Another observation. I used to race sailing boats in Southern California waters. Catalina Island is approximately thirty miles offshore, and San Clemente Island another thirty or so miles further south. Due to the curvature of the Earth, you can not see the lights of Los Angeles until about 20 miles offshore. From Pyramid Cove on San Clemente Island you can not see the lights of Los Angeles at all.

The lights appear smaller the further away you get from them, until you can't see them anymore.

Because I used to race a very fast boat, not long after the start of the race I would only see the masts of the boats behind me. The curvature of the earth causes the trailing boats to appear lower than the horizon, so that only their mast would show above it. Same occurrence at night, first the bow/stern light would disappear below the horizon, then the masthead light.

I enjoy looking at the night sky. In my experience, there is a local mountain, Mt. Pinos, that at 8800' elevation and in combination with expanse of the Pacific Ocean and the curvature of the Earth, affords me the opportunity to view into the center of our galaxy. It is only because of the elevation and curvature of the Earth that allows this observation from my location.

Where is your proof there is curvature to the earth.

How would you explain the movement of Earth's shadow on the Moon during a lunar eclipse?

I haven't read the whole thread so I don't know if anyone said this before, but if the earth was flat then I don't understand how it can be night at different times for the different parts of the world. It seems to me that if the earth was flat it would always be night at the same time all over the world.

[6] And said to him: If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down, for it is written: That he hath given his angels charge over thee, and in their hands shall they bear thee up, lest perhaps thou dash thy foot against a stone. [7] Jesus said to him: It is written again: Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. [8] Again the devil took him up into a very high mountain, and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them, [9] And said to him: All these will I give thee, if falling down thou wilt adore me. [10] Then Jesus saith to him: Begone, Satan: for it is written, The Lord thy God shalt thou adore, and him only shalt thou serve.

Maybe the devil had to take Jesus up to a very high mountain to show him the kingdoms' of the world because the world is flat.

First let me say I believe that the geocentric model is how God designed the Universe.

Now for those on this forum that are spreading this idiotic notion that the Earth is flat, what is your motive? Are you trying to embarrass those of us who belive that geocentrism is correct? Are you doing it to discredit traditional Catholics and Catholism? To be charitable, I think that the real reason is because either your brain lacks the ability to reason or you are just plain gullible.

I will give just one example to PROVE you are wrong:

Take a road trip to the state of Colorado. Start your journey from the east, at the Kansas border on I 70. This is an extremely flat part of the country. From there drive west. When you get to the town of Flagler, Colorado you will notice that the top (summit) of a mountain called Pikes Peak comes into view and that the base is obscured by the Earths curvature. As you continue driving west you will see more and more of the mountain, from TOP to BOTTOM. About 20 years ago I observed this phenomenon with my own two eyes.

Now, until you do this little experiment, please refrain from posting your nonsense on the internet.

Precisely this. A flat earth could not revolve around the sun, which means variations in time could not be possible.

Don't you mean the sun around the Earth (at least in principle) dear?

Also, as far as the night/day cycle goes, FlatEarthers I believe propose a "directional lamp" model for the Sun, for which it is able to light only parts of the World at a time.

PS: I see a good dose of mockery and prideful ignorance on this thread, reminiscent of how the "orthodox" cosmologists/astronomers treat Geocentrists: instead of actually reading up on their hypothesis/theories they simply dismiss it wholesale and resort to hypersimplicistic counter arguments and mockery.

I believe Flat Earth to be a sham, and possibly a schemed hoax by nefarious agents. Yet that doesn't meant I will mimic mainstreamers in their errors.

It only takes the amount of time it took to know that 911 was a fαℓѕє fℓαg. Take the time to watch this video.

Flat Earth is provably not a sham. Please take the time to inform yourself. This video is a great start:

You will quickly see that your perception about the boat is mistaken. Please watch this video...

I've seen zoom lenses show Catalina in its entirety from the California shore, something impossible if the earth is a globe. It doesn't take much time to get the information. Here's the link:

This entire thread is chaff. It is posted on Cathinfo by a mole, to later use as evidence that Cathinfo is inhabited by "conspiracy nuts".

Chaff - radar-reflective aluminum foil strips ejected from aircraft by the ton with the intent of deceiving and defeating ground to air missles and radar.

All I want to know is the truth. Do you have any evidence from Nasa, the Government and or Military sources that have proven the curvature of the earth?

It takes so little time to get to the truth of this. Watch this video so you can know...
