I caught that, too. Not a CGI image, per se, but a conglomerate view. Here is an actual photo...

Greetings. Sorry but that doesn't appear to be a pear shaped oblate spheroid to me. Note on the southern tropic on the left side the clouds spell sex, backwards. Although Nasa may claim it to be a real photo, I am not buying it. They are proven liars, most here would agree that they faked the moon landings.

Some refer to it as an oblate spheroid because it is slightly wider and the equator. It is really not perceptible to the naked eye, and pear shaped is way off, can't remember which fool said that. I wouldn't say MOST here would agree that the moon landings were faked, but it is a frightening percentage. If this is your view, this is definitely the thread for you. Welcome to Hell...

I believe the earth is flat for ten reasons. Firstly, Chicago at 90 miles away from Michigan can be be seen in it's entirety, it should be several hundred feet below the horizon.(A) References and proofs provided in alphabetical order below.
Secondly, In the artic circle the sun can be seen circling for three days without setting during equinox. This is not possible on a ball earth and does not occur in the south latitudes. B) Thirdly, Scientists claim the earth revolves at 1000 miles an hour. If this were true on a flight from LA to NY, New York would come up behing the airplane before it reached its destination. The actual flight time from New York to LA would be less than two hours as the airplane cruises at 50 miles an hour and the earth revolves at 1000 mph. The ball earth does not hold up to actual scrutiny. Any one of these proofs provided eliminate the possibility of the earth being a ball. TO BE Continued.

Neil Degrass Tyson The Nasa guy said it.

Tyler, Why does it frighten you if people believe the moon landings were faked?

Thanks for your kind welcome and response.

POLL: Guys chime in, Moon landing fake or real?

Flat-earthers are generally used as a teaching opportunity rather than seen as actual serious candidates for debate. The question of how we know the earth is spherical can present an interesting opportunity to teach some science, and the idea that the Earth is flat can be a good example for learning about denialism and how critical thinking can go wrong. But these things are only useful to people who value rationality and evidence. Flat-earthers generally fall into three camps, none of which value accuracy.

Some accept a flat Earth due to religious reasons, and that is the extent of their arguments. A debate about the Earth with these people would be a red herring. The real issue is faith and doctrine, which is a different debate entirely.

Some accept a flat Earth because of a Maverick factor. It's essentially about dissent and conspiracy mongering. These are the types who think they have overturned Newton’s laws and relativity. A debate with these people will, at best, devolve into a debate about the scientific method. You'll find they simply disagree on fundamental concepts like quality of evidence, consistent logic, and basic epistemology.

The third variety tends to be nothing more than trolls who think it's funny to get people worked up over something as stupid as the idea that the Earth is flat. Obviously a debate with people like that has no hope of being productive.

Many science communicators who take the time to debate subjects like Bigfoot and crop circles are often told they are wasting their time. It's often said that there are more important and pressing topics like medical fraud and climate change to be focused on. Despite being constantly told that, they press on because they do see a value in engaging people and promoting critical thinking, even on silly topics. But, even those people do not bother with flat-earthers. It's truly the bottom of the intellectual barrel, the very silt which remains after every other crank filter which usually catches stupid has failed. It's the place where even chemtrail truthers and homeopaths point to and laugh. If this is the place someone wants to be, let them. There is nothing you can do to get them out.

Hi heisenburg,
Consider this for a moment,

From Los Angeles to Hawaii there is a 796 mile fall on a ball earth. a 796 mile high wall of water magically curved to fit the earth according to the ball earth theory. Don't you think that a gravity strong enough to hold that amount of water to the earth would squash you like a bug on a windshield?

Less gravity...small retro rockets lowered it. WTF dude, don't you remember watching it on TV?

or did you just read about it decades later...?

Thanks for your response Tangerinegreen. Retrorockets was the ''mars landing.'' I propose that less gravity would allow for more sandy powder to be blasted out as their is less gravity holding it to the moon. Notice there is absolutely no dust on the lander's legs. Watch the video it is fascinating.

Dude, I'm sorry. We've been through ALL of this already. You are parroting things that your clearly do not understand, and you are under-educated. I do not have the strength to go through it all again, @cannabineer, tag, you're it!

Edit - If you'd like to falsify your 'facts', simply google your queries such as, "why do we know x isn't (or is) true, go to the CREDIBLE sites, and have at it. Attempting to falsify your ideas is a hallmark of the scientific method...

It goes the other way in the spring. It all evens out.

It's very simple 11th grade math, You have no answers so you reply with ''attempting to falsify your ideas.....'' BS This is the flat earth discussion site. Let's get to discussing. You have no idea of my level of education.
