Why do those who espouse a flat earth claim that water cannot cling to a "ball" earth because gravity would not allow for it, and then also say that gravity is a myth?

If you fill a balloon with helium, a substance lighter than the nitrogen, oxygen and other elements which compose the air around it, the balloon will immediately fly upwards. If you fill a balloon with hydrogen, a substance even lighter than helium, the balloon will fly upwards even faster.

If you blow a dandelion seed out of your hands, a substance just barely heavier than the air, it will float away and slowly but eventually fall to the ground. And if you drop an anvil from your hands, something much heavier than the air, it will quickly and directly fall straight to the ground.

Now, this has absolutely nothing to do with “gravity.” The fact that light things rise up and heavy things fall down is simply a natural property of weight. That is very different from “gravity.” Gravity is a hypothetical magnetic-like force possessed by large masses which Isaac Newton needed to help explain the heliocentric theory of the universe.

Now, even if gravity did exist, why would it cause both planets to orbit the Sun and people to stick to the Earth?  What sort of magic is “gravity” that it can glue people’s feet to the ball-Earth, while causing Earth itself to revolve ellipses round the Sun? How does gravity hold trillions and trillions of gallons of water to the outside of a ball earth while a child with little effort hops, skips and jumps right next to all that water on the seashore?   How do bubbles rise to the surface of water and gravity has no effect on them?  

Gravity is the blanket answer to all questions globalists cannot answer.  Yet, it is purported to cause weight, pull, push, spin, orbit, affect heavenly bodies and even cause things to act contrary to their nature. The theory of gravity, invented by a Luciferian worshiping Isaac Newton, is so full of holes, many honest scientists in the scientific community are abandoning it. One such scientist, Dr. Erik Verlinde is not an enemy of the globe, and he admits gravity is a lie.

"The unfolding story of gravity is like the emperor’s new clothes. “We’ve known for a long time gravity doesn’t exist,” Dr. Erik Verlinde says, “It’s time to yell it.”

Broadly speaking a sextant is an instrument that measures the angle between two objects that are visible. Primarily, it is used to measure the angle between a celestial body and the horizon, a process normally known as sighting the object or taking a sight. The angle measured and the time at which it was measured is then used to identify the location of the user on the grid map of the world. Thus sextants are basically navigational tools and have been successfully used by seaman and even other travelers over the years. The most common process of this is to sight the sun at noon to find the latitude of one’s location.

Measuring the angle between two objects that are visible, which is the purpose of a sextant, has nothing to do with curvature.

Let me guess: you're just making this up.

Every measurement is based on lines, line of siight, mirriors, angles, parallel, and vertical. In fact, the mirrors must be maintained or the measurement will be off. Mirrors within reflect directly, and cannot reflect curve. Notice that identification of location is charted on GRID MAP. A grid map is flat. That they can translate these lines and angles to a globe is just another step. But its an unnecessary one, unless one wants you to believe you are on a globe.

But if the earth were flat, the angle between the north star, Polaris, and the horizon, would always be the same, regardless of latitude.

Maybe your failure to grasp that fact is why you think that the earth is flat.

No, I am not making this up.  The instrument itself denies that it can, with straight lines and angles, measure something that is curved.  That stands to reason.

Why do you say that the angle between the north star, Polaris and the horizon would always be the same regardless of latitude?  Are you making that up?  Naturally, if you change distance, an angle will change.  Period.  

I assume Neil is blabbering on about a sextant, but I have no idea what his point is. A sextant certainly does not show any curvature of the earth.

It appears to me that Neil has it in his head that this all has something to do with the globe because he doesn't understand the sextant.  He thinks the mention of the word arc assumes that a portion of the earth (for his purposes, a globe) is involved with the measurement, when in fact, the arc is a degree of a circle used in relation to angles and lines to denote distance and has zero to do with a globe earth.
