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.
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.
