  • as soon as I heard the word einstein I stopped weatching

  • @flatterearth fear of what? fear of your disproved theory? we think not.

  • @flatterearth you do realize if you go into space, you are also moving the same speed as earth? the earth won't leave you behind because of gravity AND there is no wind in space to stop your momentum. it's silly that people like you believe there is a notion of "down" in the universe. and the reason for gravity is that the earth is moving up. there is evidence all aROUND you that suggests that the earth is round but you are too blind and closed minded to see it.

  • Only reason ancient civilizations thought the earth was flat is because they didn't explore any distance from where they lived so all they could do was think it was flat...

  • @Ggiven2001 @Ggiven2001 god know's the world is round, he doesn't want you to be a fundamentalist that takes the whole bible literally. maybe god doesn't really think that, but the bible was written by imperfect men, not by god himself. the earth is round. you're not going to fall off the earth if it was round. you're falling onto the earth. if the earth was flat and you got over the edge, why would you fall if there is no gravity? why does the earth not fall?

  • @Ggiven2001 god know's the world is round, he doesn't want you to be a fundamentalist that takes the whole bible literally. maybe god doesn't really think that, but the bible was written by imperfect men, not by god himself. the earth is round. you're not going to fall off the earth if it was round. in fact you are falling onto the earth. if the earth was flat and you got over the edge by drilling through it or flying over, why would you fall if there is no gravity? why does the earth not fall?

  • @WMcalMW *you're

  • What your saying makes sense, guys come on he's not saying he thinks the earth is flat, he's just trying to rationalize why people used to think this, stop hating and open your minds!

  • @Ggiven2001 then explain how i fly from ny and dont stop untill i return to ny? or how about the Coriolis effect or circumnavigating the globe?
