I put a level on my front yard the other day. It was level. The earth is flat.

Why would Obama, as well as NASA scientist, make statements about achieving the ability to conquer the Van Allen Belt with manned flights when we already did that almost 50 years ago?

lol.....obama and science....

linky to not being able to escape it's grips by manned or unmanned flights????

here's the nasa link....

the van allen belt prevents the damaging effect of radioactive solar winds from REACHING earth....not sure what you're talking about

The flat earthers must just be trolling because no one can be that stupid on purpose.

Well, you have folks convinced Bigfoot is real...

Bigfoot is real. He lives in Oregon.

The chance that Bigfoot exists is infinitely more possible than the earth being flat.

It makes perfect sense that the Earth is measured slightly oblate due to the centrifugal force created by the Earths rotation and the gravitational pull of the Moon on the waters of the Earth. It is however to a very small degree in comparison to the size of the Earth and not likely to be noticed if you took a photograph of it from far away in space. Basically...the Earth is slightly oblate..but..not by much. It pretty much is still a sphere.

viewing the data that has been observed/dissected/proven during our species existence over time?????

if one has a basic understanding why tilt creates a variance in seasons in geometric terms, and axis rotation defines the constants of time light and lack thereof is altered based on a geographic position when on a sphere???

those alone should be ample enough for a lay person to kick back with a cold one and laugh at this lunacy...

which is the beauty of why measuring light to the level of accuracy we understand today, gives science the ability to define large masses relative to distance and impact of gravitational forces with a level of measurable certainty.....

it really doesn't matter what you call it as long as the axiom is constant.....hence, the atomic clock evolving from the stonehenge/sundial times.....

One only has to have spent time at sea to know the earth isn't flat. Ships coming towards you rise up out of the horizon, proving beyond doubt the earths curvature.
