No just no if the earth was flat we could easily travel out to the end of it and just fall off and surely someone would have found the edge of the earth by now and if anyone believes the earth is flat I would strongly suggest a mental exam

Well then you're clearly in need of some research. Let me educate you on something...

All flight paths are controlled, secondly we wouldn't 'just fall off'. There is an ice barrier surrounding the edges of the earth. This was discovered by Sir Admiral Richard E. Byrd, a U.S Naval officer. His findings are very well documented, and also the reason behind the Antarctic Treaty. Which have martial law put in place to stop any independent explorers behind a certain point in 'Antarctica'.

The fact you automatically assume anyone with this belief needs a mental exam. Very well proves your educational ignorance, and the fact you are not willing to view from new perspectives. A.K.A you have a closed mind... Not trying to be rude of offensive, but it's true.

The firmament itself, was discovered first by James Clark Ross, born in the 1800s. His findings are also very well documented.

And Wernher von Braun, essentially the father of NASA. Invented specialised rockets for both the Nazi's and the U.S. Not only that but he invented his own, and also conducted his own projects. It was supposed that he found the dome when launching his rocket. And it's why his grave stone reads; Psalm 19:1, referring to a phrase in hebrew texts.

Reading: The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. If you are intelligent enough, I'm sure you can figure out what that is insinuating.

The fact the man behind the biggest space agency in the world, found this. Would explain a lot as to why NASA go through all the trouble of covering it up. People ask for a motive for this huge cover up. There you have it. You always assume that there is no one who has found it. But you don't take the time to even look. If you did, you would know about these men. It proves you do not care, it shows you jump to conclusions. But yet... You are cheeky enough to call educated people, idiots. Lol.

This is quite possibly, the most COMPLETE AND UTTER BS that i have seen this year.
You said:
'Which one is it? Pear shaped, an oblate spheroid or a perfect sphere. All supposedly 'credible' sources saying different things. '

The earth is very slightly pear shaped. However, they just dumb it down for idiots like you. (It is extremely slightly pear shaped, it is totally imperceptible to the human eye). When it says that the earth is an oblate spheroid this is also true. The shape of the earth changes over time due to factors like the position of the moon and the movements of earth's molten core.

'My point is, NASA are blatantly lying, in your face. And the official image of the earth, is infact a fu**ing CGI created image. A bad one, actually.'

The reason why those tiny spots repeat is because that isn't one individual photo, it is numerous photos all stitched together. The reason why this happens is because the cameras on those satellites can't take photos that are wide enough photos to get the entire earth. And btw, if it was a CGI image
(it isn't), it would actually be quite a good one, not a 'bad one, actually'.

'All 'official images' of the Earth. And yet the colours are changing and so is the landmass.'

These are all official images of the earth. The reason why they change is because the cameras that are on those satellites change. I mean, it's not like we're going to be using cameras from freaking 1980 when we're in 2016. The landmasses are changing, believe it or not, because THE EARTH SPINS YOU IDIOT!

'It is rumoured to be 99.9% accurate, the most accurate map to date.'

They key word in this sentence is 'rumoured'. By the way, where the hell did you find that this is 99.9 percent accurate ??? The maps that us NORMAL people have are actually as accurate as possible.

'This is where it gets scary'

Oohhhhh SO scary

'Or like the NYC skyline for example, taken from over 20 miles out. '

Where exactly does it tell you that it is taken from 20 miles out. Also, the buildings in NYC are TALL.

'But as there a number of possibilities why zero-g can be performed; 1 being Parabolic Flight, the other being the speed and position of such flight. The other I'm not fully aware of, so if you would enlighten me, I would appreciate it. '

Astronauts in space are NOT in zero-g. They are actually experiencing about 96% of earths gravity. The reason why the don't fall back to earth is because the are moving really really really fast. Like, 9 kilometers per SECOND kind of fast. Because they are going so fast, when they fall back to earth, they actually miss and keep going around the earth.

'Ultimately, just remember, biblical explanations have been around longer than the theory of evolution. '

Dude, just because something's been around for longer than something else, that doesn't mean its true. BTW Christianity has more holes in its logic than swiss cheese.

interesting and long topic

Wow. This post had really opened my mind

You had good points, and I can't quite think about the right answer. Saying the world is flat sounds stupid, and when you try to explain it, you bore the person to death.
But some of the points in here were actually kinda true if you think about.
Its just that one person alone cant fund enough to go to space and actually find out, so we have to trust NASA cause they are massively rich, but doesn't mean they're trustworthy

I think your thinking way to hard bout this and are being hard headed imo

The earth is actually a hot dog. How? Well, some person said it 20,000 years ago so it must be true.

GG

Okay wow you really changed my outlook on this theory...

This scares me
