The earth is FLAT!!!!!

[prendrelemick]

...because the Nile flows uphill towards the north!
or are all of you in...um...how do you Americans say...? "de Nile?

thats so bad its good.

[kasie]

So, seeing as the world is flat, if I dig a really deep hole, where will end up?

At the bottom of a very deep hole. Where would you expect to be? Doh.

[The Atheist]

But why does it get sucked up downwards?

Dear god, give me strength to resist the ignorance in this thread!

When the water falls off the end of the earth, it goes outside the atmosphere, where the sun is. The sun is hot, and turns the water to steam, which then rises and becomes clouds.

Crikey, this is Meteorology 101.

Look how much water flows from rivers into the sea, yet does the level of the sea ever go up?

Idiot scientists will tell you that the water evaporates from the oceans, but have you ever seen steam rising from a kettle? It looks like clouds. Hold a mirror above a kettle and it gets steam on it.

Have you ever seen the sea steaming?

[Whifflingpin]

"Have you ever seen the sea steaming?"

I think I have, actually, but I might be confusing the memory with something else.

Still, thanks for the explanation.

Oh! Does the Earth have a centre? If so, is it still Jerusalem? Do the seas flow directly away from the centre to the edge or...?

[Niamh]

I'm the centre of the Earth. didnt they teach that to you in college?

ah yes the good old weather cycle! Gotta love the steamy haze at the edge of the earth were the water reaches and evaporates into clouds!

That's why, at sea, the horizon is always hazy.

Some people need to get out more.

So wait, I've been working on this hole I'm digging to China. When I break through the last dirt with my little shovel, am I just going to fall into a black abyss instead of coming out in a foreign country?!

No you will just end up on the other side of the earth. With the small town of people with backwards faces called lakjd;flkjadlgja;lkh;lkjg;laks;lj's. Man people are stupid. All these questions! Isn't it obvious enough just to walk outside? Anyone can see that its flat out there. DUH!!!!!!

Thank you Jesus for this purity and wisdom that you have thrust upon me.

Do not, under any circumstances listen to kevin, the aptly-named dilz on this.

Your first premise is quite correct - you would fall out of the hole into The Abyss and it ain't pretty down there. There isn't any air, either. I think kevin's trying to do you harm!

Bottom of the world, my foot.

Even the charlatan priests of science won't attempt to defraud the public with claims of tunnelling "through" the earth.

Scientists claim to have sent robots to Mars.
They absurdly claim men have walked on the moon.
They claim one of their rockets has passed Saturn.
They claim to have seen the very bottom of the sea, some 10,000 metres down.

But not even a scientist will claim to have tunelled deeper than 4000 metres, because they know damned well they'd be falling out the bottom!

DAMN YOU ATHEIST!!!!!!!!!!!! You have foiled my attempt to get rid of yet another non believer.

KEVIN!! I thought we were FRIENDS!!!!

[billl]

If anyone digs such a hole, then all of the Earth's atmosphere would drain out. This was what the villain was working on in Ian Fleming's unfinished James Bond book Doom Drill.

[kevinthediltz]

KEVIN!! I thought we were FRIENDS!!!!

I only tried to kill you because you are a non believer that obviously has no faith whatsoever and obviously is no where near as smart as I am...

We can still be friends if you admit that I am right and come to the dar- er.... christian side.

YOU'RE ALL STUPID!!!!!!!!!!

Now don't be offensive, kevin! *Wags finger*

I did go to a catholic high school and wore a kilt every day. Does that count enough?

On a serious note, I have no problem with faith. But when a person legitimately believes a crazy notion because of nothing but the bible, it gets on my nerves a bit. And makes me wonder....

SO yes I guess you're ok.
