Carl Froch is a flat earther...

So....get this. You are traveling in a plane at 500 mph. You are traveling in the opposite direction that the earth is spinning (1000mph). You should be able to fly to your destination 3 times faster (1500 mph over the ground surface).

We all know that this isn't the case.

Nice hat.

That makes no sense at all. If you are travelling in the opposite direction to the way the earth is spinning then you are travelling at the speed you are travelling at, 500mph. The speed is always relative to the earth which is considered motionless. Where did you get 1500mph from??

Shit... I really never considered this.

Looks like a twat not surprised

Flat earthers can't even decide on a map to use because the distances between things never add up. There are also plenty of pictures showing curvature yet there isn't one single picture of the edge of the flat earth. I wonder why lol

Theres the "edge" of the Earth

Now show us a curve that isn't a cartoon or CGI or a pic taken with a fisheye lens...

That's an ice shelf. Nice try though

This level of retardation belongs in the War Room or the Heavyweights. Thanks.

The Earth spins at 1,000mph

You don't even know your own "facts"

You and me are on the earth you idiot and we have the same momentum as the earth! If you jump straight up do you land in the same spot or not?

i dont understand why people argue about this....

lets say, just for devils advocates sake, the earth is flat...what are the flat earthers going to say then?

"We told you!!"
"The government is lying to you!!"

Not exactly like they dont all the time...there are better things to worry about in life

Sadly, these individuals don't do common sense.

Why even lie about it in the first place? So Earth is flat... so?

Also very true, people like to have things to cling on to though, like they are part of some movement i guess?

Part of it is to make you feel insignificant. You are just a tiny speck on a large rock hurtling through space at 500,000 mph with 100 million other galaxies etc.

What kind of makes sense in this horseshit is that flat earthers do crave for feeling significant, no matter how dumb they’ll sound. The need to feel special that’s been the bread and butter of any cult in history. It’s no rocket science (the kind of science they have a hard time trying to master, BTW).

Yeah you hit the nail on the head. Like all cult believers, they like to think they are the special chosen few. Admitting that in the grand scheme of things they are very insignificant doesn't sit well with them because it doesn't play to their over-inflated egos.

Nasa would be the cult though no? Isn't the burden of proof on them?

The main reason why many people question the spinning ball theory is because there aren't any real pictures of earth from outer space. Not one. We can take pictures of every other planet, but not our own for some reason.

Also, people are capable of lying for their own benefit. Especially small elite wealthy groups of people. But you go along now, and do as you're told.

Do as people believing in magic tell you. They certainly deserve more credit than NASA. It’s not like they’ve been proven wrong for 6 centuries or so.

God describes how He created the heavens and the earth. How he separated the waters above from the waters below. Ever wonder why the sky is blue? Theres water up there...just as God says.

Bible describes a flat motionless earth. God says it shall not move. Spinning ball theory attempts to discredit the bible by saying the earth is a sphere spinning 1000mph and hurtling through space at 540,000 mph or something.

God says you are special and created in His image. Not some speck on a rock hurtling towards disaster.
