Darkness surrounds a spherical earth because spaces itself is black.

Space is black because light needs to reflect on something before it gets to your eyes to see it.

So the only things you see are those that reflect the sun's lights. If nothing is reflected then you only see pitch blackness.

The same thing with heat, the sun's rays create heat only when it hits something. If the sun's rays does not hit anything, then the sun's rays travel in almost absolute zero space. This explains why the higher you go the colder it becomes. The sun's rays hit the Earth's surface and heats it up, so the atmosphere is getting most of its heat from the ground and not directly from the sun's rays. The only exceptions are gasses in the outermost later of the atmosphere that gets heated directly by the sun's rays.

you have been a a serious joke since this thread started. I don't care about my followers on nairaland my aim here is to spread the message to those who can think for themselves. I have been here since 2009 with very few post. The flat earth thread I created is my most viewed thread since I registered here So why do you expect my following to be much. I have challenged you before now to try and disprove my assertions only for you to cowardly dodge. I know you are here as a troll to creat distraction and make the whole flat earth thing look like a joke and that's why I have been ignoring you and you know that.
If your cowardice will let you, pls come at me with your rebuttal to any of the flat earth clams I have made. That is how we will differenciate from who is serious and making sense from who is a joke

Thinking out loud. How come virtually everyone who is anyone, in the block, had a sun god to worship, but the Yoruba and/or Ibo seemingly never had any sun god to worship?

I know all that. I get all that, but I am talking, specificallyof the sun god. Yoruba and/or Ibo worship rivers, trees, rocks etcetera but why does it seem that the sun slipped through their net of worshipping it, like some others widely did or do? FOLYKAZE, I think your valued expertise on indigenous mythology and/or pantheon, is requested and/or need here about this, lol.

to believe the flat earth cosmology, you have to disbelieve the globe earth cosmology. In the flat earth cosmology there is no space. The earth is the center of the universe.

There are so many problems with the globe earth cosmology, and that is because it is all a lie. Like I said before the problem with lying too much is the fact that you do Not know when you contradict your self.

It is often said by heliocentrist that venus and Mercury can be seen at night with a telescope. But they forget that these two so called planets orbit the inner most circle of the solar system which faces the sun so therefore they cannot be see at night because the earth will be facing the dark side of the the solar system at night. Guess they forgot about that because heliocentrism is not just a lie but it is a big lie.

wirinet:

Still advertising your ignorance. All these questions had been answered again and again, but of course, you are never interested in learning, only mindlessly pushing a religious dogma.

If you were interested in really learning why we see venus and Mercury even as they are in the inner orbits, read some information here - https://astronomy.stackexchange.com/questions/21941/how-can-we-see-venus-at-night

so you've found your voice again, I am not going to any site post it hear for all to see. Remember I told you that you don't have the right to call any one ignorant because you have displayed first class ignorance hear I see that you have no shame only replying when you think you've found a fault.

what the hell are you talking about which of your questions have I dogged? You are the one dodging my questions when I asked you about the earths tilt and gravity, you promised to answer but never did.

budaatum:
Yoruba religion did not rely on going directly to Olorun (Lord of Heaven and all that's in it)), as we had more immediate practical things to take to our practical earth living (sub-)gods to solve. The sun will not stop lions eating you, though it was recognized for putting food in your belly if properly 'worshipped'. Ultimate glory for everything however was to Olorun who is the God of everything, including the sun, even when you went through gods of iron or smallpox to acknowledge that fact. Its like going through a pastor today to get to God. Some things just remain the same.

FOLYKAZE:
Muttley, Obatala is the deity of light, that covers everything that illuminate, including the sun.

my friends have answered those questions repeatedly..,, you and your alternate moniker emusan dodge my questions.

wirinet:

You are not going to any site to learn real astronomy, but you went to pseudo science sites to post stupid inaccurate graphics showing venus and Mercury cannot be seen from earth.

I have achieved my aim of countering your Crazy flat earth theology. Most people don't take you serious and only one or two fellow ignorant religious fundamentalists support you.

I decided to reply your post about venus and Mercury not being visible from earth to inform others who are truly interested in learning how and why they are visible from earth.

