People once believed the earth was flat. Not true it was never thought by any civilisation that the earth was flat. During the early Middle Ages all scholars maintained the spherical viewpoint first expressed by the Ancient Greeks.

It was never believed the earth was flat, it may of been used by the hierarchy to keep the people in their place and instilled fear however it is a fact that no learned people ever believed the earth was flat.

Re: THE BIGGEST CON EVER....PROOF THAT THE EARTH IS FLAT NOT A BALL...
for 6000 years it has been common wisdom that the earth is flat...even Jesus who came from and went back to heaven stated that the earth has 4 cornes.
suddenly the illuminati lied to us that the earth is round like a ball. That is not true and cannot be proven.
if it was a ball the water from the oceans would have just fallen off into space.
if the earth was spinning I would know because i suffer from motion sick and can't even ride a car without vomiting my guts out.
if the earth was round and spinning at the same time it makes no sense because the planes could not land to a destination that is constantly changing position due to spinning...have you ever seen a fly land on a spinning ball???? ever....
but a fly will land on any thing that stands still.

Oy. - OP ...

I'm still interested in the development opportunities.

Are you the universal realtor for the underside plots?
 Quoting: MindShaft


i believe that the underside is like the last frontier, totally undiscovered.
it's just like the other side of the moon ...it's very rough and dark and cold.
some creatures live there but they have to get thru very deep crevasses...
have you heard how there are colonies of subhuman like creatures who "live in the deep"?? well, that's where they are.
even Jesus told us about this place...he called it Heidi or something like that,like some sort of afterlife place.... and after he died the bible says that he went to this place for 3 days....
that's where all the dead people go for the afterlife.
when Jesus was on the cross the thief next to his said: Jesus take me with you and Jesus replied : " verily verily I tell you that this day ye shall be with me in paradise'. so the same day Jesus went to this hell place and teh thief went there also.

then before that Jesus said to his apostles : go and spread this gospel to the 4 corners of the earth.
this proves beyond doubt that the earth is flat.
who knows more? Jesus or the illuminati scientists???
 Quoting: GUIDO 22980348


Because Jesus said "go to the 4 corners" thats proof? If thats what you're using as proof than you have problems. Its a saying thats it nothing more nothing less. Like the other poster said, get a weather balloon and you will see. Hell get up high enough and you see the curvature of the Earth. Whats funny though is that there is a club out there that believe this, in fact a teacher of mine back in the day was a part of this club. Their reasoning is much better than yours. But nonetheless its bull shit, the Earth is round guy get over it.

The earth is neither flat nor round but in fact an oblate spheroid, flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator.

Why is it night in Tokyo when its day in Paris, and vise versa?

If the earth was flat it would be either day or night over the entire earth.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1416114


you really that brainwashed????
it's incredible how easy propaganda works with people.
it cannot be the same daylight over the whole world because the sun raises from the east and sets in the ocean on the west coast.
the sun starts from the ground in the morning and rises up until mid day and then goes down slowly on the other side.
if you think about it, the animals know full well how the system work but not the humans.
animals are way smarter than some of the humans I know.

From the Bible!hf
Isaiah 40:22

New King James Version (NKJV)

22 It is He who sits above the circle of the earth,
And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers,
Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.


Proverbs 8:27

8:27 compass. “Compass” (Hebrew khug) is the same word as “circle” in Isaiah 40:22, as well as “compassed” in Job 26:10. All three clearly refer to the roundness of the earth, especially to the spherical nature of sea level, defining, as it were, the global shape of the earth. The Bible never teaches a flat earth, though the charge is frequently made.

circle of the earth means that the earth could very well be flat but certainly circular in shape.
just like a pizza.
that's why the top soil of the planet is called a "crust" becuase it is round in shape.

so the whole universe is also flat on teh same plane.
like if you draw a horizontal line and place all the sun and the planets along the same line.
they are all positioned in the correct order and all level

that's why we can see and observe teh horizon.
if the planets were all jumbled up "ad hoc " the universe would be very messy place.

I've yet to see any proof - yet it's indicated by the title.

I do however see both sides of this story - sure, if makes sense for the Earth to be a ball.
...It CAN make sense for the world to be flat - but relying on the bible, book of enoch, etc is not proof.

It makes most sense for the world to be round, hollow, and rotating the Sun.

But, it doesn't ALL need to make sense for it to be true.
