So he's a liar

Well he does work for NASA,doesn't look good for him.
I'd say he's a complete fraud and liar but I'd still be willing to open dialogue with him and the FES about not wasting his life spreading the religious view of science and to open up and share what he knows about FE to the wider community.
I'd attempt to appeal to see if Andy the Aussie has any decency and to see whether he would be brave enough to speak the truth. It's never to late for anyone. We at the FES are very forgiving people,we also attempt to try and be understanding.

The 18 survivors, led by Juan Sebastián Elcano, of Ferdinand Magellan's Castilian ('Spanish') expedition (which began with 5 ships and 270 men); 1519–1522; westward from Spain; in Victoria. After Magellan was killed by natives in the Philippines on 27 April 1521, the circumnavigation was completed under the command of the Basque Spanish seafarer Juan Sebastián Elcano who returned to Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Spain, on 6 September 1522, after a journey of 3 years and 1 month.[1] These men were the first to circumnavigate the globe in a single expedition.
The survivors of García Jofre de Loaísa's Spanish expedition 1525–1536 including Andrés de Urdaneta; westward from Spain. None of Loaísa's seven ships completed the voyage, but Santa María de la Victoria reached the Moluccas before being wrecked in a Portuguese attack. Successive chiefs of the expedition (Loaísa, Elcano, Salazar, Iñiguez, De la Torre) died during the voyages. Andrés de Urdaneta and other fellow men survived, reaching the Spice Islands in 1526, to be taken prisoner by the Portuguese. Urdaneta and a few of his men returned to Spain in 1536 aboard Portuguese ships via India, the Cape of Good Hope and Portugal, and completed the second world circumnavigation in history.

Rick Hansen, a world-class paraplegic athlete, became the first person to travel around the world in a wheelchair on 22 May 1987, covering over 40,000 kilometres (25,000 mi) through 34 countries on four continents.[35]

You have seen the FE map? You can go round?

So nice it needs to be posted twice

from 10:20 in that video for MASSIVE proof it's all a lie.

That's not a map. No one mapped it. It's a drawing.

 

[CM86]

Are Indian (mainly Hindu) and Chinese (mainly Buddhists) space agencies also under Jesuit control?

They are all in on it.
Just look at Halley's comet! Chinese, Jesuits, even the Babylonians, they've been colluding since 240 BC!

Since being recently abducted by aliens, I have had my mind opened. I can't believe how blind I have been for my whole life.

I was a ball lover, but now I am on the side of the righteous. I am on the side of the Flatearth/Anti-Gravity Scientists.
I used to blindly love balls, now I lovingly embrace the ****.

Brilliant video.

I also enjoyed how he acknowledged the Lord for showing him the way. Very respectful. Never see that in the fake jesuit nazi nasa videos.

 

[CM86]

Just on Halley's comet.
I did a bit of research. Turns out Halley's comet is named after masonic jesuit Edmund Halley... Who was close friends with... guess who? That's right. Isaac Fake news Newton.
Like most of Newton's work, it wasn't holding up, so luckily his friend Edmund stepped in with some more bullshit, to explain away Newtons bullshit. And it was just accepted.


Another brilliant video calling the hoax for what it is.

Skip to 3mins in for some excellent break down on fake comet pictures, and how to tell if they are fake.

Yes, it's a drawing.
I've asked for the most simplest of things - a picture of the Flat Earth.
To date - nothing.

The picture you showed was flat though.
Are you confused,desperate or do you just not understand real science?

 

[pantskyle]

darthbards you are the biggest troll on the site, I salute you.

 

[darthbards]

darthbards you are the biggest troll on the site, I salute you.

What are you talking about?
The trolls or should I say cowards are the ball lovers to fearful to put up a ball loving thread on the fraudulent science board. They know they're ideologies are fraudulent so they have to concern themselves or even attempt to police others people's beliefs.
The fraudulent science board is a mortuary because the believers in that particular religion spend all their time trolling and derailing everybody else's threads.
And why the hell would anybody salute a troll?

Because it's commendable.

Only the ultimate troll would turn a blind eye to a satirical false article and continue to claim it as fact.

I think you might find the authorities are trying to make that story seem light hearted. At the FES we suspect foul play of our 27 fallen comrades.

 

[Quivorir]

So who here isn't trying to troll the Flat Earthers? Is everyone here just trolling them but nobody is actually a flat earther themselves?

I was convinced the world was round, until I saw this.

See you all, time to leave this board behind.

All this video shows is that some people will make stuff out of nothing to suit their argument.
He just took parts out of videos and said what it looks like what is happening in his opinion without knowing what's going on in the video with context etc.

Shit video, proves nothing.

Isn't it Titanic, don't ya think?

 

[GreyWind]

27 people dead in Antarctica would make it the 3rd highest death toll for accidents/disasters, pretty sure that would get a mention anywhere.
