The Fact the Earth is Flat is not my opinion, it is a Proved Fact! While all we need to know is that the Bible says the Earth is flat (Is.40:22, Ez.7:2, Dn.2:35; 4:10-11,20, Mt.4:8)... but for a second can you imagine what these so-called 'scientists would have us believe --- If the earth really was round, that would mean there arre people who are HANGING DOWN, HEAD DOWNWARDS while we are standing head up? But since the theory allows to travel to those parts of the earth where the people are said to hand head downward, and still to fancy ourselves to be heads upwards, and our friends whom we have left behind us to be heads downwards! LOL! What foolishness! TheWHOLE THING IS A MYTH - A DREAM - A DELUSION - and a snare, and, instead of there being any evidence at all in this direction to substantiate this popular theory, it is plain proof that the Earth is Not A Globe!

Columbus didn't prove a damned thing. It had be matematically proven that the earth was curved two thousand years before he got on a boat.

The world's not round, it's (mostly) spherical.

The earth is closer to a sphere than the average pool cue.

or any other pool ball.

oblate spheroid == round.

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/round

The world is round. Anyone who argues otherwise is either an idiot or a douchebag.

the earth is an oblate sphereoid, but the bulge in the equator is really small compared to the rest of the earth (>40km)?

modern man does not realize we used to own 97% of the world. now we only own .000007%. but I have no idea what percentages and decimals are because I am too busy dancing for rain and sticking feathers on my head.

Deuteronomy 2:35
35 But the livestock and the plunder from the towns we had captured we carried off for ourselves.

4:10-11
10 Remember the day you stood before the LORD your God at Horeb, when he said to me, "Assemble the people before me to hear my words so that they may learn to revere me as long as they live in the land and may teach them to their children." 11 You came near and stood at the foot of the mountain while it blazed with fire to the very heavens, with black clouds and deep darkness.

4:20
20 But as for you, the LORD took you and brought you out of the iron-smelting furnace, out of Egypt, to be the people of his inheritance, as you now are."
