The Bible's Flat Earth

the 13 century philosophers and church leaders believed that the sun and everything else revolved around the earth, not the other way around.

exactly my point. have you ever been in the middle of the ocean? when you look to the horizon, it actually curves. i don't know how they could have missed that. also, if they would actually stop and think about it, if there was a central gravity point, wouldn't all of the mass around it get into the closest space to the source? that makes a ball. it is also scientifically innacurate according to my statement. if there was a flat earth, then there would have to be a center of gravity much like a flat plane. it would stand to reason that the plane would try to stretch into infinity. therefore the small amount of mass that would have been the earth would crumble and tear itself apart to get to the source of the flat gravity.it would also not make sense that someone could fall off the earth, due to the gravity of the flat plane. once you started to walk off the edge, the next segment of the plane would take hold, much like if you were able to walk around the earth. you don't fall off when you get to antarctica, do you?Edited by hawkes nightmare, : No reason given.

drbill's picture also denies the existence of a flat earth. just an extra bit of information.

i have no objection except...
Darwin's theories were so incomplete you need a transcript of the evolutionary chain to even half-understand his book, "on the origin of species". there are too many holes in his reasoning.
How do you get "all species are alike and have evolved from each other" from studying minor changes in birds on the galapogos islands?

yes, i have read part of the book. have you?

this is debate about a flat earth, not english class.
