^^^ strawman argument claiming perspective is curvature, yet he says I'm the shill?




I'm sorry how does perspective hide something? The water is flat, isn't it? ''water always finds its level'' and yet for some reason we cannot see the bottom of the traffic lights? Nice image btw, how do we know the ground was flat there?

Is there a calculator to show how much it's hidden on a flat earth then? Thanks to ''perspective'' ?

Materialism is false.

Philosophy can be great but far from a good ''science'' to find the ''truth''. That's your problem, you base most of your beliefs on philosophical arguments.

The falseness of materialism is not just a philosophical argument it is the most logical interpretation of multiple and repeated scientific experiments.

Modern science provides powerful evidence against the materialist worldview. This summary of recent scientific studies highlights this and is worth watching if you were not aware of this.

Quantum Physics Debunks Materialism
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4C5pq7W5yRM

Materialist cling to false notions of an independent physical reality. They do this because once you realizes that materialism is false a theistic view of world logically follows.

You should use objective observations to make your reality, not some philosophical ramblings.

As for materialism, you have heard of E=mc2, haven't you?  So stop clinging to your 19th-century definition of materialism. The rest of the world moved on, it is time you do that as well.

Actually, the Bible is the most printed, sold, and distributed book out there. Why have you moved on, away from the truth?

Cool

You should work on your epistemology.  Being popular does not make it true.

You have no tools to discover what is true or false. You are like a blind and deaf newborn.  That is your problem.

Unfortunately for you, you don't even know why you are deluded.


The fact that people read and distribute books isn't the important part. The important part is twofold:
1. The rate;
2. The results with people.

God is expanding the bible at a fabulous rate beyond the natural rate. People are helping with this expansion by being touched by god to be part of it.

Science books in the dust.

Cool

That still doesn't mean anything lmao. That's not a way to discover what's real and what's not. Just because the harry potter book was sold more than ''insert other book'' doesn't mean harry potter is real.

It's clear how you do your research. You watch some random youtube videos, believe what they say and surprise, turns out your wrong as always. Paid shill. It's clear some group is paying you to spread these lies, why else would you keep posting in this forum?
The error in viewer height you make when claiming 10m is just as great as the error I made cocksucker.


Alex Sovu of Black Arrow used cry I was shill while he defrauded me of my money and my bitcoin miner years ago. BA is named after the UK space program of the same name and the miner is named after the satellite they claimed to launch. I created this BCT account to complain about my order in the BA thread, after realizing what the fraud was based on (flat earth) I created this thread.

I never got my money refunded, I never got my miner delivered and I didn't mine half million dollars USD worth of coins. I'm literally fucking penniless since the GPU mining market crashed, nobody is paying me, I'm the one one being defrauded you fucking cunt! I'm literally the opposite of being paid!

Funny how this fucking shithead hasn't said a word about the video or comments I posted just before it:

What happens when the the scientific method is applied to the theory or so-called "modern science" that the earth is a globe?



PhD's Test Confirms No Curvature to the Earth -- https://youtu.be/Bn4BcIE3KME

It's also funny how he and all the other shills never address the horizon consistently rising to eye level, you would be looking downhill on a globe but somehow magically it's inverted into a hill of water/land rising up in front of the observer.

Yeah great video, did they ever stop to think on why the traffic lights are hidden to begin with? If the earth was flat, the whole traffic light should be visible, lmao, thank you for proving the earth is not flat?

On a globe the horizon is 3 miles away, here are two buoys 5 & 5.2 miles away fully visible with the horizon off in the distance behind them.



FLAT EARTH zoom tests: Nikon COOLPIX P1000 vs. Canon Powershot SX60 HS -- https://youtu.be/isQpQQ9Iz4Y




See how you are a fucking dumbass and a shill?? The horizon is 3 miles away if the observer is standing on the ground and has an average height.

The formula is d = 3.57 x square root of h

https://youtu.be/isQpQQ9Iz4Y?t=86

You can clearly see he is above people there, probably around 10 meters, so the horizon is not 3miles away, genius. It would be around 6miles +

It's now proven that you are a shill and a dishonest liar.



Reviewing the video from the start it seems he filmed from the pier about 18 feet above sea level. I've clearly made a mistake in calculating the distance to the horizon based on standing on the beach. This doesn't doesn't make me a liar or a paid shill, I skipped past the beginning of the video and assumed he was filming from the beach. I've made a mistake, and I admit I've made an error due to an assumption here. I post a lot of material and I'm bound to make a mistake once and a while.

