Title: No scientific experiment can prove Earth moves through space
Post by: Matthew on July 31, 2018, 12:53:19 PM
Many have tried, and all have failed.

Men have devised all sorts of ingenious experiments that would demonstrate that the Earth physically moves through space, if such is the case. The experiments they designed involved lasers, mirrors, and other devices.

All such experiments shocked the authors by the results: no movement.

Then you have the Axis of Evil, which disproves the Atheist dogma that no place in the Universe is special; that all heavenly bodies and systems are randomly distributed throughout space.

But when you have the Universe itself pointing to one particular set of coordinates -- the Earth -- they just try to ignore it.
They say, "I didn't just read that." and walk away slowly, whistling, while nervously looking all around them.

What about this then, proof for an orbiting Earth DECIDED THE AUTHORITY OF THE 1616 DECREE CONDEMNING A FIXED-SUN HELIOCENTRISM AS HERESY UPON WHICH THE 1633 SENTENCE WAS BASED:

‘For their part, Galileo’s adversaries, neither before nor after him, have discovered anything that could constitute a convincing refutation of Copernican astronomy. The facts were unavoidably clear, and they soon showed the relative character of the sentence passed in 1633. This sentence was not irreformable. In 1741, in the face of optical proof of the fact that the Earth revolves round the sun, Pope Benedict XIV had the Holy Office grant an imprimatur to the first edition of the Complete Works of Galileo.’ All involved in trial had good faith…..This implicit reform of the 1633 sentence became explicit in the decrees of the Sacred Congregation of the Index which removed from the 1757 edition of the Index works favouring the heliocentric theory…. In 1820, Canon Settele lodged an appeal with Pope Pius VII (1800-1823)… In 1822 a favourable decision was given. This papal decision was to receive its practical application in 1835 with the publication of a new and updated index.' ----- Pope John Paul II commission Report; L'Osservatore Romano, November 4th, 1992.’


Based on the above PROOFS: On the 7th December 1965 in the Vatican II Council’s Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World, the text reads like so:

‘… The humble and persevering investigator of the secrets of nature is being led, as it were, by the hand of God in spite of himself, for it is God, the conserver of all things, who made them what they are. We cannot but deplore certain attitudes (not unknown among Christians) deriving from a short-sighted view of the rightful autonomy of science; they have occasioned conflict and controversy and have misled many into opposing faith and science.’ --- Gaudium et spes, # 36.


Now according to Vatican II, science - with the help of God of course - proved the Earth moves about the sun, and this in turn PROVED the popes and theologians of 1616 and 1633 were little more than ignorant TROUBLEMAKERS.

You couldn't make it up if you tried.

And relativity was invented precisely in order to explain this away.  It's nothing more than an arbitrary mathematical construct which tries to come up with an equation to explain how the earth doesn't appear to be moving when it really is.

So far, that is, as far as has been made public, the same clever experiments have not been conducted in outer space while moving relative to earth (such as on the Space Station or on the moon or anywhere else) to see if different results are obtained than those on earth. 
.
OTOH if such experiments have been conducted and the results kept quiet, what do you suppose the reason would have been for keeping them quiet?

Relativity is the secular bulwark for modernism and especially, moral decline.  Nothing is certain for modern man.  We are forbidden tradition, reality, and absolutes. We are taught semantics in order to ease the contradictions of natural law. This applies especially to Catholic dogmas.  Everything is relative: a slippery "fact" set in scientific stone.

From the flat-earth perspective, any experiment that demonstrates the folly of their fantasy is unacceptable.
It is an a priori fallacy, an argument they refuse to pursue, because their false god is untouchable to them.
Therefore, there can never be an experiment that demonstrates the earth moved, such as a seismometer.

Oh brother.  As if an earthquake moves the entire earth.  If you read Scripture you'd know it says repeatedly that the earth is stationary, has a foundation and doesn't move around as modern science says, in four different directions through space.

There are no experiments that prove the earth moves.  Showing a pendulum swinging does not prove earth moves. Only the most gullible would fall for such unsubstantiated pretense.  Instead, there are many known science experiments that prove earth is stationary.

Natural science is inferential. No one piece of info is going to prove something. Proofs are for ideal subjects like mathematics.

Since earthquakes were brought up,  after an earthquake, the stars are in a slightly different position. This suggests that earthquake is slightly affecting the earth's rotation. And this cause is local and reasonable according to our personal experiences with angular momentum.

How does a geocentrist view this? Do they say the earthquake causes the locations of the stars to change slightly? An earthquake on earth affects the distant stars in the universe? That just seems like causally backwards.

It seems even more curious to me when we're not talking about the stars, but about man-made spacecraft in the solar system. Consider the Pioneer anomaly. The Pioneer spacecraft was decelerating slightly differently than expected. (The best explanation is a small force from heat radiating from the spacecraft.) But the effect was very small, so careful measurements had to account for earthquakes, tide variations, and other earth-based events in determining the location of Pioneer. And there was a several hour delay in communications with Pioneer. So does a geocentrist say that Pioneer spacecraft changed in ways that predicted, by the delay time, events on earth? Isn't it more natural to say the these events affected earth's rotation, and so the earth-based observation of Pioneer?

