Is the Earth Flat?

Or if you took lots of acid in the '70's.

They should make a movie, or two, or three, about that.

I would watch all three.

 

[Jethro Bodine]

they did, star trek VIII first contact.

I still haven't gotten all the way through the original TV series.

 

[Jethro Bodine]

This is a great batch of popcorn.

Better start another batch. I don't think this is ending anytime soon.

[jasonc]

Sorry....no Bill Shatner, no watch.

wow, as much as I like the tos, there is a lot of good plots and books about that time frame. I read one back in September. yes they still have fan fiction, books for st:tos and all the others. its time to go into the whole picture of what is star trek.

a little trivia for the uss.enterprise ncc 1701, constitution class. if the either the saucer or engineering deck were to lose each other in battle. they could function as two ships if they are wholly intact and separated at the connection. the saucer section decks has its own main bridge and enginnering and the engineering section has the auxiliary bridge and both sections have warp and impulse drives.

that is why the ncc 1701d had the separating hull deal and both its components could do the same.

I had to stop and catch my breath 3 times on this one.

(I bet he wrote a C++ program to count total words and characters. Geek)

No, I'm afraid I'm not quite that geeky, but I'm working on it. I used Open Office Writer.

Do you think it wise that I share this with my wife?

Is she pear shaped? If so, then probably not.

If you look back at the OP, you'll see that I never said I thought the world was flat.
I just took that side so we could discuss the issue.
But I did say that we believe that Jesus is alive.
And in this thread, people haven't found that to be as interesting to talk about.
Why is that?

 

[Obadiah]

is the earth oval in shape like the moon? the moon isn't perfectly round.

The moon changes shape all the time. It all depends on where the moon mice are eating the most of the cheese.

LOL. I bet there is some gubberment study on where the mice aren't getting good nutrition from the lunar formage

 

[Obadiah]

Wouldn't surprise me a bit!

I think we need to talk about why we believe that Jesus is alive.
We need to give each other testimonies.
We need to give each other Scripture to back up our beliefs.
We need to edify each other, build up our faith, be prepared to tell the world why we believe that Jesus is alive, and why we believe that we too will live again.
I can't do it alone.
I need your help.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18;

We have;

The hope of reunion.

The hope of his reappearance.

The hope of the resurrection.

The hope of our removal.

The hope of reassurance.

Yes, Jesus is alive!

that is great, but in the internet reality of debating, not that there aren't or weren't saved geocentrists/flat earthers. most that ascribe to that stuff these days are trolls and simply are here to make trouble and thus of the enemy. we used to have a really bad one called doc for short. there wasn't a conspiracy that he didn't believe. he also hated jews.

As a youth I once read a book Know why you believe that dealt with the resurrection pragmatically. It gave evidence why it was true, and then of course the bible through its many prophecies and pre-NT miracles, in which Jesus all affirmed, made everything fall into place so that the resurrection was not an afterthought or topic to be treated in a vacuum-- it was prophesied.

The main thesis of the book basically was "what happened to his body?", and then it went on challenge each and every theory by the skeptics as to the explanation of the resurrection. It dealt with theories such as the disciples stealing the body, the authorities stealing the body, not truly dead but revived in the tomb, wrong tomb theory etc etc every possible explanation one could think of besides the resurrection. Then he went on to show the logical fallacy in each and every viewpoint. In addition, he argued against mass hallucination by hundreds of witnesses to his resurrection. And so on and so forth makes a convincing argument for the resurrection. And if one is inclined to "not believe" in the resurrection, after reading this book at best they would have to say (if brutally honest) "I don't know what happened to the body".

I think if this is what you wanted to talk about, perhaps you should have titled the thread "Why do we believe Jesus is alive" rather than "Is the Earth Flat". It seems to me like you used the title as an attention getter but it backfired on you.

 

[YosefHayim]

Well I've heard some funny theories:

- Airplane windows are rounded to make the earth look round.

- The journey too the moon was a convenient opportunity for pictures of a so-called round earth.

flat earthers believe that the north pole is in the middle, the continents surround it, and there's a giant ice wall around the outer part so no one falls over the edge.

Compare the flat earth society rendition to the UN logo

Lol, I noticed the same thing.
