No need to be dogmatic and unite your identity to either side. That shuts down one's ability to question things.
It's fun and interesting to just wonder like a kid wonders and investigate to find out more.
The thing is that I never found the globe model to be remotely credible even as a kid.
I never understood how we can be spinning 1000 miles per hour. ??
How does water stick to a ball, especially to a spinning ball?
Why can't we see the curve of the earth on the horizon?
How does water curve when it always finds level?
How can we be shooting through space and still have the same constellations year after year for thousands of years?
Wouldn't the planes flying over Australia be upside down? Why not?
Where is the firmament? Does it surround the globe? But they say space is ever expanding. So where is the firmament?
So many things don't make sense.
But if you ask questions you get laughed at and mocked and ridiculed.
That's even weirder to me! Why?
What's wrong with asking questions?
It seems like the Emperor's New Clothes in a lot of ways.
When that pilot told me I needed to be a Freemason to know the answer I was even more curious!
I mean look at all of the things we have been lied to about:
Going to the moon (they really got everyone to believe it! lol :P)
Covid shots are safe and effective
PCR tests tell you what you have
We evolved from apes
There are 75 or more "genders"
Building 7 fell due to fire
Flight 93 was absorbed into the ground
How do they get away with this stuff?
Answer: Make fun of people who ask questions.
Don't ask questions. Smart people believe what they are told. Only dumb people ask questions, right?
It goes on and on to where it's like, "So what haven't they lied about?"
As far as spinning at 1000mph goes, the best analogy I have seen is this: when you are in a car or plane, do you feel as though you are moving as fast as you actually are? Or do you feel basically motionless as long as the vehicle stays at the same speed? How about if you're on a bike or skateboard? If you stay the same speed, don't you mostly just feel the wobble of unlevel ground under your wheels +wind in your face? I think that on RE, we would really know the earth was spinning if it suddenly stopped
Water sticks to a ball the same way rocks and dust stick to other planets. We can see that other planets are definitely round. We can see that they have the same "gravity" mechanism that RE theories present for here on earth. We can see that the moon is covered with dust and rocks. Why don't they all fall down to earth? (I'm really glad they don't
)
If rocks and dust can stick, why not water? We can see the other planets rotating as well. Why aren't they constantly covered in enormous dust clouds (every one of them that rotates should be, right?)
There are a lot of photos that show a slight curve, at least in my eyes. It could be some trickery of how our vision works so I don't really take that as proof lol. Supposedly a 6' tall human can see for about 3 miles on flat ground, but over 200 miles on top of Mount Everest (assuming no clouds get in the way). If I am wrong, feel free to let me know because I actually haven't been to Mt Everest to verify
I do believe that you can see way further at great heights than you can from the ground. Your vision on the ground then must not be limited by your own eyesight, but some other mechanic. What do you think that might be?
Level vs curved is hard for me to explain lol. If you put 10 different levels, at say 100 miles apart, they would all show that they were level, despite the fact that they would be at slightly different angles when you compared them to each other. If you then held each level to the same exact angle and brought them all together, you would see how they differed, and also each level would stop showing that it was properly level. Again, rocks and dust stick to the surface of other planets. Imagine how the levels would work there. The same concept applies here. "Gravity" makes everything sit "level" with the surface of the globe no matter which side of the globe you are on. It's not up and down. Down is basically just "towards the center of the planet" and up is the opposite, no matter where you stand on said planet.
As far as the constellations changing goes, my understanding is that we are going in a big rotation every year, and that we return to about the same place we started in at the end of the year. The constellations DO change throughout the year (look up stellar parallax) but it's very slight and probably not really noticable unless you have a way to measure it. We also do see different constellations depending on the time of the year! There are some that appear only in winter, some in summer, and I believe a few that are year round depending on your location! Actually before looking into FE I had no idea that it worked that way, so it was interesting to read about :)
Planes flying to Australia aren't flying upside down for the same reason that dust and rocks on other planets aren't upside down, and water sticks to a spinning ball haha. Again, "gravity" as RE explains it, pulls towards the center of the earth. As long as the plane flies parallel to the center, it will be upright no matter where it flies. Now if you tried to turn an Aussie plane to fly at the same angle as say... A plane in Canada... I don't think it would go very well. This is because it would no longer be flying parallel to the center of the earth.
I have seen some interpretations that say the firmament is an expanse, rather than a literal, physical, fish bowl style dome. My personal best guess is just that the firmament encloses basically everything we can possibly see or reach, and that heaven is on the other side of that. Maybe I am wrong, but how do you prove that lol. The stars are supposed to be within the firmament, correct? So it must be past the stars.
Asking questions is good! Blindly trusting corrupt authority (we know it is corrupt) is bad. However, a broken clock tells the right time twice a day
You can't always assume EVERYTHING is a lie. Yes, verify what you can. That is good. If they lied about everything, it would be too obvious and nobody would play follow the leader.
The bottom line is that I believe this is actually a psyop where they want to make people who doubt the vax and 9/11 and all these other things look actually crazy. It's not crazy to believe the vax is evil. It's not crazy to believe in and obey God. But if you can prove that the earth is round (most people accept that you can. I would guess far more people doubt the vax than RE for instance) then they think you are crazy for believing it's not. They start to question the other things you believe as well, just as we question the shape of the earth due to the lies of those who are in charge.
Again, it's not bad to question things at all. You
should be doing that. So far I just can't understand why FE people are so convinced though due to the daily observations that you can make about the world. I actually think that they want us to believe FE in order to discredit conspiracy theorists. Tinfoil hats, aliens, flat earth. Most people think of those things as similar. They want people to think that Christianity is in the same vein. Why wouldn't they?
