Flat Earth
Did you know that there are millions of people that support the belief of a flat earth?There are even former NASA workers, scientists, astronomers and even the Bible that say this claim is true and possible.The people that believe this have earned the name flat earthers and they’ve even gone as far as to turn it into a movement called The Flat Earth Movement.Even though millions of people believe this, you can’t say the Earth isn’t round without evidence.Us “round earthers” have plenty of it.Although they still deny it and refuse to believe it, you can’t deny science.The change in our seasons, the existence of time zones and even satellite images from space.These have enough evidence to debunk the flat earth theory.
They can say what they want but there is proof in the changing seasons, the reason we have seasons is because the Earth’s axis tilts as it completes its orbit around the sun.Now how would that ever be possible in a flat earth scenario?.If we were on a flat Earth we would always have the same season all the time which we clearly don’t see happening.Why do we have summer and fall if we are on a flat earth.This is just scratching the surface of the reasons as to why the flat Earth theory is false.
The Earth is in that on spot of orbit where it can become warm enough to sustain life for human beings, animals, plants, and just about every living thing on the planet. The fact that the Earth also spins, providing night time for humans and other animals to sleep, or for nocturnal animals to have their own time to hunt or otherwise thrive. The argument all in all states that, everything that exists has a complex nature and design. This complex nature therefore, has a creator that can only explain these patterns and designs. Another part of the argument would be that nothing happens by chance.
Catholic Theologians opposed the support of Columbus's plan as they said and stay on their situation that the earth was flat. In the period of Aristotle, Most Westerners that they are well-educated know that it is not flat, it is spherical. Who lived in the eighth century 4 BC who in Europe has studied on a large scale and venerations in middle ages. (Washington Irving's 1828)
The arguments that many Young Earth Creationists make for their belief and against evolution are that fossils were created through the great Flood, the literal belief in Genesis, and that radiocarbon dating used in Evolution is too imprecise to prove that the Earth is older than 10,000 years.
While controversial, there is scientific and perception based proof of a flat earth. Even though the science stares us in the face, society is not receiving to its message. Logically, we would be able to see the curve of the earth if we were high enough, but the horizon is always flat.
everyone thought the earth was flat. Please when you read this paper I am quoting from authors
years, and that it was created as it is now just six thousand years ago? Creationism should
They did not want to hear my reasons because they thought the idea of a flat earth is absurd. See the thing is that we have been conditioned to react in this manner when this idea is presented to us. We are not all scientist so we just accept this information given to us. As much as we do not want to believe it, there are very powerful people who rule this world and we are just a slave in it. We are simply taught what we need to know to get through our daily lives. We live in an open prison where we are being controlled by these powerful people (Jesuits, the Vatican). The Jesuits and Vatican have been intimately involved in all things space including owning the earliest telescoped and to this day the largest owners of observatories and telescopes in the world. The society of Jesuits have been actively spreading the heliocentric theory for 500 years while trying to bury thousands of years of flat earth
...Earth rotates, however we don’t have scientific proof on how the Earth began and was created. Science cannot be used to prove everything exists. There is not way to see if God exists through science as we do with other things using the Scientific method. How do we know that God exists or if he is just imaginary like Santa or other characters of a fairy tale? How would we know if God is real just by someone saying he is. We have never seen God so why do we believe in him? Let’s say that God does not exist, who created the universe, and who then created us. Do we believe in science and say that it was the Big Bang Theory or did we all just appear with no creator? How would we know that what is written in the Bible, Koran or the Torah are all true and did happen. According to Christianity, God must remain hidden for if he is not then that will take away from faith.
During the Middle Ages the scientists along with the rest of the world believed that earth was flat. This was because of the lack of technology that would allow them to look at earth from space or even to travel to what was assumed to be the edge of the earth. It was not until later that scientists had discovered that the world was not flat, but rather round. During the Middle Ages the world being flat was common knowledge, where today it is considered a myth. The idea of a spherical earth was introduced by Greek astronomy, specifically Pythagoras. The main element that proved this new theory was Columbus and his travels. A limitation to this example is that now days the idea of the world being flat is a myth and not seen as a scientific idea so it might not be seen as natural sciences or knowledge but rather a myth in history. In the natural scienc...
