  • Are you unable to produce a single reference to the Church teaching that the Earth is flat?  Conjecture, reasoning, and speculation aside, I'm sure you must have at least one authoritative reference you can share
    Your attempts to debunk the truth are almost amusing.  Almost.  Not only have I provided multiple references, clearly Catholic teaching, you take the time to put up one quote.  Not only was there only ONE, it didn't prove your point, but mine.  Your pertinacity in error is evident to all.

  • Thank you for confirming the fact that the Church does not and has not taught that the Earth is flat.

  • Stubborn heliocentrics defy the Church and simple logic.

    You are unable to produce a single reference to where the Church teaches the Earth is flat.  I thought this simple request of mine would be easily produced through your extensive knowledge on the topic

  • Lucky for you, someone has recently been to the "edge" and has seen where the dome meets the earth.  Cosmas of Indiocopleustes and other explorers also explain exactly what it looks like which is identical to the Encyclopedia.  So, while I haven't been there, others have and described it for us.      
    I cannot locate that video on youtube, I scrolled through all of his vids and didn't see it.  I did see 4 other videos by other youtubers and all referenced back to a woman reading that same passage, I assume those are re-uploads.  
    I would think that there are enough flat-earth/geocentrics who could donate to a go-fund-me page dedicated to raising money for an independent expedition to the end of the earth.  Such an expedition could certainly put an end to the speculation and tossing about of conspiracy theories.

  • Where has the Church taught that the earth is a sphere?

    No one is here trying to convince you the Church has, but to the contrary, several people here are attempting to represent the opposite.

  • Well it's you who keeps asking.

    In any case, whether it is a teaching is a red herring.

    The important thing is that it is scientific. We can't deny our senses without being fools.

    Thank you.  We agree then that the Church does not teach that the Earth is flat.  Good, so now we can review the science.

  • Here is an early proof used to calculate the circuмference of the Earth

  • We're not agreeing on anything in relation to the above. I just said it was a red herring.

    As for your maths, it is nothing but the imposition of spherical trigonometry on two points on our flat earth. It makes the presupposition that the earth is round and then imposes this trigonometry on it.

    But that is completely ridiculous. It is a nice mathematical abstraction, but doesn't prove the earth to be round. It presumes it.

  • "Biruni's estimate of 6,339.9 km for the Earth radius had an error of 0.0026 and was 16.8 km less than the current value of 6,356.7 km."

    His estimate is impressive in that it was made over a thousand years ago.
