I fail to see the connection between flat earth thought and the Destiny video game. I also will never understand how you and others can honestly believe the world is flat in 2016, with the over abundance of evidence that is available to us all.
I would bother writing more to express my opinion on this matter, but I feel it's quite frankly a waste of my time. Instead, I will present all the evidence you should ever require to see that this world we live on is in fact round.

Thanks for the response and links m8! I'll take a look at them. Thought, or rational evaluation of ideas, is the connection (as I see it) between Destiny and the Flat Earth. In a figurative way, Destiny shows how important light is in comparison to darkness. But what is the light and what is the darkness? I see it as thought and ignorance. Thought is light, ignorance is darkness. When we think (even if we are wrong), the mere power of that thinking banishes the darkness. Thought changes our reality, just as light and darkness change our reality. In terms of what "evidence" to trust about the earth, be wary of what science claims. Science does not use real observation to understand the world. It interprets the world according to a predetermined system of belief. That system thinks that if you repeat something enough times, eventually it will back up what you think is true. But see the problem? If you run a beaker thorough the same spinner enough times, eventually the data is going to support what you think is true.

Also, clouds would have a skewed perspective from a distance, because if curvature was accuracate, you would start seeing the sides of clouds instead of the bottom as you move further and further away. Yet, we are still able to see the flat bottom of clouds for as far as the eye can see.

You linked a huff post article = opinion invalid. Also, flat earth theory was the established theory for thousands of years, and was only relatively recently changed to the glove model. One can look at a variety of factors to see why that's the case. Do a shred of research about the earth being flat, and your eyes will open. I started looking into flat earth as a naysayer, and now I couldn't believe the earth is a globe ever again.

DUDE!!!! Have you ever been on a jet? You can see it yourself.
-
See what? From a jet, you cannot observe curvature of the Earth. Also, planes use different leveling measures and vacuum technology to ensure comfortable flights. Because of this technology, you cannot "feel" any curvature as you fly. This doesn't validate either theories, planes are a bad method of experimentation for either theory.

Ok bro, whatever you say. You should do humanity a favor and not reproduce.

Flat Earth theory is for the young, naive and gullible. I mean, we have satellites and telescopes and probes and rockets all painstakingly launched according to calculations tuned to our planet being a globe. On top of the reams and reams and reams of pictures of our globular planet. And on top of the little clues that even the Ancient Greeks picked up on.
-
Also, the largest invalidation of the globe model is our ability to see structures from hundreds of miles away in a straight view through binoculars or telescopes. If the earth was truly a globe, there would be several hundred meters of curvature every 30-50 miles. Meaning, that structures in the distance would have a significantly different view from a distance as they would up close. This point has been documented over and over again.
-
There are also NO pictures of our entire global earth. Every single image is simulated, and the actual pictures taken from space only show specific quadrants or sections of the Earth, never 360, panoramic, or full views.

Do you know, for a fact, that there are satellites that even exist? There are plenty of communist nations that feed their civilians propaganda about a variety of things that aren't based anywhere near fact. Do you know, for a fact, that said satellites are based on a globe model? Because it is a proven FACT that GPS systems actually have to made accommodations and corrections to their pathing in certain areas to account for the lack of curvature in the globe. Did you know, that there are naval military experts that have come out testifying that the flat earth model is more accurate than the globe model according to their own naval expeditions? Did you know, that both poles of the globe are shielded from any mapping, and are not allowed to be viewed by any civilian? Also, antartica, while not allowed to ever be owned or acted upon by military organizations by a specific nation, is guarded and protected from civilian access and exploration by a national military coalition. Antartica truly holds the answers to the question of whether the earth is flat or a globe, and yet that answer is denied by military force. Did you know, that ancient civilizations created extensive maps and models documenting the flat earth, and the mechanisms surrounding it's function? Until you've done any research on the topic, please don't doubt it.

[quote]Do you know, for a fact, that there are satellites that even exist? .[/quote] 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Yeah, tell you what, we are the only flat planet in all of existence, everything scientists the world over present to each other and the world at large is all a conjoined worldwide governmental conspiracy 😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏

It's funny that people very easily accept the idea that Earth is the only planet with intelligent life, yet cannot accept we may be the only planet shaped like a disc. There's actually a lot of religious texts that lend credence to the reasoning behind why the Earth would be the only disc shaped planet. I'm not religious, but they do present decent points.
-
Because the evidence for a disc shaped earth is flawed at best, flies in the face of basically all established knowledge, physics and what can be seen with ones own 2 eyes. Pardon me for thinking that a race that cant get along with itself suddenly and mysteriously collaborates to mislead the masses over the shape of the planet. Theres not enough tinfoil in the universe for that...
