Was the Earth ever flat? Well science is divided on the matter but many now believe that the Earth was flat up until the global flood

that wiped out the dinosaurs 4000 years ago. Indeed many of these scientists believe that it was the waters that cascaded down from the firmament that rounded off the Earth and changed it from being flat into (in the words of Mike deGrasse Tyson) 'an oblong Haemorrhoid'.

I am aware that this post is very scientific and that many of you simply do not have the science background that is required to debate this type of thing but it would be fascinating to hear your views. I thank you.

Don’t you ever pay attention??? The great turtle who balanced the flat earth on its back died 4000 years ago and the tears from the dinosaurs filled the earth’s terrain until it crumbled, filled up the upside-down turtle shell (because they flip upside-down when they die), and solidified into a sphere. The dinosaurs actually jumped into the muddy sludge, sacrificing themselves to the great turtle table top.

@AndysAttic I’m afraid I didn’t explain my theory verily clearly. These creatures are called buttheads and when they open their “mouth”, well…must I be graphic????
AndysAttic · 56-60, M
@Pinkstarburst No, that is perfectly clear, I think you are alluding to the greater, purple, polka dotted underground stone eater.
Pinkstarburst · 51-55, F
@AndysAttic My findings have shown that they look like regular humans with only this one genetic mutation.

If the Earth was flat then cats would've thrown everything off the edge.

If the Earth was flat then politicians would've thrown their opponents off the edge.

@Laffytaffy Hey ...
Best Reply I have Ever Heard
To Dispute those Endless and Sensless ..... "Flat-Earter's"

Gave me a Good Laugh !!

As a side issue here, that Mike made the switch from boxing to becoming such a renowned astrophysicist is remarkable and truly inspiring. A lesson for us all. All things are possible.

@SW-User I'll bet he was studying astrophysics all along and never said anything about it.

@Nitedoc A man of few words!

@SW-User Probably had an ear in his mouth when someone asked him about it.

@TheDisciplinarian He is a very distinguished respected university professor. He wouldn't know a joke even if it bit him on the butt!
TheDisciplinarian · 61-69, M
@hunkalove Maybe so...
Yet...He Must be Joking Now..in his Belief and Assertion of Flat-Earth B.S.

I Really like LaffyTaffy's response

No one but a fool believes that

There is no evidence of a global flood
specman · 51-55, M
@Pinkstarburst are you joking?
Pinkstarburst · 51-55, F
@specman Are you taking this post seriously????
specman · 51-55, M
@Pinkstarburst not really

If the earth was flat like a rice cracker , would we see darkness on one side and sunshine on the other ???

Would oceans get cold / warm ?
Would waves fall off the edge of the rice cracker ?

And would we rotate faster ?
Would we have less than 24 hours in a day ? Would we have ice ?
scorpiolovedeep · 46-50, M
Don’t know … all these questions and many more pop up when we say flat Earth @MrBrownstone
Pinkstarburst · 51-55, F
@scorpiolovedeep It’s all done by magic
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
@MrBrownstone Absolutely nothing... the Earth is falling towards the Sun at a tremendous speed

Oh, pity this wasn't an April Fool's Joke!

Hmmmm....I'm not sure that 'many' scientists will agree with your statement, as you suggested. Maybe some time away from the internet and with friends might be more helpful?

I'm not from a scientific background, however, even I see...ahem....'flaws'...in this theory!

😘🤣😘
Nitedoc · 51-55, M
@CassandraSissy It wasn't? You think he's serious?
CassandraSissy · 26-30, TVIP
@Nitedoc Well, look at the date, sweetie! It's dated 8th April...far past April Fool's Day!

No real scientist thinks the earth is flat or ever was flat.

Hey NiteDoc

Not cool..I Didn't say anything Wrong
Sheesh
Hope I Never run into one like him at any Conferences
( a Very Poor and Closed Mind..if one asks me )