Now if you want to throw around accusation of being dishonest well, you're claiming the camera is at 30 feet? I say 18 feet based on the above image.

The following is the meatbunk curve calculations.

At least I'm man enough to admit when I've made a mistake, I've called out your bullshit and proved you wrong many times and you've never owned up to it, you just keep doubling down.

BTW what ever happened to the horizon dropping down, it looks to me like it rises to eye level? Also the horizon is clearly more than 5.6 miles away.

True, but sometimes you need to ban ideologies (communism, socialism, Nazism, fascism, religion) that cause multi-generational societal harm.

Slavery is a bad idea.  So is the Bible.

It does not matter how many times you raped, if you only raped once, you are a rapist.

I am sure the majority of Christians and people from several religious doctrines are against slavery and rape.

Yes, most christians are sensible people but they have to ignore big chunks of story in the bible. The bible talks about slavery and rape, even allows it, the bible even allows murder. They have to come up with excuses because they know the bible is wrong so they say things like: ''Oh but that's the old testament'' ''it doesn't count''

You almost sound like you haven't heard about what American soldiers do around the world all the time. Or about all the court cases that promote all kinds of things. Or about all the laws in the States; like the ones in all the States that talk about marrying age for boys and girls: https://family.findlaw.com/marriage/state-by-state-marriage-age-of-consent-laws.html. And this stuff is going on today, in the USA. Not way back whenever, when the circumstances and customs of society were way different.

You talk so silly. The general structure of the O.T. was for the best benefit of the people of that day. But they show what is best at the same time. You simply take it all out of context so that you don't have to understand.

You can't receive the best benefit when you leave God out of the equation, or out of your life.

Cool

''You talk so silly. The general structure of the O.T. was for the best benefit of the people of that day'' Tell that to the slaves and people murdered for picking up sticks on the sabbath lol. I'm sure they would disagree with you.

Actually, they wouldn't. Why? Because the O.T. teaching made life easier on them.

Cool

Someone that is dead cannot have a better life, badecker, study some biology. People murdered definitely did not have an easier life, they had an easier death in any case.

That's why the Bible says, "Thou shalt not kill." The word "kill" really means "murder" in modern English. "Kill" is from the old English. So, why are you attempting to act so ignorantly?

Cool

It also says god ordered people to kill other people because they were doing things on the sabbath, why are you attempting to ignore this?

^^^ The interesting thing about this is, the only reason why religious and science knowledge is as widespread as it is, is from the printing press. If we never had the printing press, the Bible would still be the great book of authority. It simply wouldn't have spread as far as it has by now. Remember, we have found 25,000 ancient copies or parts of copies of the handwritten New Testament from the early A.D. times. No other book is even close. Is it Aristotle writings that are around 900? Plato only has 4 or 5 early copies.

Here is an interesting thought. Why would God allow the printing press to come into existence to spread the Bible around the world? After all, the Bible is by far the most spread-around-the-world book even today. Here might be the reason, Matthew 24:22:
Quote
If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.

In other words, God let the printing press come into being so that the Bible would be spread faster. This is bringing the Bible to every corner of the world. We are nearing the completion of one of the last signs that shows that the end is near, that Jesus will return. Matthew 24:14:
Quote
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

If we had no printing press, it would have taken so long for the Bible to be spread around the world, that people would finally fail in faith altogether. God shortened the time by letting the printing press be developed. Soon the whole world will have had the opportunity to find faith in God through the Bible. Then the end will come, Jesus will return. Could be any day, now. But will probably be withing the next 150 years for sure.

Cool

Because it was totally necessary to waste thousands of years just to eventually allow people to invent the printing press. Your logic is horrible bro. Was there really no better way for god to spread some proof of his existence? Wasting thousands of years was the best he could do? Pathetic.

Seeing how easy it has been for us to create virtual worlds, give the characters in these worlds jobs and tasks... what happens when those characters become aware of us, without the need for us to program it in there? We're creating more and more virtual simulations for entertainment and work, while physical things become more electronic based. All of our entertainment has been made to not be able to held in our hands. My music used to be tapes, then CD's, now I just own the device that plays the virtual music i buy online. Comic books have become full length movies and making 1 billion dollars each time a new one comes out. Panini is making virtual football cards that are selling for ridiculous amounts online. Reminds me of a mix between Inception and Truman Show. Different levels of simulations created by the one before it.

