\"earthI have followed the arguments of flat-earthers carefully, even carefully looking at one of the six-hour documentaries: The Best Flat Earth Documentary, which I will share with you later.<\/p>\n

I must admit that the video is well narrated and carries some hard facts and well laid-out theories. However, the idea of a flat earth simply does not hold up. I will delve into more details as to why I conclude this later, but for now, I will give you one piece of evidence which shows that flat-earthers are groping at straws. It is this picture below, which I believe is so misleading, that it is outright gross and disturbing.<\/p>\n

\"\"

That spinning globe is a gross misrepresentation of the earth’s rotation. The earth rotates once every twenty-four hours. In other words, if you look at the earth from outer space, you cannot see it rotate even once, unless you sat there for twenty four hours. Second, that is not the size of a man in comparison to the size of earth.<\/p><\/div>\n

This photo, captured from the flat-earth documentary: The Best Flat Out Documentary, is so obscene, not only because of the horrible appearance, but because of the way it blows things out of proportions.<\/p>\n

If you’re going to win an argument, you cannot be so scientifically inaccurate. Flat earthers, that is not the size of a man in comparison to the size of the earth! Not even close. You cannot win an argument with such grossly disproportionate arguments!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
