What Is This Forum About?
This website is concerned with the advancement of The Flat Earth as taught by scripture (The Christian Bible) and science.
Is This A Joke?
No, this is definitely not a joke. This page is for the serious advancement of the Flat Earth as the correct view of the world.
Can I Just Post Some Random Stuff About It?
No, you may not post whatever you want here. There are rules (below) that outline exactly how you should post new threads.
Is This A Debate Page?
No, this is not a debate page. This is a page where the Flat Earth is advanced scientifically and biblically.
What Are The Rules Of Submission?
Every single post must follow a similar format as a scientific peer reviewed paper to ensure maximum certainty of the ideas presented. When you think you've found out how something in the Flat Earth system works, submit it with the correct format (below) under "Pending Hypotheses". After the post has been confirmed (see rules on that page's FAQ to see when it can be confirmed) scientifically, it will be moved up to "Confirmed Hypotheses". After the post has been confirmed there (see rules on that page's FAQ to see when it can be confirmed) scientifically, it will be moved up to "Confirmed Theories". After the post has been confirmed there (see rules on that page's FAQ to see when it can be confirmed) scientifically, it will be moved up to "Confirmed Laws". After the post has been confirmed there (see rules on that page's FAQ to see when it can be confirmed) scientifically, it will finally be moved up to "Flat Earth Facts".
But in any stage of the progression, a post can be pushed back to "Pending Revision", where a post has in any stage been refuted due to more scientific research. From there, the author must either revise the post to fit the scientific data (and have it go through the process again, starting in "Pending Hypotheses"), or remove it from the website.
What Is The Scientific Method Used Here?
The Scientific Method used for submission is:
1. Observation - you observe something with your 5 senses.
2. Hypothesis - you come up with an explanation of the observation.
3. Testing - you test the hypothesis with experiments.
4. Theory - your hypothesis becomes a theory.
5. Testing - you further test the theory over a longer period of time.
6. Law - your theory becomes a law.
What Is The Format Of Submission
The format for submission of new posts with new scientific hypotheses, theories, and laws are as follows with the scientific method:
ABSTRACT (A general statement that includes the observation, hypothesis/theory/law/, experiments/predictions, and results - all between 100-250 words).
INTRODUCTION (A given background of the situation and the purpose behind the post).
OBSERVATION (The observations seen and recorded by the author).
HYPOTHESIS (The hypothesis/theory/law that explains the observation).
POSSIBLE PREDICTIONS (A list of all predictions formed by the hypothesis if it were true).
EXPERIMENT (The method of testing of the predictions with either scientific experiments or a matching of natural predictions to reality).
RESULTS (The results of the experiment).
SUMMARY (A brief summary of the results and how it confirms the hypothesis).
REFERENCES (A list of references to footnotes in the thread. Must use this format (use as much info as possible): (Name, Title of Work, (State of Publication: Publisher, Year of Publication), Page Number - Section Title - Minute of Video, <URL Link>). For example: (Rickie Hammonds, Why The Earth Is Flat, (Florida: GoodBooks, 1999), p. 506)).
All of the above (excluding the Abstract and References), must contain at least 1,000 words.
