The practical side of flat earth
[Attached presentation-slide:]
NOW DO YOU SEE WHY THEY ARE LYING?
Not at all. Your claims are discredited by the
non sequiturs in your presentation-slide. And whodat "
THEY"?
THE GLOBE
The foundation for Evolution,
Am I to believe that Charles Darwin's historic voyage in the
Beagle couldn't have been made over the oceans of a Flat Earth?? Or are you tacitly conceding that a Flat Earth would've forced that ship over the
Edge before Darwin could return to England and publish his theories?
the Big Bang,
Mere
theory, altho' not completely lacking in evidence. But an
omnipotent God could certainly have the primary role in a Big
Bang "created" from what was "waste and void" (Gen. 1:1--2). Don't expect to find the technical terms of (nuclear) particle-physics in the surviving writings of the ancient Hebrews.
alien seeding,
A
theory not elevated much above fantasy. It would most charitably be called "silly". Altho' it has had entertainment value, e.g., as the basis for a double episode of
Star Trek--Next Generation.
atheism,
paganism,
the occult,
Non sequitur! Paganism was plenty well developed, with many centuries of history, featuring celestial sun-chariots (Chronos & Ra?), world-supporting turtles, a huge Nordic tree & snake/dragon, all or most being layers of
flatness, some of which either supported or traversed star-studded hemispheres, centuries before the Christ walked the Earth.
THE FLAT EARTH
Described in the Bible,
validates the Bible,
Only what's confirmed by a scientific consensus in cosmology to be
literally--i.e.,
physically true would count toward "
validat[
ing] the Bible".
scientifically proven,
Nonsense: The claim of "
pro[
of]" is
wishful thinking by you and your allies. And to make them, you routinely ignore or reject
scientific observations that can be made by ordinary but
observant and intellectually
honest men.
points to God alone as Creator,
More nonsense: That's because
God is
omnipotent; He is certainly not limited to being the
Creator of a
Flat Earth. He is certainly capable of being the
Creator of a
heliocentric system featuring a
spherical Earth equipped with gravity, if that's what He wanted. Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of His
omnipotence is that He either did--or could have--created the physical rules by which the universe operates. Or do you believe, deep down, that the Catholic doctrine of Divine
omnipotence is just an exaggeration that's taught in parochial schools, along with
omniscience, to inspire or intimidate impressionable children?
