    Ban Hammer!/Re: Google Earth Proves Earth is not a Globe

    I first saw postings by that exemplary troll "tennisguy104" some time last night: 21 postings in only 3 hours of his first day on CathInfo, often condescending or rude.  Did his "Reputation: +0 / -30" set any kind of C.I. record? 

    It seemed a cinch that overnight, one of CathInfo's distaff members would submit a report to our admins, so there seemed to be no need to rush in a report of my own before midnight.  But I underestimated the speed with which someone would earn first-report honors.

    Since Matthew is out doing "guy stuff", he's being banned by a woman!  gasp!

    Is that a great example of poetic justice, or what?
     
    I do want to keep CathInfo irritations in perspective: I assume that operating the ban hammer is lower priority than whatever's not yet done on your Hurricane Harvey repair-list (but C.I. has a separate topic for news of the latter [†]
    ).

  • 1 Corinthians 14:34. Women should be silent in the Churches. But false humility says: Don't speak the truth elsewhere, even if the men fail.
    There are some here who say Flat Earth Theory gives trads a bad name. I say blatant misogyny gives trads a bad name.

  • Why are they lying to us? Go to Google Earth. View the globe at its smallest. Put the Artic on top. Swipe down one time and now the ANTarctic is on top. Swipe down again, the Artic is back on top. Now, place Africa in the center of your screen. Swipe one full swipe sideways, and swipe again. Africa does not return as it should if earth is a ball, but it takes another full swipe to bring Africa back to the center of the screen. A lie is never fully concealed but always evident for those who care to know. Earth is not a globe.
    I found this video which makes your point.

    Put the Artic on top?  What's the Artic?
    .
    Leave it to a laughable ridiculous flat-earther to accuse google earth of lying to us because the laughable ridiculous flat-earther doesn't know how to use the free feature.
    .
    No matter where you go on the google earth globe it takes more than two half-turns to go around the planet, because the image you see isn't half the planet. They're only displaying about 2/3 of the hemisphere, which you can easily see by the fact that North America takes up the entire face when it's only a portion of the globe.
    .
    If it were accurate, you would see all of Canada on the top, up to the Arctic Ocean, and you'd see half of Antarctica on the bottom. But in fact you don't even see half of South America, so the image isn't giving you the whole picture. It's FLAWED but it's a first attempt.
    .
    Maybe they'll come out with an improved version just to compensate for the shortcomings of narrow-minded viewers like yourself.

    Why would they need to come out with an "improved version" if they have all these pictures of the "globe" earth from various satellites? 
    If there was really a satellite 22K miles away filming the earth all the time it should be REALLY easy to put that footage into an interactive format.

    Okay if you think you're so smart let's see you post a photo of your "flat" earth!  :laugh1:
    .
    Anyone who thinks Google Earth is incapable of coming out with an updated version, speak now or forever hold your peace.
    .
    I have no idea why they did what they did, making the thing look like a view through a fisheye lens (notice if you will, the continents get larger when they're in the center of the circle -- oh, almost forgot, flat-earthers don't like to pay attention to details especially when they can't spin it to make their nonsense ridiculous golden-calf fantasy look more appealing somehow). But that's what's there until they get around to fixing it. 
    .
    Hey -- if enough flat-earthers get all tied up in knots like this maybe they'll put the next IMPROVED version into the fast track. So go ahead and complain! You're encouraging progress!
