Description

I think the Earth is round, my opponent thinks the Earth is flat. BoP is shared. Only use science and physics to argue, no religious quotes please. We can also discuss if there is a conspiracy and if the government is lying to us. If you want to provide scientific studies, cite your sources.

Structure:
Round 1 - Main Argument
Round 2 - Rebuttals
Round 3 - Rebuttals
Round 4 - Rebuttals
Round 5 - Final Argument

This is an example of "You aren't guaranteed to win just because you are correct." Wylted used evidence that are simply wrong, but his opponent used nothing otherwise.

Best flat earth argument yet!
I may be convinced. 🤔

I am not a homo. Who likes his planet the shape of a man's testicles. If you want to be a fruit and live on a testicle shaped planet, that is your business, I am living on a planet shaped like an asian womans tits. #getyourhomopromotingassoffmycomments

An ant on a beach ball can see the curvature of the beach ball.
You can see an ant on the beach ball
You cannot see people on the earth from space.
You cannot see bacteria on a beach ball
Bacteria see the beach ball as a flat plane.
Their bridges are so tiny they do not need to take any curvature into account.
If the earth was a beach ball, you would be the size of a bacteria, or maybe some slightly bigger single celled creature.
You see the earth as a flat plane. Your bridges are tiny. Because you are so tiny.

Everest is 30,000 feet tall. Mariana trench is 36,000 feet deep.
The circumference of the earth is 131.5 MILLION feet. If you ran your finger along the earth from space, it would feel as smooth as a billiards ball.

A lack of understanding of scales does not prove a flat earth.

No flat earth model can explain both the solar and lunar eclipses. Both lunar and solar eclipses do happen. Therefore the earth is not flat. Vote Nemiroff! Thank you very much! 😁🍻

"If the Earth were round people would fall off the bottom."

HAHAHA wylted's argument actually has me dying brilliant 😂😂😂

You know nothing of inertial forces and acceleration?

@sigmaphil

It would need to be a soft 15 actually. If I proved tge Earth 16000 years old it would be absurd to lose a YEC debate

-->
@Wylted

I would debate you on the earth is less than 15,000 years old. Just curious why the hard 15000 number?

@sigmaphil

It's because of this guy

It's a mistake to not allow Bible verses in the arguments. The Bible predominately argues for the round earth. Just an FYI.

@Wylted

Wanna Go? You YEC

Challenge me to a young earth creationism debate right now. You won't because you know that the Earth is no more than 25,000 years old. It is certainly not millions of year. Nice you blocked me because you know I would destroy you.

-->
@Wylted

lol I think that's a joke, I mean you lost 14 debates, and yeah I totally "wpuld" never debate you on it (sarcasm alert!)
15,000 years? Are you kidding me? You and a bunch of other trolls are trying to ruin the site, stop.

The Earth is also less than 15000 years old also, but you are a coward and wpuld never debate me on it

Aluminium or tin?

And GOD is an acronym. That represents both the left over relic and that which will eventually facilitate a new genesis.

And GOD created man and man will recreate GOD.

Whadya think Bro?

You hate gays, and yo claim God supports you,get out of here, YOU ARE BURGER KING CHRSITAN.

Satan is running you overtime now.

TheAtheist,

YOUR RED HERRING QUOTE RELATIVE TO MY POST #21 TO YOU: "You think that all gays should be murdered??"

You don't get something for nothing! You are trying to insidiously misdirect away from my post #21 to you within this thread, that you are eerily silent upon! Why is that? Therefore, if you can't address said post, then be totally embarrassed and get another Hell Bound Atheist to help you address it so it doesn't look like you're RUNNING AWAY from me as a TRUE Christian on DebateArt! LOL!

Awaiting your COGENT reply to my post #21.

oromagi,

Addressing your post to me #22, are you vying to be as biblically ignorant as Dr. Franklin?! I understand that some members on DebateArt have to go through a learning process, where you have to be made the fool first, and then learn from it, just like the ever so inept Dr. Franklin had to do with me in the past.

Therefore, the acronym of "OMG" is NOT, I repeat, is NOT taking the Lord's NAME in vain. Take off your aluminum tin foil hat for a moment, and I'll explain it to you, okay? OMG = "OH MY GOD" which is an interjection of an emotive action of excitement, frustration, shock etc. Your misguided notion of the 3rd commandment in taking the Lord's NAME in vain does not apply to "OMG."

“You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.” (Deuteronomy 5:11)

You see, OMG represents the term GOD in its inference, therefore, the term GOD is a TITLE, like President, or vice President is a TITLE. Whereas, the Presidents NAME is the Hell Bound Donald Trump, which is the NAME of the TITLE of President. Conversely, the NAME of our Christian GOD is JESUS, therefore if I used "OH MY JESUS, as an example that I will be forgiven for, THIS WOULD BE TAKING THE LORDS NAME IN VAIN, YOU BLATANT FOOL!

Kids, nothing but kids. :(

@Death23

The round earther will probably get the argument points as well as the source points.

-->
@Alec

Do you mean the spelling and grammar and source points? If that's what you meant then yes I agree, but I typically don't award such points.

-->
@Death23

They still can get the argument and source points.

Any instigator who takes the position of a truism should not be awarded argument points. Creating such a debate weighs heavily against him when it comes to conduct points.

No True Christian uses OMG- that would be taking the lord's name in vain.

TheAtheist,

OMG, you still don't get it!!! What did I expect from an Atheist whose ignorance pertaining to the ramifications relative to the Flat Earth Bible has no bounds?!

Here, let me go REAL SLOW for you this time, where I have to resort in going back to 1st grade reasoning to hopefully make you comprehend a very simple Biblical concept and the ramifications of it today, okay? Huh?