BTW, what 'truth' are you talking about?  The only truth I know is based on objective facts.

Actually the only truth you know is materialism. The objective facts are in dispute.

Materialists such as yourself are often herded into a form of rationalized self-annihilation that is deeply deeply tied to the corruption of modernity BADecker highlighted in his most recent post.

Here is an article that discusses this downward spiral. The portion on willful self-annihilation is particularly relevant.

Old Left-New Left... Modernity-Postmodernity - surface changes masking a constant deep motivation against God

For the purposes of this immediate and specific conversation it is the following.

Materialism is false.

Professor Valentina Zharkova is a tenured professor Mathematician and Astrophysicist. Her model of solar cycles is entirely reproducible, and accurately accounts for prior global temperature variations with a greater then 90% accuracy. It also entirely repudiates the current global warming narrative so it is ignored.

Professor Valentina Zharkova: The Solar Magnet Field and the Terrestrial Climate
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=M_yqIj38UmY&feature=youtu.be

How many people will take the 90 minutes to watch Professor Zharkova's presentation?  Very few most will prefer to just be told the answer by the media the Pope or whoever else is whispering in their ear.

Truth is like that. Often hidden away in the background present but not demanding or forceful. It patiently waits for people to get tired of their current falsehood and approach it when they are ready.

Scientific theories are the best explanation for a specific thing though. Also global warming is not a scientific theory. The fact is that god is not a scientific theory, hypothesis or anything, it's just religion. It's by definition something that you have to believe in based on faith, not evidence, which is what everyone does. Faith is not a good path to the truth, that's also a fact.

There been an increase in temperature over recent decades that is established scientific fact. The global measured increase is just under 1 degree centigrade over the last 100 years or so.
https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/features/GlobalWarming/page2.php

The idea that the warming is caused by human activity, however, is unproven theory.

We know from the historical record that there have been large swings in temperature in the distant past long before mankind could have had any appreciable impact on the climate.

The default hypothesis should thus be that observed temperature variations are not caused by humans until we have ruled out external factors like cyclical variations solar output or orbital mechanics as a primary cause.

Did you know that Mars is currently undergoing global warming too?
https://m.washingtontimes.com

Man made global warming is a theory one that is widely accepted by climate scientists. It's also probably false.

If you want to understand what is actually going to happen with climate in the next few decades I really do recommend watching Professor Zharkova video above her research and reproducible model is in my opinion a genuine scientific breakthrough.

You can already see the signs of retreat. The global warming salesman know they will soon be exposed as charlatans. That is why global warming has morphed into "Climate Change". I will laugh if it goes full on Orwellian and we start hearing about how man made CO2 is causing global cooling.

Scientific theories are only the best explanation for something if they are arrived at from a genuine objective search for truth rather then an attempted to secure funding or drive an agenda. Even then they only represent the most plausible answer based on our current information. Other possibilities exists and it is always a mistake to confuse theory with fact.

God is an a priori Truth. If you take the time to learn epistemology you will learn that all knowledge including scientific knowledge has a priori at its foundation.

It is no coincidence that the corruption of modern science is occurring simultaneously with the rise of atheism among scientists.

I'm well aware of your arguments supporting god. They are indeed better than 99% of religious nutjobs or badecker. They are however just another silly try to justify your beliefs in God. You are obviously intellectual an cannot accept god exists without any evidence so you have to have something. Your arguments however fail because they can be applied to any kind of God, even one that you could make up right now.

In my opinion, the experiences with God are not necessarily based on faith or belief. Some people have experienced true, personal, life changing miracles that prove to them God is real. To them, they don't need to believe in God, they know God exists.

''have experienced true, personal, life changing miracles that prove to them God is real.'' This is by definition faith. It's called delusion. How do they know it's true? They don't, there is no evidence, therefore it's faith.

When you get right into the reason why some medicine seems to heal people, you have the same thing. Here's what happens.

We get some medical testing that shows biochemically in the lab that a particular medicine works. Then in live testing, some people seem to be healed by the medicine in question. Some are not. The thing we don't understand enough, is the working of the psyche, to be able to say for a fact that it was the medicine that healed them.

