What is the difference between a Flat Earther and a Creationist?

[ratiocinator]

Right, nothing can feel the 1,040 mi per hour motion because it’s all relative yet for everything existing through it it’s magically not relative and has no effects on.

No idea what that even means. However, it looks like you know nothing at all about the science you are disagreeing with. Don't you think it would be a good idea to familiarise yourself with it, if only to be in a better position rebut it?

Your questions and your upside-down photos make you look silly - if you found out what the science actually says (how everybody else thinks gravity works), surely you could save going through the simple stuff and look much more credible....

So a sideways boat at the Equator, the gravity is only only working on top of the boat ~ not on either sides of the boat? And those massive clouds ~ gravity just ignores and doesn’t force them down upon us?

When you post nonsense like this you are begging people to laugh at you.

Once again, down is in the direction of gravity. Your post demonstrates an inability to understand a very very simple concept.

So an upside kangaroo in Australia won’t fall off of the Earth? If everything is always upright ~ that’s just as good as calling it a plane.

They have been navigating with the Kamal since the 10th century. They obviously knew the earth was not flat.

1. Arab navigators used a Kamal to find latitude - Ocean ...
   www.oceannavigator.com/January-February-2003/Arab-navigators-used-a-Kamal-to-find-latitude
   Jan 01, 2003 · A kamal provided an Arab navigator with knowledge of latitude. To take a sight with the kamal, one of the knots was clenched in the teeth, and the kamal was held at arm's length. When the upper and lower edges of the device became coincident with the pole star and the horizon, the navigator knew his latitude was correct.

   kamal A more accurate, but still simple instrument was known as a kamal. This was a small parallelogram of horn or wood measuring about one by two inches with a string inserted in the center. On the string were nine knots at measured intervals. The end of the string was held in the teeth.

What? Where are you getting these bizarre ideas from? The boat isn't sideways. Gravity works on everything with mass.

And those massive clouds ~ gravity just ignores and doesn’t force them down upon us?

Yes, even the clouds - do you really not know why clouds don't fall down? Do you not believe in gravity at all? If not, why does anything fall down?

All aboard the Flat Earth cruise – just don’t tell them ...

Jan 10, 2019 · Flat earthers, who believe the Earth is a large disk, may be shocked to find the ship’s navigation is based on a spherical planet

If that were true, all gravity would be going down towards the moon ~ and not towards the Earth causing tides. Seems you’re a hypocrite or don’t understand it yourself.

Laugh all you guys want. Think I care?

So from your position wherever you are located ~ there are no sideways and upside existence?

@Uncommon Sense - still waiting:

So back to my earlier question: do you agree that Australia exists?

Ever hear of a pilot utilizing the 1,040 mile per hour spin traveling East or West?

From what I gather, saying god did it seems to be the same as saying gravity did it. Saying with god all things are possible is the same as saying that with gravity all things are possible.

Don’t have an answer for anything ~ just say gravity did it ~ or because of gravity! Anyone that disagrees with you ~ just tell them they don’t understand gravity or are a kindergartener!

Your questions so far really do suggest that you don't understand gravity.

This doesn't need to be something to be ashamed of; everyone has gaps in their knowledge. The real problem is refusing to correct the issue, which you do seem to be doing.

 

[Polymath257]

If that were true, all gravity would be going down towards the moon ~ and not towards the Earth causing tides. Seems you’re a hypocrite or don’t understand it yourself.

Why would you think all gravity would go towards the moon? The moon is both less massive than the Earth and farther away.

Laugh all you guys want. Think I care?

Yes, sideways is a direction perpendicular to the direction of gravity. Up is the direction opposite to that of gravity. In a different position, those directions will be different.

Nope. We have very specific rules for how gravity works. F=GMm/r^2 and F=ma. Those two laws give everything that you need when working with gravity (you have to use them in 3 dimensions and as vector equations).

The user I was responding to said that “down” is the direction of gravity.

Except that nobody is saying that "with gravity all things are possible" - gravity is governed by equations - this chap called Newton came up with them, perhaps you've heard of him (it's been superseded by a more accurate and complicated theory but Newton is quite good enough for Earth)?

...just tell them they don’t understand gravity...

You obviously don't understand gravity - why don't you try? Do you need help?

 

[Uncommon Sense]

Nope. We have very specific rules for how gravity works. F=GMm/r^2 and F=ma. Those two laws give everything that you need when working with gravity (you have to use them in 3 dimensions and as vector equations).

I could easily remove the gravity equation away and use density, mass, force.

 

[Polymath257]

The user I was responding to said that “down” is the direction of gravity.

Yes. And if you are close to the Earth, that direction will be towards the center of the Earth. Why would you think it should be towards the moon?

 

[Polymath257]

I could easily remove the gravity equation away and use density, mass, force.

The first 'gravity equation' describes the force of gravity given the masses involved and the distance between them. The second equation isn't specific to gravity, but works for *all* forces.

This is just yourself spouting more BS. I don’t believe in many things “biblical.” Just some more BS that people do to try and make someone look stupid with their ridiculous equivalences.

I’m playing devils advocate. It’s funny to me seeing a bunch of people who know nothing about me trying to demean and psychologically attack.

 

[Uncommon Sense]

Why would the moons gravitational pull cause the tides then on Earth? User stated the direction of gravity is down. The moons gravity would have no effects on Earth if he were right.
