Also my final comment would be something about the so called "Nasa financial conspiracy"
ROFL.
that's all bullshit, the coriolis effect included. Your trusted elders lied to you. Also fake: mountains and underwater.

LOL. LMAO. ROFL. wow. that's just stupid.
"Don't mention this on a public forum. NASA agents will now track your whereabouts with dark energy trackers and stratellites - if you ever come within 1000km of the great ice ring expect to be abducted by cyborg penguins."

AND FINALY, THE FLAT EARTH FAQ. loltastic.
http://theflatearthsociety.org/forum...8&topic=1324.0
also, i wanted to add some things a critic said about the FlatEarth Theory.
"The polar projection of the flat earth creates obvious discrepancies with known geography, particularly the farther south you go. Figure 54 inadvertantly illustrates this problem. The Zetetic map has a severly squashed South America and Africa, and Australia and New Zealand in the middle of the Pacific. I think that by the 19th century people would have noticed if Australia and Africa were thousands of miles further apart than expected, let alone if Africa was wider than it was long!
The Zetetic Sun, moon, planets and stars are all only a few hundred miles above the surface of the earth. The sun orbits the north pole once a day at a constant altitude. The moon is both self-illuminated and semi-transparent. Eclipses can be explained by some unknown object occulting the sun or moon. Zetetic cosmology is 'faith-based', based, that is, on a literal interpretation of selected Biblical quotes. Hell is exactly as advertised, directly below us. Heaven is not a state of mind, it is a real place, somewhere above us. He uses Ussherian Biblical chronology to mock the concept that stars could be millions of light years away. He attacks the concept of a plurality of worlds because no other world than this one is mentioned in the Bible.
Rowbotham never adequately explains his alternative astronomy. If the Copernican theory so adequately explains planetary motions, why discard it, and what would he use in its place? What is the sun orbiting around once a day and how does it work like a spotlight, not a 'point source'? If the moon is self-luminous, what creates its phases? If gravity appears to work here on earth, why doesn't it apply to the celestial objects just a few hundred miles up? "

They are man. Ive looked through a bunch, there is a wacko there named Tom something.... hes got a bunch of shit on it. Though i believe none of it. These are jsut a bunch of attention whores.
Q: "What about Lunar Eclipses and Moon Phases?"
A1: The moon isn't a spotlight; it glows with light from the sun, reflected off the Earth. Different parts of the Earth are more reflective than others (the seas, the polar cap, the ice wall, for example). Sometimes, the position of the sun (which is a spotlight) means that only very low-reflective or non-reflective parts of the Earth's surface are illuminated, so the moon is abnormally dark. This could potentially explain lunar phases as well.
A2: An invisible celestial body, known as the Shadow Object, gets in front of the moon.
Quoted from the FAQ
Great for lols =D
