"IT has been shown that the doctrine of the earth's rotundity is simply a plausible theory, having no practical foundation" Neville, So he's saying that the Earth is flat and consists of a single land mass that is set upon on "the waters of the deep", and that there is a slight vibration that disturbs surface waters, which then causes various tides? Bernie Question: FLAT EARTH ANYONE? I am inquiring as to what you all think about the idea (reality?) of a "flat Earth" with borders that no one has ever been able to penetrate, and as I've read... is covered by a semidome. After reading various opinions and so-called "factual" statements from the "flat Earth society" I'm not sure if the possibility of a "grand illusion/deception" on such a large scale --- ( having other planets, etc. ) is possible to pull-off?!?!?!? May I have some responses? I would appreciate it. Response 1: The Bible says it's a globe. That's it. Besides, people from thousands of years ago used to circumnavigate the Earth regularly. And furthermore it just "feels" round don't it??? But most of all, the aliens have beautiful pictures of the whole spherical surface of the Earth in a four-dimentional holograph. Response 2: This is very possible, because all humans live in an illusion centered on themselves. I appreciate the fact that you at least appear to be thinking. Response 3: You make me sick to the pit of my stomach... of course the Earth is round. Have you ever been to the edge of the Earth? Is there really any even remotely possible reason for you to believe that the Earth could be flat? I really, really despise the notion... stand down my man, stand down, know when you're beaten and accept it, honestly, this crazy talk isn't going to do you any good at all. Have you a PhD in physics, or perhaps firsthand photographic accounts of your wild trip to the literal end of the Earth? Give it up, you're a sodden cow.
