    Majority lives in a bubble ?

    So you think the earth is flat then? I guess science and the quran together is incompatible to you...
    Ever heard of someone fall from the edge of the earth into a deep dark space or have you actually seen the edge of the earth yourself?

    Here's a reference for you

      I know the earth ain't a spinning ball.

      I guess science and the quran together is incompatible to you...

      The Quran taught me to proceed by inquiry (zeteticism), instead of guessing.

      ~ Can you provide one single quranic passage in support of a spinning ball-earth ?

      Ever heard of someone fall from the edge of the earth into a deep dark space or have you actually seen the edge of the earth yourself?

      This supposed to be a valid argument (against the earth being flat) ?!

        @OP, relying on CA lexicons (alone) would lead to bias. Etymology is crucial here.

        Look up the root dy (da) in the whole shemitic tree, particularly in Aramaic.

        ~ The Quranic tongue is older than any Arabic lexicon out there.

          Ever heard of a ship falling from the edge of the world on fox news?

          Please don't think shallow about the design of the earth and the sky.

          Do you think humans could easily get out (or escape) from this amazing & magnificent "cage"?

          I think the answer is NO because the mobility of humans is restricted (confined) inside the earth and the sky. The design of the earth and the sky is an irrefutable proof of the existence of the Creator.

          But, as I told you, I'm not in the mood to discuss about flat earth right now.

          I'm sorry, but currently, I have more important/serious thing in my mind which need to be handled.

          Peace.

            Shalom Aleikhem,

            Please don't think shallow about the design of the earth and the sky.

            Yeah! Let us not be shallow and invoke science here, the only method which consistently and reliable produces results. Let us be more deep and rely on introspection and meditation and prayers for answers to questions about physical nature of the universe. I'd really love to read all the papers on this topic that you have published and got peer reviewed by people studying the same field. Oh wait! You don't have any!

            Do you think humans could easily get out (or escape) from this amazing & magnificent "cage"?

            Yeah, exactly! Why would he even think that the theory of gravitation actually works. I mean, it's not like it has been tested millions of times already and it's not like the people studying in the field ever managed to validate the theory. It's not like we ever heard of a thing called "escape velocity". All of that is fiction. Every objectively verifiable study produced by all the greatest minds working in that field are all just fiction. What is truth is your privately held beliefs about the matter which you conveniently pulled out of thin air.

            I think the answer is NO because the mobility of humans is restricted (confined) inside the earth and the sky. The design of the earth and the sky is an irrefutable proof of the existence of the Creator.

            Please give me the link to your paper that you published on this issue. I am really interested in reading this multiple nobel prize worthy paper that will completely refute all the knowledge we have acquired throughout the ages about physics, geology, cosmology,astrophysics, etc. God! You must have some tremendous credentials. Even if you don't exactly have degrees in anything, I am sure you are the greatest genius to have ever lived. I have not come across anyone with an intellect like you. For real! Refuting that many branches of science at one go? That takes more than being genius.

            Peace

              I know the earth ain't a spinning ball.

              He is the One who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon, each swimming in an orbit.
              I suggest that you read a little more careful next time

              Earth's motion
              2788 You see the mountains, you think they are solid, while they are passing by like the clouds. The making of God who perfected everything. He is Ever-aware of what you do.

              Other translations by different translator from time to time even before the moon landing
              http//islamawakened.com/quran/21/33/

              The Quran taught me to proceed by inquiry (zeteticism), instead of guessing.

              Yeah i bet you're doing great on that right there buddy...Zeteticism means believing in facts rather a theory right? Please tell me when did the earth's shape is just a theory?, When did billions of dollars of tax payers went to waste on space research? If you're so confident that the earth is flat why don't you explain to me in detail, or maybe even better, actual proof since you believe in facts(Zeteticism) instead of theory,right? right?

              It seems you have failed to provide answers from my previous questions and label them as invalid because you've no idea how to explain your so call fictional flat earth theory...

              ~ Can you provide one single quranic passage in support of a spinning ball-earth ?

              He is the One who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon, each swimming in an orbit.

              The land after that, He made it like an egg.
              The Arabic word dahaha comes from root dahy, which means egg.
              (Can't believe i'm repeating myself)

              Majority lives in a bubble ?

              But you're not wrong on how we live in a bubble shaped earth though...see right there buddy? You're going somewhere after all!

              This supposed to be a valid argument (against the earth being flat) ?!

              Go back to sleep !

              You're telling me to go back to sleep as if you're telling me to stop believing in reality and dream like you're doing now...
              I suggest you stop watching internet top ten conspiracy videos on the internet and focus on common sense

                Sigh* ... dear Lord!

                2133 doesn't support a spinning earth! Nor does it give mention of the earth in the first place. Rather, it edifies that each of the two luminaries, the sun and the moon, has an orbit of its own.

                No "spinning" earth here, sir!

                2788 doesn't say the earth is moving ! For once, you're taking this passage out of context! See 2787 to understand what i'm talking about. Further, al-gibal, lit. means the formations, and stands for landforms (in general). The Quran differentiates between the (flattened) earth/ardh, and the (erected) formations/gibal (that make it fixed/stationary) .... The quranic term for mountain is 'tor' ~ it occurs 11 times in the Writ (10 + tod, a scribal error) ...

                No "spinning" earth here, sir!

                7930 doesn't say the earth is "egg-shaped" !
                You're just parroting sunnis! Heck, there is no such a vb. as "make egg-shaped" !

                No "spinning egg-earth" here, sir!

                Ps. I intentionally said "go back to sleep"
                because i want you to do the exact opposite ... it's a matter of ego.

                  Alright! Let me then ask you this question What do YOU THINK the verse is referring to?

