@POPSNNOP You're really stretching on this. Ignoring the fact that marching bands train in both balance and marching without looking both forwards and backwards. inanimate objects do not care about your fleshy meatbag balance issues. .....by the stars being further away than the sun is? Why is this a hard concept? Look. Go put on object on the ground and step over it. You notice how you're surrounded by the same walls except that now the wall that was behind you is now on the opposite side of the object? Now do it in a larger building, like an auditorium or a football field. See how the walls change less the further away they are? Now do it in an open field and you'll see that the further and further away they get, the less the changes will be. That's how parallax works. The stars that can be seen all year round aren't on the opposite side by the way. They're on the ceiling above your object.

The Flat Earthers usually either assume only we are moving, or the movement of all the stars is random with no pattern. It's not. The other stars are also moving at breakneck speed in roughly the same direction we are around the center of a giant space whirlpool. If you want to know how objects can stay in the same positions while moving, take a look at any marching band.

You can lie all you want, but that doesn't make it true. What's it like being a servant of Satan? Are you being paid well for it or are you just that stupid? Surely you realize that people like you go around falsely accusing anybody they don't agree with as being "satanists" are going to be thrown in Hell too when judgement comes.

Marcus, just as a head's up, it takes less than a minute on Youtube to find videos where the P900 "brings back" a boat that's simply too small to be made out from shore, then attempts to zoom in a second ship that's even farther away, and FAILS to bring it back even after zooming in to the point that the camera loses all definition. The Flat Earthers really don't like you mentioning that. Light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation pass through a vacuum. Sound does not. The idea that light needs a medium is an extremely outdated claim from the 1800s. That was called "luminiferous aether" and science abandoned it for lack of evidence over a hundred years ago.

@POPSNNOP A marching band doesn't need knowledge of its other members' movements to maintain a pattern as they travel in a mostly straight line. You can blindfold them and as long as they are facing the same direction and moving at the same speed, they will stay in that formation FOREVER (or at least until they hit something) regardless of whether they know what their members are doing or not. And while the fact that we're traveling in a circle will EVENTUALLY cause the stars to move out of formation as the inner and outer objects circle at different rates, you're looking at millions of years for single rotation vs a mere 5,000 years of written history. Mankind will be extinct and the Earth retaken by sentient chihuahuas long before anybody notices. How the blazes does moving in the same direction imply anything about the sun being the center of the universe? The trombone at row 7, 2nd from the left isn't the center of the formation and isn't the drum major, and yet still marches with the rest of them.

As a reminder, all of those ancient cultures also believed in magic, monsters, and ghosts.

@danesimmons7059 Prove the bubbles are bubbles. The last one I saw looked angular, and bubbles are generally round. Probably shards of ice or pieces of debris. I also saw a Flat Earther try and claim it "came from the helmet" and thought I wouldn't notice that their "bubble" was already visible in the first frame, then got mad when i told them to show the full clip to see where it really came from.

The bible is clear. According the Genesis 1:29, the manchineel tree is not poisonous.

Sheeple was popularized by a con artist that was run out of town by the UFO circle as a fraud after they caught him fabricating "classified documents he saw in the military" out of both pure nonsense and plagiarized versions of their other members' work.

@mitchellbirkhead9214 3,000 is a very, very small number compared to the MILLIONS of scientists, engineers, and architects in the US alone as of the last census. You are vastly, vastly outnumbered by the number of engineers that are either neutral or believe the official story. Also, as I recall, most of those 3,000 had never worked on the types of building in question and a sizable percentage of them were students that had no field work at all. Students, of course, being a demographic that is stereotyped for having a distrust of authority to begin with. I also do not trust conspiracy theorists to not lie about their professional opinion in order to push their personal ones, not when you have "photographic experts" analyzing the Apollo photographs and pretending to not know what a lens flare is. Tell me, are the donations being put towards actual research with demonstrable results, or is the leader just living like a king because he's receiving more in donations than he makes from his actual job? The last time I looked into the 9/11 conspiracy claims, I left DISGUSTED at the bullshit you're willing to do and put up with. Did you know that Silverstein never actually said to "pull it"? It was a quote by the fire chief regarding pulling his forces to prevent further loss of life, and yet your side twisted and warped it into Silverstein "calling for the buildings to be destroyed" with a quote that was actually said by a completely different person. And yet you'll tell me that "that's not important and to look at the real issues", because conspiracy theorists are cowards that don't give two shits how much their own side lies as long as it opposes the big bad evil government and convinces others to do the same, even if they join by deceit.

@R3C0RDBREAK3R Genesis 1:29 " And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchineel God's a dick. Considering that the fruit of the manchineel will leave you praying for a quick death, to tell man that they can eat it proves he's either a liar, a sadist, or both.

The Bible says in Genesis 1:29 that God gave ALL fruit-bearing trees to man as food. Read as written, that includes the fruit of the manchineel tree, which is so toxic and corrosive that merely standing near one in the rain can blind you. If you are unfortunate enough to eat the fruit and live, you will be left praying for a quick and merciful death that will not come because any God that tells the mortals that that hellspawn is edible is not only a liar, but a massive sadist to boot.

@stevenpoynter9982 ..... buddy, if a rocket hit your dome, it wouldn't just "stop moving in an instant and not move 1 milometer farther" unless it's made of a magical substance that negates all momentum. it would CRASH and be completely destroyed, fuel exploding, parts breaking apart and being crushed and spinning wildly off course. You want to see what it'd be like? Go fill your car with explosives and then gun it straight at a brick wall.

@stevenpoynter9982 Then you should be questioning whether or not your "amateur rocket" video is actually true.
