General / this forum
Q: "Is this site for real?"
A: This site is real. There are people who seriously believe the Earth is flat. However, there are also people on this site who do not.
Q: "Why do you guys believe the Earth is flat?"
A: Well, it looks that way up close. Also, Samuel Rowbotham et al. performed a variety of experiments over a period of several years that show it must be flat. They are all explained in his book, which is linked at the top of this article.
lol.
I had a look at those "experiments"... are they for real that was done back in 1881... and they all seem a little bit flawed.
Oh and "RE (theory/model): Round Earth (theory/model), a theory which states that the Earth is round." :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

That forum has 14,500 members! Therefore it MUST be true! I note that the sun and moon, each 32 miles in diameter, circle Earth at a height of 3000 miles at its equator. Just what I always thought!
