Thru careful research, and utilizing his great knowledge of geology, Dr. Scott has proven that the earth is flat. This is backed up by the evidence in Genesis Chapters 1 and 2, written by Moses. It is later independently confirmed by some of God's other prophets and apostles.

Quote:

Isaiah 11:12, "he...shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth."

Quote:

Matt. 4:8 "Again, the devil taketh Jesus up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world."

Quote:

Acts 10:9-15 About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray. He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance. He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles of the earth and birds of the air. Then a voice told him, "Get up, Peter. Kill and eat." "Surely not, Lord!" Peter replied. "I have never eaten anything impure or unclean."

So it is irrefutable, the earth is flat! We have 4 witnesses to these facts, and a man with a PHD who proves the geology is true. This has been thoroughly research, by a man who has no peers: Dr. Scott's. For proof of his knowledge, just listen to his audio and video on the web.

Defenders of Dr. Scott: prove me wrong

So the Jackass is quoting people who died long before we got into space? Shit If the Earth is flat then I am Xena Warrior Princesses.

I'd gladly push Dr.Scott over the edges of the Earth.

The shape of the Earth

This thread comments at one point that a Biblical inerrantist actually must conclude the earth is flat! I agree with that conclusion. I think YEC's should be told that Satan is also misleading them about the shape of the earth and they really should be promoting the truth as found in God's word!

Got it - that's when God laid down all the fossils and put the Marsupials in Australia!

Pro thread tbh.

Just in case anyone didn't catch on to the dripping sarcasm of the posting, I have no knowledge that Dr. Gene Scott believes in such. The intent was to make a point, for a user here, that appears to be infactuated with this source. And the above is the general form of argumentation. And since the person will not provide detailed quoting of this web preacher, we can only counter the generalized conclusions that are proffered, and claimed to be sourced from Dr. Scott. And of course I/we have our wrong conclusions due to our own incorrect world view...

wait a minute, the last quote from Acts doesn't necessarily say the earth is flat, but that the sheet is flat. Reread:

subject of clause: large sheet
predicate of clause: being let down
Advancement where: to earth
By what means: by its four corners
The antecedent of its: sheet

Refutable
