Isaiah 40:22

It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

None of that precludes the Earth being a sphere. Nor does it preclude the vacuum of space. It's just a description of what you see in poetic terms in the language of the day.

You've never seen the back side of the moon. Round doesn't automatically equal ball shaped. The bible says earth is a circle but it does not say it's a ball.

That's the realm of pure fantasy.

So if it is round and not a ball there has to be an edge. Where is the edge ? Why has no one ever seen it ?

The "debunking Eric Dubay's 200 claims of flat earth" is much more entertaining because they just use circular arguments and label it "cognitive bias" when they can't find a scientific way to disprove his claims.

The problem they have "debunking" that video is there are a bunch more ISS bloopers out there to contend with so even if they are right about that one being faked, they still have a bunch of other stuff to address. Therefore, to me, it's still fake.

It also doesn't lend much credibility to your globe/"space" claims either.

So if he's not upside down ( from our perspective, explain the shape you think the earth is and how it is that you can literally get on a boat and go around and around and around it forever.

I have no idea really, but if I was younger and maybe lived in a different age I'd head to Antarctica to see what I could see. All the amateur balloon vids from like 70k (maybe higher) feet just show vast (flat) expanses. I really don't know what we live on, or much about the realm we inhabit.

Fuck that. Cold as fuck in Antartica.

So you admit that it may be a sphere ?

Magellan's ship sailed around it centuries ago... just for starters.

It's silent on it. They didn't know back then. Where are the verses on the USA and Australia. Plainly you don't exist.

I'm happy to let @Dan Gleesak settle this issue. He knows everything worth knowing on Rig-Talk + he is a hyrax whisperer.

I’m semi preoccupied with the VP debate at the moment. It’s much more interesting than the presidential one was. JD Vance seems to be committing career suicide working with Trump though. Dude comes off as intelligent when it’s not spitting out Trump drivel

I don’t even know what we are talking about in this thread anymore. I also don’t know what special gravity is.

According to the flat earth types there is an ice wall that ball earthers call the south pole. Conspiracy further fueled by disallowing private exploration of that region, at least, to my knowledge.

Yeah, ultimately I'm agnostic. But I don't really think it would be sphere. I could be wrong. The circumnavigation stuff gets tricky too, depending on what you believe magnetic north is. Recently I've heard it's about to shift btw.

I don't know what special gravity is either. Never heard of it.

It has shifted before . It will again. I don't even see a possible way you can go around the earth traveling in one direction without it being a sphere. It's physically impossible.

The poles are always shifting
