CreateDebate is a social debate community built around ideas, discussion and democracy.
If this is your first time checking out a debate, here are some quick tips to help get you started:
Arguments with the highest score are displayed first.
Argument replies (both in favor and in opposition) are displayed below the original argument.
To follow along, you may find it helpful to show and hide the replies displayed below each argument.
To vote for an argument, use these icons:
You have the power to cast exactly one vote (either up or down) for each argument.
Once you vote, the icon will become grayed out and the argument's score will change.
Yes, you can change your vote.
Debate scores, side scores and tag scores are automatically calculated by an algorithm that primarily takes argument scores into account.
All scores are updated in real-time.
To learn more about the CreateDebate scoring system, check out the FAQ.
When you are ready to voice your opinion, use the Add Argument button to create an argument.
If you would like to address an existing argument, use the Support and Dispute link within that argument to create a new reply.
I agree. As soon as you take into question the integrity of those highest up in NASA and Roscosmos as well as the UN itself, you begin to understand that supernatural vampiric beings reside in the centre of the North Pole and control us.
You think vampire like beings live at the north pole? That's not what you said before. You basically implied there was some kind of gateway or power source there that you could only find if you believed in it. Now what makes you think "vampire like" beings are going to let you pass instead of just feeding on your blood or bioelectricity? What is your plan to kill or befriend these creatures?
As a member of the Flat Earth Society it good to note that the recognition that the earth is flat and only appears to be round as a consequence of light contortion, similar to the aurora.
This argument was designed as a way of challenging the moonlandings hoax. If we can generate enough noise about flat earth we can poison the well of public discourse. Flat earth brings down the credibility of CreateDebate and the internet as a whole.
It doesn't go unnoticed that both debates are together on createdebate, the one following the other.
However, the link between the flatearthers and NASA, through the CIA will be exposed sooner or later, and at that point the trick will backfire and the hoax will be exposed as well as the attempt to continue the pretence today.
The truth is not a joke. The truth is important. Many of you have attempted to make a joke over this ridiculous idea, but you will not joke about it when you realise how you have been used like puppets. If someone still believes after research that flat earth is the subject of debate, they are not on good terms with reality.
Anyone arguing about it is ignorant of how they are being manipulated. I urge you all to concentrate on debates that are not frivolous and support public debate instead of subverting it.
OMG HOW STUPID ARE YOU!?!?!?!?!?!? A SPHERE IS A 3D SHAPE!!!! A SHPERE IS 3 DEMENTIONAL!!! IT IS LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR A SPHERE TO BE FLAT. DIMWIT, THATS A CIRCLE!!! YOU ARE OVERLY RETARDED. I OBVIOUSLY KNOW MORE ABOUT PHYSICS THAN YOU DO.
Oh, trust me, if you know everything ything about physics then pleasd do tell me what a flattened sphere is. I litteraly makes no sense whatsoever. What you,sir, a refreshing to is a circle. You are telling me that a circle moves around the sun???
The northern and southern hemispheres have two different sets of stars. Someone in Australia will be in darkness, while someone in N America will see the sun. There is also the fact that I have sailed around the Earth by traveling west. None of these are possible with a flat Earth.
the 'true sky' (bigger than the sky you see which is a projected illusion) meets the ground deep in Antarctica which is a ring around the Earth. The North Pole is the centre, grasp the idea?
If the earth was flat, how come we have satellites showing a spherical earth rotating to see all parts. Would we not see a flying piece of paper? If the earth is flat, explain day and night.
Explain to me, if you will, why the whole world is in on some conspiracy that the earth is spherical if it really isn't? What do they gain... every single astronaut, every single scientist from every single country, every single amateur astrologist....what do they gain from arguing that it isn't flat?
You are surfing the internet. Via satellites. Orbiting the earth. Quite literally, the fact that you are reading this is proof that the earth cannot be flat.
"But!" you say. "It could all be buried cables!"
Right now I'm writing this on an aircraft carrier in the Atlantic. No buried cables out here. Trust me, satellites are involved.
Because the fact that my ship is out to sea is unclassified, and the fact that I'm stationed on said ship is unclassified.
And I'm sorry, but if the extent of your knowledge of signal projection off of a ship is "the big thing that houses the control center", I don't consider you qualified to assert that the signal isn't bounced off of a satellite.
Don't you know they have cell towers all over the middle of the Atlantic? I mean... cell towers reach about...45 miles away and the ocean is what.....41.1 million miles so it's LITTERED with cell towers. XD I'm sorry I'm laughing too hard to keep that up.
Sorry no, I was being sarcastic. The Atlantic sea is a dead zone, you have to have a ship that has access to satellite reception, they absolutely do not have cell towers all over the Atlantic sea.
Have you ever been on a cruise? If so have you seen a cell tower that is NOT near land? Have you ever lived in a dead zone or gone through one like the desert or Alaska wilderness? I fully believe things that I experience and see with my own eyes. So if you believe that the world is flat, why is it such a conspiracy? Not just even a little one, a GLOBAL one? Why would astronauts, scientists, astronomers and the like from around the world keep up the charade?
You didn't answer any of the questions at all. That shows me that you have none. If you can't even answer why it is some MASSIVE global cover-up why in the world would I entertain the idea that it is flat when all the evidence points otherwise?
Not to mention, every ship captain and navigator that would have to steer the ship between the cell towers out to sea, not just for Navy ships but ALL ships, to keep the secret from the rest of the crew, while deploying signal interference so the sailors don't have cell signal but somehow maintaining ship's internet connection. Also, apparently, every sonar technician, ever, to include every civilian that has ever gone out to sea with a fish finder and risks detecting sonar waves that carry internet signals. How would that work? Is there a contract included in the instruction manual stating that by purchasing this product you're in on the secret, that this is lawfully binding, and if you ever breathe a word of what you know then a delta force squad will immediately rappel on top of you from a stealth helicopter and shoot you in the back of the head?
It's just too damn big a lie to keep a secret, and there would be nothing to gain by keeping it a secret. Seriously, what is the endgame here? If the world were flat, and the government were actually able to keep that a secret, why the hell would they bother? What's in it for them? Money? Cost of maintaining the lie would be astronomical, far more than any potential gains. Power? What the hell difference does a flat earth over a spherical one make over individual or governmental power? None of it makes any damn sense.
I truly try to give the benefit of the doubt to anyone who believes differently than I do. You want to believe in Zeus? Gotcha, go for it. Spaghetti Monster? No worries, go for it, I won't mock you. That the earth is 6000 years old?......ok....well there's a lot of evidence to prove otherwise but whatever...
This though.....if you can't even tell me WHY there is a big cover up, why Scientists of ALL fields would say the Earth is round when it isn't. Why ALL this evidence was concocted for so long......then you are either bat crap insane or intentionally catering to the weak minded. That deserves several snorts of derision and a healthy dose of mocking.
"Now that humanity knows quite positively that the Moon is not a piece of cheese or a playful god, the phenomena that accompany it (from its monthly cycles to lunar eclipses) are well-explained. It was quite a mystery to the ancient Greeks, though, and in their quest for knowledge, they came up with a few insightful observations that helped humanity figure out the shape of our planet."
"Aristotle (who made quite a lot of observations about the spherical nature of the Earth) noticed that during lunar eclipses (when the Earth’s orbit places it directly between the Sun and the Moon, creating a shadow in the process), the shadow on the Moon’s surface is round. This shadow is the planet's, and it’s a great clue about the spherical shape of the Earth."
