Antarctica is more than ice. An entire continent once green with life covered in ice. Fun facts. There are lots of lakes under the ice with life. And it rarely snows. If it does it's almost there permanently.


It's the earth's largest desert.

I was a flat-earther until I drove from Nashville to midwest Texas and noticed the sun rises and sets an hour later even though I was still in central time zone.

I'm still a flat-earther, but I was until then, too.

When it comes to Flat Earth Discussions:

1% believe it is real

49% are just trolling for the lols

25% are bots and Epstein clients trying to distract people from discussing real issues

25% are clueless boomers who don't understand how the internet works and think that Flat Earth is a real topic because of the trolls and bots

You haven’t and you don’t.

So what do you make of what the Bible says is a firm hard bubble atop the flat earth that holds back the waters above the bubble? The bubble shaped like an upside down bowl, a vault, or a tent as hard as a cast metal mirror? Allegory? If allegory, what is it an allegory of? And why do you not think it should be interpreted literally? Take the original context into consideration that everyone in the ancient world when Genesis was written around 500BC believed in the flat earth with a firmament model of cosmology from the Egyptians to Persia, which we know from archaeology and the ancient texts of these other peoples.

Biblical cosmology is known fact. How can you reject it while claiming to be a believer?

I would like to understand why people think the earth is flat.

Because they couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were printed on the heel.

Next flat earther you meet, ask them which countries form the east and west boundaries. Then pull up Expedia Flights between airports near the respective edges, and ask why they're so short time wise.

Take a level outside and put it down on the ground.

You will see that the bubble is dead center. This proves that the earth is flat.

Guy who accuses Christians of not thinking critically can’t understand how someone can be Christian without taking Old Testament literally.

Babylon Bee should scan this board for ideas

Uh Oh, Squirrel's got a runnin' buddy.


Do you actually give credence to those same biblical "scholars" that squirrel does that nobody else has ever heard of that he uses to back up his anti-God viewpoints?

Well I’ll say this and I never hear anyone ever say this.

Has anyone but a damn small percentage of people on earth , been in orbit and look for themselves? We kinda go on the words of people who are know to lie.

Do I believe the earth is flat? I don’t know I’ve never been that high to see for myself.

But I guess other things prove it’s not flat.

A biblical fundamentalist (a “real” Christian) would argue you aren’t a real Christian if you don’t accept the Old Testament as the inerrant word of an all knowing deity. Christian is just a label. You can be Christian and believe anything you want.

What I was referring to was a believer of the Old Testament as divinely inspired inerrancy. I never said “Christian”. That’s something you inserted as a straw man argument.

No. I just find it funny what people choose to take literally from the Bible. Literal 6 day creation is just as dumb and demonstrably false as flat earth, but people choose to believe one and not the other.

Global flood happened most likely.

But someone claiming to be the son of god rising from the dead?


Nah.

Since I was a small kid I've thought people claiming the Earth was flat were just kidding around and having fun. It's only in recent years I've come to realize at least some of them are serious.
