesn’t really matter. All curved lenses cause barrel distortion - just not the “fun house” extreme of a fisheye.
As you can see in the screenshot above, the horizon appears concave (which i think we all - except the minority, concavers - agree is NEVER the case in reality - regardless of altitude). This is caused by barrel distortion and is due to the focal point (dead center) of the lens being pointed below the visible horizon.
Please let me know if you have any questions, or are at all interested in the greater subject.
Or perhaps trying to interpret what is being said instead of taking everything at face value
Can you give an example? I certainly interpreted what was said, and responded to what i interpreted...
I don’t know that i’m following/understanding you.
High class is believing things on tv are real?
There was a moon landing
Only on television.
No, he teleports via trees
Nothing teleports, except on tv. If you can’t keep reality straight from television/screens - turn them off and keep them off indefinitely.
is the only path to ascension
Again, i have seen no evidence that ascension in any way exists. It sounds like the vain dream of a creature that knows they are going to die, and made it up to feel better about it.
Why don't superior aliens simply conquer us
Because they are television fiction.
MAD exists on a galactic scale
What if i told you it was all (television!) fear porn propaganda and doesn’t even exist down here, let alone “beyond the sky”? I recommend the documentary dr. strangelove for more details.
which led me to doubt my dismissals of UAPs
UFO’s are real. They are built by the same and only creature in the universe that is known to build flying machines. Fictional “aliens” have been used to slander, mock, and discredit “unauthorized” people who have seen or report on such machines since their first appearances around the 40’s.
He’s (likely) technically correct.
They used front (screen) projection! Camera tricks - not cgi.
Though, as others have said - virtually no one is claiming that apollo used computers to fake their footage.
Expectation has a large influence on experience (aka placebo).
Also, people have difficulty delineating between rotation (of the sky or earth) and the spherical shape of the world. There is no reason for them to be conflated, but they almost always are. Like the world or sky couldn’t rotate if the world were some other shape than a sphere...
if you'd go towards the middle of the earth, the core, you'd have less gravity. I don't know
No one does! This is one of the obvious paradoxes of gravitation, demonstrating its falsity.
The concept of gravitation is intractable, and inherently paradoxical. It’s one of the ways you can determine it is nonsense. It is the cause of the “three body problem”, and the reason that you can’t even predict theoretically what would happen to gravitation as you approach “the core”.
The “space ladder” fiction is fun, but like all “space” writ-large, it is just silly fiction.
You don’t have to do any research, or learn anything - ever.
I think it is awfully sad to declare that “victory”, but i won’t stop you :(
Apparently they had some modified helicopter that landed on it, but it had to be done under perfect conditions, and you are asking for a disaster with repeated attempts
All true.
But ya, the fake Martian atmosphere would be impossible to fly anything.
It is impossible to fly anything anywhere that doesn’t exist. You can fly plenty of stuff on devon island ;)
Actually, this isn’t quite right.
Helicopters can (and have) landed on the top of everest, drones have also been flown there.
Space is still fake and gay though.
Or "the original tapes were destroyed" but they don't know that they are talking about the TV broadcast recordings
This is a common misunderstanding, “they” are talking about the telemetry tapes. Not videotapes/footage/photos.
That was english! I think you might want me to elaborate, not change languages.
You might want to do some research on gus grissom and his infamous picture of a lemon on a coat-hanger hung from the command module that would be his crematorium days later.
You might want to do further research on what happened to the independent contractor thomas baron and his family following a critical review of the same module. Accidents...
How do you know?
You discuss with them. “AI” can’t discuss, it can only regurgitate. It can’t read and understand, so ostensible reading comprehension issues and non-sequitur are also red flags.
Everyone is a bot until proven otherwise.
died
Yes, died in a “freak accident” for being publically skeptical that any of the garbage that had been built would actually work and NOT kill the crew.
Very well. Read the bible then! all the passages describing a flat world as believed/conceived by its authors are in there!
Many of those reference books i suggested you seek out if you were interested in learning about this, contain specific lists of passages, which could save you some time - but it is yours to spend as you like!
He spoke to a devil worshiping alien named Lam
That’s nonsense, obviously. Still, some people fall for such nonsense. Did he ever refer to lam as an alien? In any case, the sketches he drew bare no resemblance to the modern gray we know and love (invented in the early 90’s).
who gave him the code "do as thou wilt".
Classic libertine indulgence. Exactly what you’d expect from an LA sex cult dickhead like him.
He was also an MI6 agent called Agent 666
That would at least be interesting. As i said, my money is on him being an agent - but based on his locale/circles, it is unlikely he was mi6.
Just look at that dickhead. Literally.
There may well be a connection between him and ufo’s, but it doesn’t involve opening any “portals”.
My money is on him being an agent, or at the very least a useful dickhead/idiot.
There are many of them, go look them up! Don’t be lazy!
There are many lists of them in books on biblical cosmology/worldview conception too, which is why i recommended you start there. You could even search our very own c/christianity for a list, but as i said - it is better if you go earnestly looking for yourself because i could be biasing you with selective sources.
If you earnestly search and can’t find any sources/books, i’ll be happy to point you in the right direction.
Of course i could do your work for you as you ask, but you would learn less and be a less capable student for it.
The biblical/hebrew conception of the world [universe] isn’t the scope of your post?
I thought you wanted a list of the biblical passages which clearly convey the biblical conception of a flat world?
They are usually found in such books! There are a lot of them - it isn’t subtle, nor is it supposed to be.
As i said, if you earnestly look for them and can’t find them, i can help point you in the right direction.
it isn’t, but there are many books available (hundreds, if not thousands of years of them) about the biblical/hebrew conceptions of the world available which outline such things.
If you earnestly look and can’t find any, i can suggest some - but it is better that you find them yourself (i could bias you by suggesting specific sources).
wrong.
I know you want that to be the case, but there is no scholarly debate here. Everyone is in complete agreement who is competent and has studied the text. This is going back many centuries / arguably millennia.
The biblical view of the world (i.e. universe) is inherited from the hebrew view. They are one and the same.
It is a flat world set immovably/fixed on pillars covered by a firmament with vaults connecting to the waters below and above (which were opened temporarily to flood the world that time).
sauce and feel free to follow the links
You don’t seem to understand what i’m saying, This isn’t an issue of selective translation. There is no weaseling out of it. The world is described as flat in the bible many times, because the people who wrote it believed it was. There is no argument, although i understand why you would like there to be one.
Perhaps, i may check it out at some point though in general i don’t watch videos.
Assuming/calculating that the earth is spherical and the size we are taught. there is categorically no way to see any discernible curvature of the horizon from the top of any building, or commercial airplane (even if they let you in the cockpit).
The answers are :
Does The Bible Teach That The Earth is Flat?
Yes, without any doubt. All competent/knowledgable biblical scholars and historians recognize and admit this. You can read it for yourself.
Does The Catholic Church Teach That The Earth is Flat?
Not today, but many of the early church fathers (arguably including a pope or two) absolutely did. It is swept under the rug and denied by modern catholics at every opportunity, but it doesn’t change history.
To any and all with an interest in this subject (for, against, neutral), please join us on flatearthresearch to explore and exchange our perspectives on it!
Why do you think that?
If the earth were flat, then the stars would obviously look exactly the same as they currently do...
I can explain most anything, as you can - but that doesn’t make our explanations correct. Explanations without adequate validation are merely mythology.