                  As I said, I have not studied it in detail, hence slotting in the various possibilities. If you have knowledge that some of those possibilities are not possible, I would be grateful if you were to post such evidence.

                  If I had to decide what it meant, I'd go with either it referring to hurling/driving the earth with regard to its rotation/motion, or, expanding/spreading with regard to earth volume or habitable land mass.

                  All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

                    It seems we have a different interpretation and root words that we use and both of us think that we're right but you seem to reply with such a harsh accusation that i'm parroting simply to fulfill your so called selfish "Ego"
                    But answer this question using your skillful expertise of your Flat earth theory

                    1.Explain night and day cycles using your flat earth theory

                    2.Explain why in some region snow and some don't using your flat earth theory

                    1. Explain that if your flat earth theory is correct, and you imagined it as some kind of a plate with an edge then how come no one ever fell out of it like food accidentally falling from a plate...using your flat earth theory

                    4.What is underneath the flat earth?

                    1. Explain why does a ship disappear when we watch from a afar or seashore,using your flat earth theory

                    Answer these questions if you're truly confident in your position that the earth truly flat, if you say one more time that these questions are "INVALID" then you've became someone not worth replying to

                      You simply have to ignore

                      • The speed of light
                      • The size of the sun
                      • Oceanography
                      • Geology
                      • While we are at it, all of earth science
                      • Everything we know about how nuclear fission works
                      • Everything we know about how gravitation works and what it would do to the multiple bodies
                      • Everything we know about how radiation works and what it would do to the multiple bodies
                      • Everything we know about optics
                      • Mathematics cannot be involved anywhere
                      • Oh and please ignore science altogether

                      2.Explain why in some region snow and some don't using your flat earth theory

                      Will of God. (Alternatively "magic&quot

                      1. Explain that if your flat earth theory is correct, and you imagined it as some kind of a plate with an edge then how come no one ever fell out of it like food accidentally falling from a plate...using your flat earth theory

                      That's a silly question. Magic happens as you reach the edge and it appears to you as though there is no end. You just come out the other opposite end of the plate. I know you will say now that then it sounds like exactly what to expect if it's a spheroid. But you are just wrong and stupid for not believing in magic.

                      4.What is underneath the flat earth?

                      Flat-not earth.

                      1. Explain why does a ship disappear when we watch from a afar or seashore,using your flat earth theory

                      Because you have poor vision. I know that you will now say that when someone uses telescope, it makes no difference. You still see the ship from bottom-up with the telescope, which can only happen if there is a curvature to the plane. Since this happens everywhere on the planet, you will say that then the entire thing must have a curvature. Based on it having no edges and having curvature, you will conclude that there is no way that this is not a spheroid of some sort. I know you'll make that mistake.

                      The answer to your problem is this we have optics figured out wrong. Every study on how light works is wrong because I said so. Therefore what you see is not what you get. All you have to do is to simply ignore how light behaves and also basic mathematics.

                      Peace

                          The same reason the sun does.

                          The eyes' field of vision is finite; anything that continuously moves away from you towards the horizon will eventually vanish from your sight. Our visual perception is subject to the law of perspective.

                          What is underneath the flat earth?

                          Try digging.

                            The answer to your problem is this we have optics figured out wrong. Every study on how light works is wrong because I said so. Therefore what you see is not what you get. All you have to do is to simply ignore how light behaves and also basic mathematics.

                            Yeah... i mean...what did science ever done for us anyway? Modern medicine, surgery, public transportation...Screw it! We should all be living in a hut communicating with smoke to our neighbours!!

                              The same reason the sun does.

                              The eyes' field of vision is finite; anything that continuously moves away from you towards the horizon will eventually vanish from your sight. Our visual perception is subject to the law of perspective.

                              Try digging.

                              Out of 5 questions you can only answer one bravo... i thought that a man that believes in zeteticism as you claim to be can answer all of the 5 questions above since you guys believe in facts...

                                Your 1st question has already been addressed countless times by FET advocates! Look it up! Why insist on me spoon-feeding you when the info u seek is available online for everyone to scrutinize ?! Too lazy to do ur own homework ?! or feigning ignorance ?

                                2nd question is, with all due respect, brilliant !

                                3rd question is loaded.

                                4th & 5th were answered.

                                Ps. since u've failed to provide quranic evidence in support of ur "spinning Egg-earth" (or "ball" for that matter); i suggest using ur so-called "science" to refute my first argument (19th reply).

                                      ~ What was it that makes you think the earth is a "spinning ostrich-egg" again ?!

                                          Out of 5 questions you can only answer one bravo... i thought that a man that believes in zeteticism as you claim to be can answer all of the 5 questions above since you guys believe in facts...

                                          Not even that was an answer. You can't even add lenses(telescope) to correct for the deficiency of the eyes and see what his idea would predict you'd see. The guy didn't even get what we were talking about. He thought, AS PER HIS RESPONSE, that we are asking "why does the ship vanish". He totally missed out the part about vanishing FROM THE BOTTOM-UP part of it, which is what gives it away that there is a curvature.

                                          Also that he talks about how we can't see the sun because it is out of our visual range. That is one of the most ignorant statements ever uttered on this forum. He probably believes that we shoot out beams out of our eyes to see. Or may be something similar. I have no idea how given what we know about the sun and it's size and radiation powers, why it's rays would fail to reach us after moving only that little distance! I mean........... REALLY?!?!?!

                                          Don't know if it was here or somewhere else where I asked about this guy's credentials/background. Now I don't need the answer. I can tell that he doesn't even have the basic understanding of high school level physics and mathematics. The level of ignorance demonstrated by some people can be incredibly embarrassing.

                                          Peace
