Debunking of the Top Ten Reasons Why We (allegedly) Know the Earth is Round (as in a globe)
I'm going to debunk each of the so-called "Top Ten Reasons Why We Know The Earth is Round." It's actually quite easy.
Here's to debunking number 1: The Photographic Evidence.
I know it's been a while since I started this series. Sorry it took so long to get this last one out. I finally needed to do something with it in order to use it in an upcoming conference. So here it is. But this is actually not the full version I've been working on. The longer, more in-depth one is still a work in progress. There's a lot of ground needing to be covered when it comes to this issue, so please be patient. For now, this video is the short and to the point version and it covers the highlights of why we can't trust the so-called "photographic evidence" supplied to us by NASA and various other space agencies. You should definitely do your own research into this topic because there is a LOT more information out there worth considering.
Here's to debunking number 2: Lunar Eclipses.
This along with the Coriolis Effect, were the only 2 in the "Top Ten" that initially gave me the most problems. Not so much anymore. Scripture defines the moon as a "lessor light" that "gives" and "causes" her own light to shine. It's never described as a reflector. Practical experiments also show that it is not reflecting sun light. The angles are wrong and so are the properties of its light, which are totally different from that of the sun. It is therefore - at least for me - no longer a valid reason in support of the spinning globe model.
Here's to debunking number 3: The Horizon.
Yes, this is a long one. There is much to consider with this one. I have no doubt that this will not sway any hardcore believers in the globe. They'll have a "yeah butt" for every point made. This is more for those who are searching, questioning and looking at the world around them with perhaps a more critical eye than they have before. This video covers issues of "atmospheric lensing" and ships/cities allegedly disappearing from the bottom up. It deals with the lack of curvature and issues if there were curvature. It deals with flying "straight and level" over a ball and the attitude indicator instrument on aircraft and more.
Here's to debunking number 4: Magellan - Circumnavigation.
Again... wow. Really? Circumnavigation on a circle works exactly the same way as it does on a ball.
Beyond that, contrary to what some have claimed, no one has truly circumnavigated the globe north to south and back to north in a way that would be required in order to prove the Earth is a globe. So, this is a re-upload of this video, now including additional information and a challenge to ball Earthers at the end.
Here's to debunking number 5: Stars change when viewed North or South.
This is another one of those that are so simple I can't believe it's used as a "proof."
Here's to debunking number 6: The Sun's Altitude.
Was Eratosthenes right? Or could there be another way to look at his observations?
Here's to debunking number 7: Triangles - Seriously?
LOL! I can't even believe this one is in the list. Wow.
Here's to debunking number 8: The Coriolis Effect.
If the Earth is not rotating (and it's been scientifically proven that it is NOT), then the whole premise of the Coriolis Effect falls apart. And OK ball Earthers... which is it? Is the atmosphere glued to the spinning ball or not? Please make up your minds. Thanks.
Here's to debunking number 9: Time Zones.
Yep. Time zones work just as well on the Circle of the Earth as they do on the ball. No problem. Same with the four seasons.
Here's to debunking number 10: Everything else "up there" appears to be spherical.
The Bible describes the Earth as the center stage, main attraction. It showed up first. Everything else was put up there to serve a function FOR THE EARTH. Hence, the Earth is indeed something very special as compared to the rest of the stuff above it.
