No true flat earth proponent ever claims that the earth is just a disc in space. The important thing about our model is that the earth

is quite literally the FLOOR of the entire universe, but the shape itself is not what is important. It is the fact that it gets rid of outer space and makes the sun, moon and stars much closer and all contained within the firmament, as Nikola Tesla noted. There is a dome/firmament covering the earth, which technically makes the earth model spherical, but not a sphere we are standing on, but a sphere we are in. And the most important thing about our model is that God is literally right on the other side of the dome. It makes Him much closer. The geocentric flat earth dome model is indeed true, which is why planetariums are shaped this way. This model changes your entire philosophy and worldview. It makes the house of cards fall down; it destroys the big bang, evolution, panspermia (aliens seeding mankind). It moves us from a place of nihilistic indifference (as a mere spec, a pale blue dot) to metaphysical importance.

Well, that has certainly brightened my morning. I do like surreal wit!

So... you have showed beyond all reasonable doubt and none shall question otherwise, that we occupy the bumpy surface (by deep oceans between continents with high mountains) of the solid floor of an Earth-based Universe, revising Aristotle's concept of concentric spheres centred in the Earth.

Ummm.... [i]Awkward Question Time:[/i]

So on what is this floor standing?

Is it infinitely deep?

Or is it a finite disc 8000-miles thick (revising the "diameter" given by the clearly incorrect hypothesis of a spherical planet)?

If a disc, is it resting on something else drifting through infinite Space, perhaps the giant turtles and elephants suggested in the [i]Discworld[/i] novels?

Or simply floating through Space with no visible means of support?

Could we launch a probe that would fly round and return with photographs of its presumably-flat underside, or the giant beasts?
You are not the first to present this. I will ask you the same questions I pose to others after the presentation.
1. What are the measurements of this floor called Earth? What are the widths and lengths?
2. What is the shape of said floor: square/ rectangular/ oval/ octagon?

Perhaps you could be so kind as to supply the answers.

@onrealityofdreams I would be lying if I said I knew the measurements, the widths and lengths. No one knows. The shape of the floor, however, is circular (round). Circumnavigation can work on a circular dish and so can the seasons, night and day. Here is a GIF of the floor (earth) and an image of the entire model. Hopefully this helps:
@SW-User Thank you for your reply. Is there anyone who has been to the edge of the Earth? If so could you name that person and direct us to an eyewitness account of that visit. Accompanying photos of that visit would be helpful.
If it's still spherical then it's not flat

@Tinkles I am not trying to argue both ways, it is a sphere that we are within, and there is a dome over us. It is partially my fault for not explaining the entire model. I mentioned the flat floor, but there is also the section underneath that floor, which is the location of hell. This completes the cosmology. Let me show you an image so that you can get a better idea of what I am talking about:

But God, for most who believe in Him, is in their hearts. That's even closer.
Zeusdelight · 61-69, M
@SW-User So you are relying on a physical concept of Heaven for spiritual beings?
SW-User
@Zeusdelight It's not just about the spiritual. It's about the physical also. We have a body, soul, and spirit and we were made in the image of God - the Godhead or trinity is a Body (Jesus Christ) Soul (The Father) Spirit (The Holy Spirit). Eventually our physical body will be raised and we will be given a glorified body. A physical glorified body, which will be in heaven. Jesus said in Luke 24:39 after he rose from the dead, "Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have."

There is the kingdom of God, which is a spiritual kingdom within the body of Christ or within each believer, but there is also a physical kingdom - the kingdom of heaven. And yes, in heaven where God resides, it is an actual physical location where Jesus has prepared physical mansions for his people.

The spiritual and physical go together.

@SW-User Ah, but is obvious from the Gospel tales after the resurrection that the physical had changed. Many who knew him before did not recognise Him. We do not know what the physical will be.

You are eventually going to kill someone in order to save them from satan/lizards/chinese/democrates.

@canusernamebemyusername Eh? Theirs may be a totally dotty notion but at least it's apolitical and harmless!

Where is the edge? That would be a sight to see!

I always wonder about how geo-synchronic satellites and GPS's work with this flat earth thing too!
SW-User
@Oberon1 The “geostationary communications satellite” was first created by Freemason science-fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke and supposedly became science-fact just a later. Before this, radio, television, and navigation systems like LORAN and DECCA were already well-established and worked fine using only ground-based technologies. Nowadays huge fibre-optics cables connect the internet across oceans, gigantic cell towers triangulate GPS signals, and ionospheric propagation allows radio waves to be bounced all without the aid of the science-fiction best-seller known as “satellites.”


Satellites are allegedly floating around in the thermosphere where temperatures are claimed to be upwards of 4,530 degrees Fahrenheit. The metals used in satellites, however, such as aluminum, gold and titanium have melting points of 1,221, 1,948, and 3,034 degrees respectively, all far lower than they could possibly handle.


So-called “satellite” phones have been found to have reception problems in countries like Kazakhstan with very few cell phone towers. If the Earth were a ball with 20,000+ satellites surrounding, such blackouts should not regularly occur in any rural countryside areas.

So-called “satellite” TV dishes are almost always positioned at a 45 degree angle towards the nearest ground-based repeater tower. If TV antennae were actually picking up signals from satellites 100+ miles in space, most TV dishes should be pointing more or less straight up to the sky. The fact that “satellite” dishes are never pointing straight up and almost always positioned at a 45 degree angle proves they are picking up ground-based tower signals and not “outer-space satellites.”

People even claim to see satellites with their naked eyes, but this is ridiculous considering they are smaller than a bus and allegedly 100+ miles away; It is impossible to see anything so small that far away. Even using telescopes, no one claims to discern the shape of satellites but rather describes seeing passing moving lights, which could easily be any number of things from airplanes to drones to shooting stars or other unidentified flying objects.

NASA claims there are upwards of 20,000 satellites floating around Earth’s upper-atmosphere sending us radio, television, GPS, and taking pictures of the planet. All these supposed satellite pictures, however, are admittedly “composite images, edited in photoshop!” They claim to receive “ribbons of imagery” from satellites which must then be spliced together to create composite images of the Earth, all of which are clearly CGI and not photographs. If Earth were truly a ball with 20,000 satellites orbiting, it would be a simple matter to mount a camera and take some real photographs. The fact that no real satellite photographs of the supposed ball Earth exist in favor of NASA’s “ribbons of composite CG imagery,” is further proof we are not being told the truth.

@SW-User Wow! That is one heck of a stretch! I know that you guys don't really believe what you claim to believe, and are making these ridiculous assertions for attention, but it is entertaining to see your input! Thank you.

It certainly would, if there was any truth to it :P

If we live in a "dome" why has no one bumped into it?
