Sheldon Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 I didn't see anything in your post that references the supposed curvature of the earth. Quote
13511 Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 I didn't see anything in your post that references the supposed curvature of the earth. No, it gives you factual information involving gravity, which controls the flow of water downhill. If the mouth of the river is to the north and the head is from a mountain to the south, guess which way it's going to flow (hint, it follows gravity which forces water to flow from the high point to the low point).

Sheldon Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 guess which way it's going to flow (hint, it follows gravity which forces water to flow from the high point to the low point). Up a huge curve... hahahaha. Okay. Quote
13511 Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 Up a huge curve... hahahaha. Yeah, all intelligent beings know that it should flow up the mountain instead of down. Quote
Sheldon Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 Yeah, all intelligent beings know that it should flow up the mountain instead of down. I don't recall arguing about any mountains, please quit attempting to have me say something I didn't. I stated it couldn't flow up over the curve of the earth. Quote
SneakyDave Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 If the argument is that a curved earth makes rivers flow around the curve, then you must think that on a flat Earth, there would be no rivers, they wouldn't "flow" at all.

Incorrect. There is still height above sea level (called level for a reason). It still has to flow to the lowest spot, which is again, the sea. Quote
SneakyDave Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 Incorrect. There is still height above sea level (called level for a reason). It still has to flow to the lowest spot, which is again, the sea. So rivers aren't allowed to do that on a curved earth, or are you saying that on a curved earth, all the water would roll "off the ball" so to speak?

Sheldon Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 I don't give a shit how much water there is in that river, there isn't enough for to move it upwards on 500+ miles. Quote
13511 Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 Incorrect. There is still height above sea level (called level for a reason). It still has to flow to the lowest spot, which is again, the sea. And the sea can be north of the rivers headwaters.... thank you for proving the point above reference gravity. Quote

13511 Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 Again. The curvature of the earth. 4000 miles. You read only what you want. Pot, kettle is calling you. Apparently you didn't read that link.... should give you plenty to peruse.

MGM Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 That's about as silly as the guy pouring water on the lemon. Gravity doesn't cause everything to flow south. Gravity pulls towards the earth, not south. Quote

SneakyDave Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 How does a river flow on a flat Earth without gravity Quote "I wonder if wife Susie knows about the vile crap he posts on his site and how it fits in with her "youth ministry"?" - Dr. Howard Rosenzweig, former owner of TheAdminZone
Sheldon Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 How does a river flow on a flat Earth without gravity Gravity has nothing to do with what I posted. The 4000 mile river flowing UP over a curved earth. Quote
SneakyDave Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 How do ANY rivers flow on a flat Earth? Quote "I wonder if wife Susie knows about the vile crap he posts on his site and how it fits in with her "youth ministry"?" - Dr. Howard Rosenzweig, former owner of TheAdminZone
Sheldon Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 How do ANY rivers flow on a flat Earth? Again, that isn't my question. Continue deflecting. Quote
