We know the Earth is flat because the Bible tells us so. But for those of you skeptical, close-minded types that flat out refuse to accept the overwhelming Biblical evidence, I have designed some experiments you can do at home that will show you, before your very eyes, that the world is indeed flat, and not spherical as some crazy scientists proclaim. It’s amazing how many people blindly believe in a spherical Earth, without ever having seen it for themselves! I intend to change that.

1) Jump!
Now, scientists claim that Earth is spherical and rotating at a speed of between 700-1000 miles per hour, depending on your latitude. This is a very high rate of speed. You can disprove this nonsense by simply jumping up as high as you can. Really, it’s that simple. What happens when you jump? You come straight down to where you were. But, if the Earth were indeed spinning at such a fast speed, wouldn’t you land hundreds of feet away?

If you were to stand in the flat bed of a truck going 75 mph, and jump straight up, what would happen? You wouldn’t fall straight down. You would fall out of the truck. That’s because trucks move, the Earth doesn’t. This experiment proves the Earth is fixed in space and doesn’t move.

2) Blow!
Since if the Earth is supposedly a sphere, it naturally comes to assume what would happen to people below the equator, like in Australia? Since they are underneath the sphere, wouldn’t they fall off? This is where scientists come up with mumbo-jumbo like “gravity” and “centrifugal force” to explain away their theories. So, the scientists want you to think that because the earth is so much more massive than people or things, that people will naturally “stick” to the bottom of the earth because of gravity.

This can be disproved very simply. Get a balloon and inflate it as big as possible. It will be a spherical shape. Now, take a piece of paper and try to rip, tear, or cut the tiniest speck of paper possible. This paper represents a human being, much smaller in mass to the balloon, which represents the Earth. Now try and place the small piece of paper to the underside of the balloon. What happens? It falls off!

That’s right. Even though the balloon is so much bigger in mass, it cannot hold the tiny paper. So if the Earth was a sphere, no one could live below the equator because they would fall off.

3) Get High!
Ok, this one you really can’t do at home, but you can do it out in the world. Stand on the ground and look around you. What’s the farthest you can see? Maybe it’s a building, tree, or mountain. Now, find some place very close to it where you can get a much higher vantage point. (This also works if you’re on a jet and about to take off.) Notice how in the higher place you can see much farther? You can see more of the world the higher you get. This shows the world is flat because the higher you go, the easier it is to see over obstacles. At the same time, it shows the world cannot be spherical. Because if the world was curved, the far distance would forever remain out of view because of the Earth’s curvature. It would eternally be over the horizon.

If the Earth was a sphere, it would not matter how high you went, you would still see the same thing. Since this is not the case, the Earth is flat.

These experiments are all confirmed by creation scientists as being 100% accurate. If you’re skeptical of the flat Earth, why don’t you do these experiments so you can see truth with your own eyes.

Yours in Christ,

Seroxat

TLDR, jump blow and get high

The earth is flat did you not read it or are you just being intentionally obtuse? Because you can't ignore the facts.

right, this is why trains never have to stop to let people off. they just hop through the door while the train is in motion and fall harmlessly to the ground.

I'm not sure how that proves the earth is flat, though, only that it isn't revolving around its axis. a spherical earth could still be motionless in space.

The only way I'm going to jump up from the back of a truck moving 75mph is if I have been drinking. And I don't trust my balance or observation under those circumstances.

The most important experiment you can run to prove that the earth is flat is take a round ball and set it on the ground!

If the earth was round a ball would roll but instead it stays perfectly still.

Like have you ever tried to stack 2 balls on top of each other? It's extremely hard to get the balance right so they stay still. Most of the time the ball on top rolls off...