The Environmentalists claim the science is settled, and that any actions taken to prove otherwise will be unfruitful. They do this to turn public attention away from the fact that much of their data is purposely taken out of context, manipulated, or made up in order to prove that Manmade Global Warming exists. In fact, there is more evidence showing that the rise in temperatures may be due to solar activity or part of the Earth’s natural climate fluctuations, than to support that it is caused by greenhouse gases generated by humans.
If in fact they believe the earth to be flat, they are choosing to be ignorant. The moon is a perfect explanation which is literally in plain sight. The Earth casts a shadow on the moon when aligned with the Sun. These create phases which appear to have a curve. While flat-earthers will contend that there is no such thing as gravity, this force unites the entire universe. It’s everything from what makes the numbers jump on a bathroom scale to the reason why planets and stars form. It uniformly pulls everyone on the surface of Earth toward our planet’s center of mass (roughly the exact center). That’s why you’ll weigh the same in Los Angeles as you will in say south east Asia. If the Earth was flat, gravity would no longer pull everyone the same way. If the flat Earth would be something like a disk, those at the edge of the disk would be pulled relatively sideways, while those at the center of the plate would be pulled straight down. The difference would change your weight enough to confuse a bathroom scale. Considering that humans have been to every landmass on Earth without celebrating sudden lightness, we can rule out a flat planet. Global conspiracies apparently prevent people from investigating these boundaries. These are things no one really thinks about, but if taken the time using good judgment, the answer is easy to
Many people dedicate their lives to spread the message about climate change being real. Even though some change in the climate is natural, many events that have happened cannot be explained away by nature. Climate change is causing damage to the world that is completely irreversible. Nasa says, “Most scientists say it 's very likely that most of the warming since the mid-1900s is due to the burning of coal, oil and gas. Burning these fuels is how we produce most of the energy that we use every day” (nasa). The energy that we use daily makes our life easier, but it hurts the earth. Why does the government still allow us to use these things? Science has shown us that sea levels are rising in many parts of the world. Warm weather is causing glaciers to melt which results in the sea level rising. Earth 's average temperature has been rising for the last century in a half; and there has also been a steady rise in ocean temperature since 1969. It is said that climate control is man made and it is dangerous. On the other side of the argument, many people do not believe that climate change is real. They argue that their has not been a big temperature change in almost two decades. They also bring up the point of there not being enough data in the climate history to draw the conclusion of what is happening in the climate now is abnormal. Scientist started to record climate change around the 1800’s which many people believe is not enough data to do a comparison. Another reason some believe that climate change is not real is because of some instances where a scientist predicts a date of a significant climate change never happens. Rinkesh writes, “ For example:- Al Gore predicted that all Arctic ice would be gone by 2013. But, on contrary Arctic ice is up by 50% since 2012” (conserve-energy-future). Many people find that these reasons are why climate change is not
Every day people who do not have research behind their claims are the ones who think it is a hoax. The average person is unable to collect enough reliable information to tell for sure what is correct or not. They listen to politicians or church groups they believe in, those groups’ people also do not know all the facts. The people who believe in global warming are those who are scientists or those who hold very powerful positions through our world. Scientists use evidence to support their argument and to show others why they should believe in it.
Earth, the world we live in today, as everyone knows and acknowledges for granted is spherical or round. However, this indisputable fact was not entirely considered the truth by many of the great philosophers and thinkers of the 16th century, who believed that the earth was flat or quadrilateral. For the majority of people, it would have taken a physical form of evidence to convert their beliefs. Therefore, this evidence was proved by the Portuguese explorer, Ferdinand Magellan.
In our sciences, it was believed that the earth was flat. However, this was indeed invalid due to the mountains, canyons and other elevated surfaces our earth provides. However, if one evened out the elevation, there would be left with flatness. The flat earth theory made it that the surface doesn't deviate from flatness at all, but that its curvature is 0 to the mile. To be sure that this flat-earth theory was indeed invalid, Greek Philosopher Aristotle obtained significant reasons that the theory was void. He first analyzed the direction of certain stars. Some stars disappear beyond the Southern Hemisphere as an individual travels north. As one travels south, the stars vanish beyond the Northern Hemisphere. Also, the earth’s shadow on the moon is in the shape of an arc of a circle during a lunar eclipse. Lastly, the earth flows downward into an inevitable center. This deterred the idea that the earth was flat. Aristotle observed that due to the movement of solid matter to a common center, the earth was undoubtedly spherical. Even after a century after Aristotle, Eratosthenes note...