Well, if it wasn't the medicine, then what was it? Maybe 90% of the healings are placebo effect... faith (even in animals). Maybe, when it comes right down to it, close to 100% are placebo-like effect.

Maybe being healed by medicine has to do with the treated person subconsciously recognizing, through his nervous system, that there is some biochemical activity going on from the medicine. And then he heals himself by what he feels through his nervous system. The medicine action doesn't really have anything to do with the actual healing in a biochemical way.

Some studies suggest that placebo effect heals in as many as 30+% or the cases. We simply don't know enough about the psyche of people in general to know if it is more or not. And the medical doesn't want to do these kinds of studies in a big way. Do enough of them to make it look like we are studying placebo effect. But don't do enough to take business away from Big Pharma.

Cool

No. Placebo effect exists, that's true, however you will not be ''cured'' by placebo effect alone. No one has been ever ''cured'' from cancer due to placebo. It's true that when it comes to pain relief treatments, the placebo effect can play a big role and a lot of people can feel better even though they are getting worse. This is because the placebo effect is a psychological effect not physiological. The brain is the responsible of pain and other symptoms, pain is literally a fabrication of your brain and the placebo effect can stop it, however that's where it ends, it does not heal you from deadly diseases.

Quite the opposite. Placebo effect acts in both directions... to heal and to make ill. You've heard of people who died after the doctor told them they only had a couple months to live. Did they die because of faith in what the doctor said?

The basic idea of placebo effect has to do with what you believe. You believe this way or that, and you prove it by what you do. It is happening all around us in politics and all of everyday life. People do what they do because they believe that way.

Placebo effect is simply bodily regulation through belief. Often people don't know that they are using placebo effect. Double blind medical studies prove this out.

Trying to force yourself into a position of believing yourself cured doesn't work very often. Why not? Because the thing you accidentally focus on is the thing that you are trying to push out of your mind. You focus on it because you are trying to force it out. But by focusing on it, you are really keeping it in mind.

We don't know enough about the psyche to easily fathom its inner workings. Placebo effect cures some cancer. Placebo effect out-performs medicine. We might be finding out that placebo-effect/faith is the only medicine, and that Big Pharma medicine only acts like placebo effect in the central systems of the body.

Since the question about placebo effect exist, we are really only guessing that medicine does anything at all.

Incidentally, you fail to answer me realistically, because you know that I am right, and you can't force yourself into believing the garbage you say. You are using a form of placebo effect, and you are using it against yourself.

Cool

I like how you always talk out of your ass, placebo effect does not cure cancer, ever or any other deadly disease and there is no evidence of it.

''have experienced true, personal, life changing miracles that prove to them God is real.'' This is by definition faith. It's called delusion. How do they know it's true? They don't, there is no evidence, therefore it's faith.

Yes, but they believe their experiences were real, they don't need us to believe them. They know what they saw, we don't know what they saw. We don't believe them, we call them "delusional"

The definition of faith would be never having any experience of any sort and still believe in God, that is faith. I think it is completely different.

Whatever you want to call it, it is not the way to the truth, clearly. I mean how many people claim they have seen ghosts? Aliens? Demons, etc etc. They all believe their experiences are real, all religious people believe they saw their god and yet not all gods can exist at the same time so we at least know some of them have to be wrong. What's the way to determine the truth, then? No way, personal experiences are useless.

"but test everything; hold fast what is good." -- 1 Thessalonians 5:21

Hang onto Jesus salvation. Stop reviling other people by saying things like, "Go hang yourself." Saint Paul says, 1 Corinthians 4:12b,13:
When we are cursed, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it; when we are slandered, we answer kindly. We have become the scum of the earth, the garbage of the world—right up to this moment.

If you are so insincere about the way you talk to other people, then you are insincere about the Bible, and insincere about flat earth.

Cool

P.S.  Now, go back through all your posts and delete the nasty talk that you use against people.

Yes, slap him badecker, show him the true power of god. He is going to hell, isn't he?

No, he is not, if he believes in Jesus salvation. But since you fight against even the existence of God, there is no way you can believe in Jesus salvation. So it is you who are going to Hell.

Cool

Right, forgot that's the only thing your god cares about, nevermind the insults and encouraging people to kill themselves everyday. Cool
