Flat Earth

1. Find two pictures showing the earth is flat.
<1>Picture from: theflatearthsociety.net/forum/in...
The radius of the sun's orbit around the Earth's axis symmetry varies throughout the year, being smallest when summer is in the northern annulus and largest when it is summer in the southern annulus.













<2>Picture from: www.eruptingmind.com/success-fac...
The clouds are gathering. We can see the beauty sight form this picture. The two ships are sailing in the blue sea. They are churning the wonderful waves. Or maybe those are not sea, they are mountains. It seems like that the left ship would fall off!! That's explain earth is flat. People would not sail too far into the distance for fear of falling off the ends of the earth.









<3>. Picture from:
www.icis.com/.../sustainability/
The earth is flat and the moon orbits in a "halo" type configuration above the earth. This hypothesis predicts that the moon's distance distance from any point on earth will vary widely with time. Sometimes moon will going as far as doubling it's distance from a given point on earth. That's all because the earth is flat!









2. Imagine you are a person who believes the earth is still flat today. What are 5 reasons to support your argument that it is still flat?
<1>. The Bible itself implies the Earth is flat (for example at Daniel 4:11 or 4:8 in Catholic Bibles)If the
<2>. Earth were spinning, all the continents would move toward the equator.
<3>. When you look at pictures of the round Earth taken from space, you must remember that gravity bends light so straight objects appear curved and curved objects appear straight.
<4>. The horizon is a straight line that we see.
<5>. We only can see a flat land when we try to capture the shape of the earth, because the earth's actual size is too huge.




















3. Do you think human beings have a false concept of the earth and the universe today?
Yeah, I do think human beings have a false concept of the earth and the universe today. "Flat Earth" is a very good example to explain that. In the past, people used to think that earth is flat. But in this modern century, people can use high-techniques to discover that actually earth is round. Technology is developing rapidly, it still has a lot of space to develop. So it means humans have more ability to discover the unknown things. People used to define the earth by eyes, but they will find the mistakes they made with the technology develops.

    You need to use more of your own words to explain your ideas. Explain what you understand about the picture. Think more deeply about the ideas.

    Not your best work, but overall a good job.
