T8: I know I haven’t attempted to debunk much of what you have posted up and have concentrated more on posting debunking videos from other people. You have given calculations etc, and I haven’t even tried to debunk that. The main reason is time. These things take time, perhaps too much time than I have.
You’re preachin’ to the choir about time,…[Read more]

Nick: Hi Mike,
Yes this might be fertile ground to plant your seeds.
Believers are a special breed and can be naive and just like children,
till the Spirit of Christ becomes their teacher and they learn to ignore the voice of strangers.
Then it’s a good thing I’m no stranger here, and have already planted many seeds on this site that have p…[Read more]

miia: Woah Mike, your son is 17 already? My youngest is 13 now.
Yeah, time really flies, huh? I’ve been very blessed to have a straight A student who doesn’t get into any of the many kinds of trouble I got into as a teenager. I pray it stays that way. I’ve been very open with him about my many mistakes, and how my biggest one was turning away fr…[Read more]

The sun-worshipping heliocentric model has everything to do with the Kingdom of God, and His right to rule over His own creation. But if you can’t even offer a reason why we can all see full moons in the daytime, how will you be able to accept the much deeper things I’m going to show you about the god of this age, and how he’s been running this…[Read more]

Next up, the Michelson-Morley experiment to test for the alleged motion of the earth. This one is intense, and will bring us right smack in the middle of Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity… which was developed as a direct answer to their experiments. I will go a little more in depth on this one, as it is a lot of priceless in…[Read more]

Nick: It would be exciting if you were telling us of the amazing work the Holy Spirit was doing through you.
Healings, deliverances, baptisms etc.
Flat earth has to be the ultimate in sidetracks.

Nick: True Science keeps developing new knowledge.
Although it’s clear you don’t even know what “science” is, may I point out that what you refer to as “true science” says we can’t see a full moon in the daytime? (Look it up for yourself.) Real science, on the other hand, demonstrates that we can.

Continuing on, in 1871, G.B. Airy set out to prove the heliocentric model by proving that the earth really was rotating. It was the first test that would actually be able to scientifically verify that the earth was in motion. The idea was to fill a telescope with water, since water slows down light, and determine from that whether it was the e…[Read more]

Nick: Same as you.
My opinion.
Really? Is it only a matter of opinion that 2+2=4? Is 3.14 as the value of pi just a matter of opinion – and any other opinion as to its value is equally valid? Hmm…

Okay, the history lesson ended with the Ptolemaic stationary earth system, which was an “accurate predictive model“, and generally accepted “until the Earth was displaced from the centre of the universe in the 16th and 17th centuries by the Copernican system and by Kepler’s laws of planetary motion“.
Copernican system, in astronomy, model of t…

And to answer your question, “Yes”, Nick. Just as “my science” would be better if Gene insisted that the value of pi was 4.5 instead of 3.14.

Nick: Hi Mike,
Is your science better than his science?
A close call I would say.
And upon what observational scientific evidence, God-given logic, or spiritual revelation do you base your conclusion of it being a “close call”?

Okay, I ended the first part of the ball earth history lesson with Eratosthenes concluding that the differences in shadows cast in different wells was due the the earth being curved. You’ll recall that the same effect has been demonstrated to occur on a flat surface, and that even Neil DeGrasse Tyson admits as much. So all in all, E…[Read more]

Gene, don’t take offense, but everything you said in that last post is DEMONSTRABLY wrong. Your calculations are demonstrably wrong. Your idea that the moon’s gravity pulls on the earth and affects the tides is demonstrably wrong. The idea that ships go over a curved horizon is demonstrably wrong. And the idea that you have ever seen an act…[Read more]

T8: The math cannot be correct and there was a thing about that in the debunk video talking about Flat Earthers fudging the numbers or innocently make incorrect calculations based on a misconception about how far you can actually see. I do not know the math and am not in a position to say whether the formula is correct or not. But it seems obvious…

T8: “…to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.”

T8, you up right now? Go take a picture of the sun. Nothing fancy or zoomed, just a simple photo or two of the sun in your part of the sky. I’m going to take a quick shot of the almost full moon in my part of the sky. Post your photo, and I’ll post mine tomorrow. It’s 10:10 in Arizona right now.

T8: In the Flat Earth, they could say our bodies are made up of particles that are being emitted by the sun lamp in the firmament.
Ah, but everybody on earth would know that the sun lamp and the firmament were created, right? And that would make all the difference in the world. What valid reason would anyone have to believe that particles acc…[Read more]

T8: I believe that men would reject God more if the Flat Earth theory were true. They could conclude that aliens could have created our existence because it is within the bounds of an intelligent species to create such a world.
Aliens? From where? 🙂