1. TheAtheist, ready? Take a deep breath, exhale and breath in, okay? Now let me continue, Jesus, as god incarnate within His inspired and direct words within the bible, states with specificity that the EARTH IS FLAT, as well as the historicity of the era did as well, where no Christian can argue against this point, period! STOP!

2. Take another deep breath, and I will continue. Ready again? Therefore, with today's knowledge if the Christian wants to state that the earth is a sphere and NOT FLAT like the bible portends, THEN THEY HAVE TO CALL JESUS A LIAR BECAUSE THE BIBLE AND THE JEWISH FAITH AT THE TIME ACCEPTED THE EARTH TO BE FLAT, STOP!

3. Take another deep breath, exhale, and I will continue. Ready? Look at the images in the links below to visually show you what the bible states about a FLAT EARTH!

http://nebula.wsimg.com/c7e8cdcfe81d0f185ddc0e4adfb75bed?AccessKeyId=B57932DD12CFB7CA3401&disposition=0&alloworigin=1

4. Now, take another deep breath, exhale, and I will continue. Ready again? DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF A CATCH-22, FOOL?! Therefore, to be a TRUE Christian, like myself, we Christians DO NOT have the option of calling Jesus a LIAR relative to his His FLAT EARTH doctrine because we would be committing the dreadful UNPARDONABLE SIN, do you understand?! Therefore, all TRUE Christians have to accept that the EARTH IS FLAT, even though it is a sphere, get it? Huh? Maybe just a "little bit?" :(

@BrotherDThomas

NOW LISTEN UP, YOU ADULTERATED FOOL!

A holy book written by desert scribes is no proof of a FLAT EARTH!
Just because people thought that the Earth was flat doesn’t mean it’s actually flat.

Get it, FOOL?!

You are excused.

-->
@BrotherDThomas

Why dont you accept and defend his Words,huh

-->
@BrotherDThomas

your not a true Christian, YOU are a Burger King Christian, you don't get anything IN THE BIBLE. You lost that debate idiot with me,. so ACCEPT it ,you are a fraud sad lonely man. If your tired,then leave, well don't because you have brought me great laughs.

TheAtheist,

Barring the FACT that you can't come up with your own material to at least "try" and combat TRUE Christians like myself, and have to use the Brother D's appropriate material instead, you get the point that I am making!

The Christian cannot usurp what Jesus states within the Bible, period! (Proverbs 30:5) Therefore, when the Bible proposes a FLAT EARTH, when the Jews of the Bible accepted a FLAT EARTH in their history outside of the Bible, when the historicity at the time of Jesus' writings of 100AD forward proposes a FLAT and GEOCENTRIC EARTH through the Ptolemaic Planetary System, when the Bronze, Iron, and Middle Ages proposed a FLAT EARTH along with other peoples of this time period, THEN THE EARTH INDEED WAS CONSIDERED FLAT!

Only fake Christians like the ever so inept Dr. Franklin use their deceiving anachronistic spin doctoring to call Jesus' inspired word in the Bible LIES regarding a FLAT EARTH! Fake Christians cannot have their cake and eat it too, they either have to accept a FLAT EARTH as described within the Bible (2 Peter 1:20-21), or discard the Bible altogether and join the science of today in the 21st century. It is just that simple, understood?

I get so tired of Burger King fake Christians like the weasel Dr. Franklin, where they want their bible "their way" instead of "Jesus' way!"

Now, as shown before, since you cannot in any way respond to my TRUE Christian statements herein regarding the Bible and its FLAT EARTH acceptances, along with the historicity of the time accepting this as well, then use some of my "BrotherDisms" AGAIN within this post showing you to be an outright ignorant fool relative to the topic at hand.

Yup I saw that video before. He’s hilarious.

“LISTEN UP, YOU UNADULTERATED FOOL”
“GET IT, FOOL?“
“ALL SUPPORT A FLAT EARTH! 2+2=4”
“You are excused for now.”

From now on, I’m just going to use your quotes to reply.

@BrotherDThomas

um I won that debate..You were embarrased

I might accept this debate if it remains unaccepted over the next few days.

Mmm.... science

-->
@TheAtheist

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xM9S4QiEHEY says the earth is flat. He then says the earth is a solid fart. The video is very funny. I recommend you guys watch it.

@BrotherDThomas

You ignore science, and you ignore the TRUE words of Neil deGrasse Tyson, who said that the earth wasn't flat. He is a respectable scientist, and you are truly insane.

Gatorade,

Your biblical ignorance of the TRUE words of Jesus the Christ, as Yahweh God incarnate, where His word proposed the earth being flat, with a Ptolemaic Planetary System of the era, are duly noted.

@TheAtheist

TheAtheist,

YOUR COMEDIC QUOTE: "That’s because he’s not a flat earther like you, idiot. Why would he debate with me on something that we both agree on?"

LISTEN UP, YOU UNADULTERATED FOOL, the fact remains that ALL, and I repeat, ALL Christians are to believe in a FLAT EARTH, including Dr. Franklin, where he DOES NOT have the option of believing in an anachronistic way of a "spherical earth" relative to our Bible. GET IT, FOOL? With the historicity of our faith, the Iron, Bronze, and Middle Ages of a flat earth theory, and the Ptolemaic Planetary System of the age of Jesus' writings, ALL SUPPORT A FLAT EARTH! 2+2=4, oil and water don't mix, and you are becoming as IGNORANT as Dr. Franklin!

Learn your history before you remove one foot to insert the other next time, understood?!

You are excused for now.

I was going to create a debate about this, but I knew some random over-religious dude was going to use religious facts to beat real physical facts. So, I would like to see how this debate would turn out. But, I don't think religion can beat over science so the earth is not flat.
