Is the Earth round or flat?

What do you think?

Round... Duh

I believe the earth is a sphere, look at all this proof we have. Logic.

Side: Round... Duh

Neither, it's an oblate spheroid.

it has actually been proved for astronauts that the earth it not flat its only slightly round like a beat up apple due to all the mountains and caves.

If your on the other side of this argument, RETARD ALERT RETARD ALERT!!! Prove me wrong.

Side: Round... Duh

Those in the Democrat party would be the very ones screaming the earth was flat because during those times, the scientists believed it was flat. Democrats love touting every word from scientists as the gosple don't you know?

Flash forward to today and the same scientists who back then were sure the earth was flat, are telling us that the green house gases are caused mainly by humans and that so called climate change is the result. We should all take their word for it and gladly spend much more for electricity on their say so.

Even though not all scientists agree on the main cause of the majority of green house gases in the atmosphere, whether it be man made or naturally occuring.

The Democrat party that gets big money from environmental groups, will force feed you whatever information gets them the most campaign money.

Umm.....it was scientists, astronomers and mathematicians that figured out the Earth was round, about 2,600 years ago.

And if they DID think the Earth was flat, thousands of years ago, how does that have anything to do with modern scientists? Who built the satellites and space shuttles? Christian missionaries?

Have you ever read a history text in your life? It astonishes me sometimes as to how off-topic and plain stupid some of your remarks are.

You're implying..

1. The Democratic party is thousands of years old.

2. The same scientists who were alive hundreds to thousands of years ago are still alive today and but are now environmental scientists.

I seriously can never tell if you're just the greatest troll to ever roam the internet or if you're actually this stupid. In either case, you seriously need to give your head a shake and come to your senses. (Or whatever is left of them)

Is this a joke??? If there are seriously still some people out there who believe it's still flat? If your one of them your inferior to our historical timeline at this point and should go back to the Middle Ages 😂😂😂😂. There's fucking photo evidence plus the other planets show it being circlular. Plus when In a aircraft you can see the curvature of the earth? Lol dumb degenerates! 😂 If you still disagree with me than reply 😈

I do believe in a round earth. However, I am curious to hear your response to evidence that was brought my way.

There's fucking photo evidence plus the other planets show it being circular.

Part of the problem is that NASA, the military, and the government have faked just about all the photos we have of the earth. People who used to work at NASA have actually come out and said that the photos were faked. Because of that, to me this is just really poor evidence of a round earth

Plus when In a aircraft you can see the curvature of the earth?

This is a video from youtube showing a high altitude balloon at around 60,000 feet and it shows no curvature.

If you want to look further, you can look at this website http://testingtheglobe.com/quest2.html. Its the website I got the video from who got it from youtube.

Supporting Evidence: this (testingtheglobe.com)

Random claims that people from NASA have admitted photos were faked is hardly evidence either.

With regards to the video posted, what is the focal length of the lens used in this video. The earth is rather large so in order to see the curvature you would need quite a wide lens. There are also plenty of videos out there that show the curvature.

I scanned a little bit of FromWithin's ridiculous statement above and I wonder about his sanity. Most scientists seem to look at things the "liberal way", Climate change, the Universe, the "Big Bang", life on other planets, etc. This liberal watched Steven Hawking last night PROVE that even a large LAKE is not flat, but follows the curvature of the Earth. It's much better, I know most liberals would agree, to keep an open mind about things and not get bound up in mythology. Thinking outside the box is the thing we must do, stupidity only comes FromWithin.

It is obviously round because...

1. All the images from spacecrafts and hubble

2,so many person,carriers completed the round around earth and no one seen any edge....

3. You know its round

You really think its that hard to circumnavigate a circle without seeing an edge?

3. You know its round

Not sure what this has to do with the argument

The Earth is obviously round. The gravitational force F=GMm/(r^2) is based on the fact that the Earth is round. The effect of gravity is almost same on all of us because the difference between m and M is very high.If earth was to be flat then the mass required for this difference would make the mass of the world very high(since gravitational force for a flat object does not depend on the entire mass).Also the satellite images reveal that the Earth is round.

The Earth is flat... tell that to all the people who went to space and saw it as round with their own eyes, especially those who landed on the moon. But flat-earthers probably think that was fake too, because it disproves the Bible's "Earth is flat and a dome" BS.

It depends on the paradigm you use. If you go by the boob paradigm then Jupiter and Saturn are voluptuously round and the Earth is quite flat in comparison. But hey, on the bright side, at least we're not Mercury.

so your suggesting the earth is like a mistral to all the other planets?

Mistral is a wind reference. I'm not quite getting what you mean.

As a member of the Flat Earth Society I firmly believe that the earth is flat. Open any atlas of the world and you will observe that the images are all flat. Even geographical illustrations on the internet are show as being flat. All those authenticated accounts of ships going missing in or around the Bermuda Triangle is explained by them falling off the end of the world. I really don't understand how so many people still believe that the earth is round.

Yep, I agree, amigo.

Those "round Earthers" are all part of a giant conspiracy. The bastards.

Hm...but I wonder how they fake the visual fact that when you are on the open sea, you can only see for about 7 miles, to the horizon? They say it is because of the curvature of the Earth. And if it were indeed flat we could see a LOT further.

Hmmmm......

Si Senor, it's all done by mirrors and the refraction of light. After years of creating the illusion of a round earth the sinister scientists have perfected their methods which enable them to promote their dastardly scheme to fool us all. It's frightening, isn't it?

Are you asserting after a photo is taken of you, you (not the photo) become a flat 2D object?

if you watch the first 30 seconds of this video, you can see how they change and edit the earth to look more like a sphere. If the Earth was round then why change it?

They don't even show video, they show photo shopped pictures, NASA and politics are great if you want to be a professional actor.

Also fast forward to 4:35 if you want to see some insane paintings.

Because it says so in countless holy books and therefore are valid and tangible information that explains the general shape of our dear planet earth. Science is built upon modern ideologies making it, I say, faulty in its own ways. Whilst ancient & dusty theologism are far more superior in its truths and knowledges. The Americans may have gotten their argument right for the first time.
