No, gravity is the result of centrifugal force (meaning fleeing from center)...as when a ball spins and revolves at the same time.

But think about it (I can't believe we're having to have this elementary discussion), if a flat earth spun--yes--one would jump off a cliff and go sideways, or open your door on one side of your house and it would stay open, but on the other side it would slam shut.

This flat earth stuff is just brilliant. Brilliantly messed up that is.
What exactly are you saying "No" to? You quoted my entire post that has many concepts contained in it.

Please speak clearly and precisely, Scott. Please speak clearly and precisely.

What do you expect someone to think when they write a complex message containing many concepts, including an open question, and you reply with "No..."?

Also, I didn't question what causes gravity in that post.

My point was if mass pulls things in, why aren't things pulled into cliffs during free fall near cliffs? If the cliff mass is closer than the ground, it should produce observable results and work to pull us in, even if on a miniscule level. What do you think?

Gods word is always being challenged for it can never be "on trial".

The "Trial" is Set in Place by GOD and the Date is Set in Revelation 20:11-15

WARNING: DO NOT wait for that Date, for no one escapes with their life.
You believe the earth is flat.
Using a clock-style earth map that YOU TRUST, what are the cities or towns closet the the 3,6,9,12 positions ?
Not a hard request David, why are you avoiding it ?

Based on a clock-face type flatearth map of the world that they trust ask them which city or town is closet to the 12, 3,6,9 oclock positions.
I can already see the era steam & the side stepping :)
LOL - the side stepping is asking for a flat map with cities

I'm starting to think keeping a glober on track in a conversation might be more difficult than refuting a flat earth model.

And yet, God describes in detail the creation is a circle, not a globe ...it is fixed, unmovable, with foundations, and a firmament ...with luminaries IN that firmament ..with waters above and below the firmament. Why not believe Him?
We see Israel on a globe map so why is it hard for a flat-earther to list a clock style map that THEY TRUST which shows the cities or towns closet to the 3,6,9,12 positions ?

My goodness. Please clarify what this means, @rvmb .
My goodness, it may have been a computer/internet glitch :)
Now back to the clock-style earth map TRUSTED by flat-earthers, which cities or towns are closet to the 3,6,9,12 positions ?

What does you being happy and willing to learn have to do with keeping you on track in a discussion?

Please be happy to go back and answer my messages toward you that you (happily?) ignored.

Yes, ignore works when unable to answer questions that destroy your credibility, ignore away, ps I never run & hide :)

Personally, i do not need a globe or a flat earth map = neither do i trust either

But i found this for you = for you and NOT as evidence

You say that as you run from my question that you quoted.

I can see how you apparently fell into believing NASA.

Easy request Rudo :)

Don't be a hypocrite, rvmb. First address the request you first avoided:

Were you by chance setting up to propose this following experiment?

  1. Hypothesis: If earth is a globe (If X), then poles will produce different lengths of shadows (Then Y).
  2. Experiment: The poles produce different lengths of shadows (Y).
  3. Conclusion: Therefore, the earth is a globe (Therefore, X).
Also, rvmb is asking me a loaded question that assumes I trust a clock style map, like he's some sort of goofball.

According to scripture which is the Word of God, your globe earth map is false. You can't even do what you're asking others to do.

No, but rather one group's science and claims compared with another group's science and claims.
AGREE - and my next comment is NOT directed at you my Brother

Yet, if one's trust and faith is in science rather then the Word of God = they still burn

This is the TRUE Science that you and i want to be ENVELOPED IN = 1 John 3:1-3

Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called sons of God!
Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.
And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
