ZETETIC COSMOGONY:
OR
Conclusive Evidence
THAT THE WORLD IS NOT A
ROTATING—REVOLVING—GLOBE,
BUT
A STATIONARY PLANE CIRCLE.

R. A. Proctor, in his work "Our place among Infinities," pages 9 and 10, tells us that the earth was once a mass of glowing vapour,
"capturing then as now, but far more actively then than now, masses of matter which approached near enough, and GROWING by these continual indraughts from without . . . . . all that is within and upon the earth . . . . . are formed of materials which have been drawn in from these depths of space surrounding us on all sides . . . . . particles drawn in towards the earth by processes continuing millions and millions of ages."
This is written with as much authority as the writer could have had, had he been present when the supposed "spark" was "shot off from the sun." He writes as though he had carefully watched the spark grow bigger, age by age, until it assumed the proportions it had when it "began to cool down." He tells his story as though he had been an eye-witness of all the supposed processes during all the supposed "countless ages" until protoplasm made its appearance and life began to evolve upon the supposed globe. The reader is made to understand, from the "scientific" manner in which the mythical story-teller unfolds his mythical tale, that he, the retailer of the story, carefully watched the evolution of the earth until the time came when the astronomers were able to tell us "without the fear of contradiction" that the earth actually had taken all these millions of ages to evolve into its present form and size. Marvellous, is it not, and how very scientific, to be sure? The reader may pass over the whole of the foregoing extract from the pen of "the greatest astronomer of the age," for there is not one word of truth in it. It is the product of a fertile imagination, nothing more.
The world is much the same as it was in the days of our grandfathers, only the people now are more infidel than they were in those days. And since its creation it has not greatly altered, except as it has been altered by the universal flood in the time of that righteous man Noah. The flood disturbed the "strata" of the earth and broke up its layers, hence we find the bones of men and animals beneath the "crust," which fact causes infidel scientists, who are seeking a proof of the untruth of the Bible, to believe that the earth is many millions of ages old, and therefore not the earth of the creation as recorded in Genesis. The poet Cowper has well said:
"Hear the just law, the judgment of the skies,
He that hates TRUTH shall be the dupe of lies;
And he that WILL be cheated to the last,
Delusions, strong as hell, shall bind him fast."
And you buy into this all? A denial of a century of advances in science.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know you do. You'd like to turn back the clock to a time where everyone believed the earth was flat.., Where the bible held sway over intellectual understanding.
Back to the days of cult beliefs.
As witness:
ReplyDelete"The world is much the same as it was in the days of our grandfathers, only the people now are more infidel than they were in those days."
Infidel?? My, my..,
I wont spoil your fun, but heliocentrism is a religion in and of itself. One only needs to discover its origins, such as freemasons who admit in their publications they pray to Lucifer (the father of lies) is very telling. It was IN FACT a PRIEST that invented your fake globe.

AH here its is the classic "retard" copout to reason and logic.
And more confused Retards?
Professor Joseph W. Holden of Maine, a former justice of the peace, gave numerous lectures in New England and lectured on flat Earth theory at the Colombian Exposition in Chicago.
A Russian Physicist Boris Fedorovish on many science shows courageously admits what many others wont... On of the popular now "From Day of Russian science", he says ready for conversation and debate where he will be defending flat earth. (Most strange is that, he is usually supporter of official science)
Boris Fedorovich Boyarshinov, Russian thermophysicist, researcher: Achievements include research in methods of heat and mass transfer depression and and intensification in combustible gas flows, modeling of heat-mass exchange processes and of the reaction zone characteristics, finding organized structures in the boundary layers with chemical reactions, creation of several diagnostic methods and apparatures; 3 patents in field. - but also Doctor of Science in Physics

In 1515, a Polish *Priest named Nicolaus Copernicus proposed that the Earth was a planet like Venus or Saturn, and that all planets circled the Sun.
George Ellis, a famous cosmologist, in Scientific American, "Thinking Globally, Acting Universally", October 1995 =
"People need to be aware that there is a range of models that could explain the observations,” Ellis argues. “For instance, I can construct you a spherically symmetrical universe with Earth at its center, and you cannot disprove it based on observations.”
Ellis has published a paper on this. "You can only exclude it on philosophical grounds. In my view there is absolutely nothing wrong in that. What I want to bring into the open is the fact that we are using philosophical criteria in choosing our models. A lot of cosmology tries to hide that.”
"The new results are either telling us that all of science is wrong and we're the center of the universe, or maybe the data is simply incorrect"
- Lawrence Krauss, 2006
"Without Dark Energy, Earth must be literally at the center of the universe, which is, to say the least, unusual" - Lawrence Krauss, 2009
"..established consensuses / preys on our greatest weakness, which is the confirmation bias / get everyone to agree on facts," says Muller
- does not sound like proven Science or critical thinking.. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2699262-shaqs-flat-earth-jokes-are-no-laughing-matter-for-scientists
Max Born said in his famous book,"Einstein's Theory of Relativity",Dover Publications,1962, pgs 344 & 345:
...Thus we may return to Ptolemy's point of view of a 'motionless earth'...One has to show that the transformed metric can be regarded as produced according to Einstein's field equations, by distant rotating masses. This has been done by Thirring. He calculated a field due to a rotating, hollow, thick-walled sphere and proved that inside the cavity it behaved as though there were centrifugal and other inertial forces usually attributed to absolute space. Thus from Einstein's point of view, Ptolemy and Corpenicus are equally right.
"But when I was a student, I saw that experiments of this kind had already been made, in particular by your compatriot, Michelson.
He proved that one does not notice anything on earth that it moves, but that everything takes place on earth as if the earth is in a state of rest."
– Einstein May 1921