You are already a lost cause, you believe flat earth as a religion. Even if Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos or Richard Branson takes you to space to see the round earth in one of their proposed space tourism programmes expected to start operating within the next few years, you mind would still not be able to process it. You will still find more ridiculous theories on how they are deceiving your eyes to see round earth. Imagine the craziness of saying videos of space were filmed inside water.

EMILO2STAY:


these are the rants of a mentally exhausted and frustrated atheist.
There is no single explanation for seeing venus and mercury at night when they orbit the inner most part of the solar system.

Your only achievement here is exposing your ignorance and disgracing yourself. You could not even counter just a single one of my flat earth claims but you shamelessly claim to have countered every thing, sorry for you.

There is a video of buzz aldrin admitting they never went to the moon, There is a video of an amateur rocket attached with a camera to it, when it was launched it climbed several altitude high up,.. suddenly hit something and stopped. A clear evidence the earth is closed system.
But sheeple atheist like you believe Elon musk, Jeff bezos and Richard Brandon can go to space.

NASA admitted they have never been beyond low earth orbit that they are building and testing orion which will allow for explorations beyond low earth orbit, but the same NASA went to the moon which over 200,000 miles away in 1969.

severally bubbles can be seen rising up in many of the so called videos of the ISS. Like I said an astronaut nearly drowned in space while aboard the ISS, what will make an astronaut drown in space?.

They have fooled you and you have bought every thing they feed you with because of your willingness to believe and desire to accept their falsehood to keep your atheistic false hope alive.

I hope you guys know I was interested in the Yoruba and/or Ibo worshiping the the object, the creation, the sun as a god. It is because of the seemingly apparent relationship of flat-earthers with sun worshiping.

MuttleyLaff:
but I am talking of the sun being the object of worship as done by others like the he Egyptians, to the Greeks, the Hindu Indians, the Mayas of Mexico and Central America, the Incas or South American Indians of the Andes region, the Japanese, etcetera. The Yoruba or Ibo, must have known something for not joining the bandwagon that took fancy to worshiping an object of creation, the Sun, so I thought.

MuttleyLaff:
FOLYK, I wonder if in the Yorubas and/or Igbo mythology, they are flat-earthers.

I don't know where you got your information from but I can bet it with you that you no one ever said you can only see Venus and Mercury at night. I've seen both Venus and Mercury in the evening way before the sun sets or after the sun rises depending on where they are. You didn't perform actual experiments, you were told by FErs and you just believed.

For your informate on a clear morning check tomorrow 5:30 am in the east you'll see Mercury. You might thing it's a star but it's a planet. Planet: To the unaided eye, these planets appear starlike. However, the planets moved relative to the stars. For this reason they were called wandering stars. Our word "planet" comes from the Greek word planetes, meaning "wanderer." because in a few months it won't be there anymore and after a few months it will change to been seen before and after sunset from before and after sunset. Time to see Mercury is shorter than Venus. You'll see Venus setting with the sun till at most 7:30pm. Today.

Do the experiment yourself or you can decide to shout "It's a lie"

You have the freedom to believe whatever you believe.

You will never see these planet after those times.

FOLYKAZE:


Can this observation be carried out in our obodo Nigeria?

I will like to see those planets.

How and when can I see venus and Mercury pls?

Horlufemi:


If you don't know you can already see them here then you have no no knowledge on this subject matter flat Earth and co.

Yes you can I've already stated there you can see them

Tomorrow morning if it's clear wake up 5 am start watching the east, you'll see Mercury, it looks like a star. I won't vex if you say it's a lie but every week keep checking it after months you won see it again.

This evening from 5 pm look the west you'll see one bright star that's Venus.

Both planets either rise before or sets after the sun.

Use this app for guidance. Sky map by Google. GPS and Data are the key requirements. Use better phone with good GPS o.

I used to enjoy start gazing but Lagos pollution and light pollution is killing the show to only the brightest stars. Still planets are bright enough.

I don't know if portharcourt sky isn't as polluted as Lagos but I beg you look for the Big Dipper constellation watch it all night (I honestly don't know if it's moved to day time or night time) I pray it's in night time. Or the little Dipper they don't rise and set they rotate. It's more easier to understand if you are in countries like Russia.

Look for the southern cross constellation too. I hope it's in night time. The movement action the sky is like following a curve. Make friends in South America, South Africa and Australia.

If they can see it at night at the same time South of them the Earth is not flat.