I would like to see the evidence for this.  What size earthquake.  What proof.  Scientists have told us for years that we went to the moon, but it turns out they lied. Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary proofs.
This suggests that earthquake is slightly affecting the earth's rotation. And this cause is local and reasonable according to our personal experiences with angular momentum.

It is impossible for earth to have rotation since Scripture predates and trumps anything science says.  Scripture insists earth is fixed.  And the Church officially condemned the proposition that the earth moves from its foundation.

My answer is the same.  Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary proof.  NASA tried to claim they sent a car into space.  That has been proven to be a giant hoax and Elon Musk a fraud. Why should we believe them when they tell us things about "The Pioneer" spacecraft?

Not by any means has flat earth been proven false.  Globers don't have even one single proof earth is a spinning ball.  Flat earthers have all the proof to include the sciences, philosophies, Scripture, Fathers, the Church Herself as well as reason.  Every single proof for truth shows earth is not a globe.

Don't tell me -- your mother always used to say, "If you can't say something nice..."
                     (Mothers are the foundation of real culture.)
.
I'll avoid making it personal -- Flat-earthers deny the reality of earthquakes, just as they deny many objective truths.
.
After every large earthquake, verifiable measurements have shown that the earth has moved.
.
Perhaps experiencing an earthquake firsthand would convince you that the earth moves, but that's another topic.
.
The earth moves locally, by local mountains lurching upwards as much as 6 feet or more in a few seconds.
.
There is no reasonable denial of this reality.
.
It is verified by the proper use of a theodolite but we already know flat-earthers don't know how to use one.
.
And the earth moves as a whole, as proved by the change in ALL stellar coordinates after the quake.
.
But again, flat-earthers have no idea how to measure the celestial reckoning of stars, and they have no desire to learn.
.
Obviously, the coordinates of the stars cannot be accounted for during the earthquake since the ground is moving.
.
But that's another topic, again.
.
Yes, during an earthquake, the earth moves.
.
Curiously, the Bible does not deny the existence of earthquakes.
.
So the Bible says the earth moves and the Bible says the earth does not move.
.
Pope Benedict XVI would be quite proud as that fits perfectly into his hermeneutic of continuity.
.
In any case, flat-earthers do not know how to understand what the Bible says. 
.
Flat-earthers and exegetes are mutually exclusive terms.

The Roman Catholic Church condemned heliocentrism and called it "ALTOGETHER FALSE".

Scripture and Tradition are the two forms of revelation in the Church.  Neither show earth is a globe but the majority of the Fathers show Scripture taught a flat earth.  Math and science also prove the earth is incompatible with rotundity or movement or any of the other ridiculous notions spread by NASA and modern science.

If anyone thinks they have proof that Scripture or the Fathers taught earth is a globe, feel free to post the Fathers or Scripture here. Since the majority of the Fathers and Scripture DO NOT teach earth is a globe, but that it is not a globe, then the scandal to the Church belongs squarely in the laps of globe earthers because modern science does not offer even one reasonable proof that earth is a globe.  Eclipses, pendulums and grade school books do not amount to proof of anything except indoctrination.

So, that's three to zero for the Church.  Add to that proof from the sciences, and its a slam dunk.  

Scriptures     1
The Fathers  1
The Church  1

Total            3

If you're so sure of this, why not post your evidence from the Magisterium and from Scripture? As for the fathers, sure, some believed in a flat earth, but there were certainly globe earth fathers as well. 
Science definitely does not currently support flat earth. Math has nothing to do with this except as a tool for the science.
Finally, you must realize that the unambiguously pagan thought of, say, China, was flat earth. Catholics, however, are heirs to Greek thought, which the Church recognized had some elements of truth and has used a lot. Is that the pagan globe science you're condemning?

Catechisms do not even discuss the form of the earth and certainly do not teach earth is a globe.  So that concern is non existent.  Not sure what a "doctrinal manual" is, but most of these will not discuss much on the subject, either.  Church docuмents skim the subject somewhat but shine in their fullness when viewed in light of the teachings of Scripture and the Fathers.  St. John Chrysostom, St. Jerome, Methodius, Lactanctius, Severian, Cosmos, and a whole host of Fathers and saints were flat earthers as their writings prove.  Not one Father of the Church teaches earth is a globe using Scripture.  Not one.

Which is what I was saying. I haven't seen any indication the Church has a doctrine about this, any more than the Church has a doctrine about the nature of clouds, the number of chromosomes in humans, the speed of light, or the vast majority of things under the field of science.

Not one? Even if that were true, which I rather doubt, would that matter? I bet not one Father of the Church taught about DNA, and yet DNA does exist.
But if the Church doesn't teach a doctrine, it doesn't really matter if you think Scripture or some number of Fathers say it. Protestants of various flavors think the Scriptures teach all sorts of things, and they can often even point to some Church Fathers in support. That doesn't make what they think a teaching of the Church.
