Columbia Sportswear CEO Tim Boyle, who is 76 years old, recently launched a viral challenge promising to give away his $3 billion company to anyone who can prove the Earth is flat.

The campaign video invites participants to photograph a literal “edge of the Earth,” with Boyle joking that the winner receives the entire company.

A spokesperson in the video clarifies that the image must show a real physical termination point of the planet.
The stunt is part of Columbia’s marketing campaign, using humor and satire to spark global attention and online debate.

Flat earth is not new.  It's scriptural and ancient.

The earth is a globe, a snow-globe.  The land is flat.

If flat earth is a psyop, then why are we able to see things that normally should be hidden behind the curvature of the earth? 

No one can answer this question satisfactorily.

I have to wonder why a "crazy" idea like Flat Earth bothers people like "Mat183" so much.

I know, "It makes Trads look crazy". That is the BEST CASE scenario, the best answer he could give.

But even that excuse shows SERIOUS issues with him, his spiritual state, and his worldview.

Why do you CARE what Sodom and Gomorrah, Babylon, thinks of us Trad Catholics? You shouldn't care at all. Do you have ANY IDEA what these men think of Our Blessed Lord? And you seek their approval WHY?

LET GO of human respect. EMBRACE the Way of the Cross. Love God and the Truth only and above all else. Let the dead bury their dead. And come, follow Jesus.

I'm sick of the strawman "island floating in outer space" depictions of the earth.
No flat-earth believer actually believes in such a thing.
It is a classic Straw Man if ever there was one.

While we're on the topic, the "Flat Earth Society" is a complete joke as well. Their website and main picture shows the "edge of the earth" with water flowing over the edge. An absolute joke. They are not sincere or true at all -- just a monkey wrench throw in, part of the whole package of keeping people away from the truth as much as possible.

And yes, wouldn't it be great to go to the edge and see what's there? But you see, there's a problem with that. There's the Antarctic Treaty which prevents FREE and INDEPENDENT exploration of the antarctic ice wall. If you fly or sail in, you will be threatened with various military hardware. They don't want us exploring.

The government already had Operation Dominic, where they sent several missiles up to explode on the Firmament, and needless to say they couldn't get through. God put us on this earth, and that is where we will ALWAYS stay. We are creatures. We can't manipulate time, nor can we leave this realm for other places.

But as a Creationist, that doesn't bother me. Some people are so programmed with the Molecules to Man "Big Bang" model, that is the only place they are comfortable -- of course they have "baptized it" by saying God created the Big Bang. But the model was FUNDAMENTALLY created as a last-ditch effort to explain sufficiently (for most people, anyway) how the universe could come into being from nothing. 

The Big Bang cosmology is a pretty pathetic explanation with hundreds of large holes, but through "bandwagon", "authority", and insulting the competition, they manage to dazzle MOST minds into accepting it.

A created snow-globe world? Not a chance. There is no possible way to dazzle human minds into accepting that such a terrarium could just come into existence by itself.

Can we all just chip in a little bit to get a high-quality camera for Ladislaus or Matthew?

Hey, I'm not going to reject an expensive camera. But let's face it -- I would just become able to "see too far" and be even more convinced the earth is flat. Is that really what you want?

Based on your posting history, that would really, really bother you. Because you seem QUITE pathologically attached to the globe earth, for some reason.

I would like to see a model of the globe earth spinning slower as you move to the poles than at the equator.
