This video covers finding south AS WELL as finding north, using the Southern Cross.

If indeed there is a "south pole", how can that one point or pole be demonstrated with a compass? The needle arrow points north only. The the opposite side of the needle, when turning around the north, draws a circle in the outer regions showing there is only one pole--north. The southern region is as scripture describes, "encompassed", as in a "circle" of land within the great deep. The outer regions have not yet been fully circuмnavigated, but the compass and scripture agree that earth is not a globe.

You have never used a compass, have you? Because if you had learned how to find your bearing direction using a compass, you would not be saying these things.

The video above shows how to find south with a celestial guide (instead of a compass) and how knowing where south is can tell you also where north is. This is not rocket science.

The stars are better than a magnetic compass for the latter tells you magnetic north (or south) which is MOVING and not constant, but the stars are much more reliable because their alignment does not change like earth's magnetic field does.

Actually, I agree with the fact that there is a directional south. But the compass still does not work on a globe, and will only point to true south in very limited circuмstances because the back end of a compass draws a circle as one goes around the north. This is simply a fact regarding the compass. But none of this is inconsistent with a flat earth. A compass, held flat at the equator can never point to the north pole on a globe because the needle will be perpendicular to north while one holds it standing on any side of the ball, proving that earth is not a globe.

So you think the needle has to point at the north pole?

No, the needle of a compass points which way the traveler has to GO to be traveling north.

At the equator, a compass on the surface of the earth points to the north star. And as one travels north, the star rises in the sky, because the course taken is curved, on the curved surface of a spherical planet. Very simple.

.....That is, unless you have a curiously obtuse agenda, which compels you to say that a compass doesn't work.

You have to be joking. Are you really so retarded as to think that disproves the flat earth? After all you have been following on it? Have you even read the responses? Have you fully watched the video on the stars?

For people of good will confused by Neils dishonest statements: The North star rises as you go further north, because the angle gets wider. You are getting closer to going "under" it.

The video again.

Please. A compass works within the magnetic fields of EARTH. The north "pole" to be exact. Necessarily, were anyone to locate the north pole with a compass, they would have to be on the same level as the north pole, or the compass wouldn't work, since the compass necessarily must be held level. Held level at the equator on a globe, a compass leaves a perpendicular line that points out in space, not to the pole.
