The Earth is Flat!

i suspect the source in the OP is a deliberate prank to make people believe that some people actually believe the world is flat
hopefully it's just satirising old school fools
nobody ACTUALLY believes the earth is flat
and perhaps some people of earth do, but if they exist they're probably people with no access to modern culture or scientific discovery of any kind I.E. as yet undiscovered tribes

ummmm dude your not as wrong as the flat earth guys but your wrong.e2density said:
we are currently moving at the same speed of earth and thus even if we jump for month we would still land in the same place. This is also true since even air is moving at the speed of the earth and thus you would not be effected by air resistance.
proof: helicopters. they can float in the same place by doing only a downward force for hours and they would still land in same place.
Two things. Landover baptist is a joke. LITERALLY.Zenode said:
It's satire.
The funniest part is that centrifugal force doesn't actually exist. There is centripetal force, but no centrifugal force.
Yeah I think this is a site meant to ridicule creationists. Im a Creationist myself & its the most common mockery used, if you dont believe in evolution then you dont believe in gravity or you believe the earth is flat.
First of all the Bible says no such thing about a flat earth.
Second, we wont land further away from the spot we jump from because of we have the momentum of the earth. You can try this by dropping something from a car window, it will fall at an angle down forwards due to the momentum & gravity (Preferably a heavy object as wind resistance may fudge the experiment)
Third,In space there is no up or down. We Australians dont fall off the surface of the earth but towards the centre Just like everyone else on the planet.
Forth, the piece of paper falls off because the earths gravity is by far stronger than what any balloon with dismal mass could produce in comparisson.
And fifth, on a much smaller planet we may see the horizon but earth is so huge the surface feels flat & if it were flat then we should be able to see every other country with powerful telescopes rather than with satellites.
Sadly though I wouldnt put it past some people in the world that would believe such things.

if you actually thought those ppl are serious when they said the earth is flat, you sir may actually be more retarded than the trolls that posted those reasons XD
"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."
Ha ha ha ha ha!
Those people are stupid. And if you actually jump straight up in a truck that drives with a constant speed of 75, you will land at the same place. Would it have hurt them to try those experiments themselves before they post them.

Ditto, I was sitting in my AI class and kinda chuckled aloud, confusing everyone.TriggerOnly said:
i find it funny how people keep finding this pages and scream "PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS"
hah, has anyone made their research?? come on, in google the second or third hit actually explains who made the page and why, and how its all a satire.
search "flat earth society" for more mock up pages
i mean... people, do your research before sending people to this pages to rage unless you are trying to troll, so then 0/10 for lack of originality and old content.
