Did they?
Fascinating.
Post their proof that the earth is a sphere.
Man has supposedly been going to space for 60+ years.
There is
still no uncut video of a rocket going from earth to space.
It is not incumbent on me to provide the certain motivation for a crime that has been committed. I just notice that a crime
has been committed.
The curvature for your globe is simply -----> not present.
If you want to come in here and make the fantastical claim that water is clinging to the outside of a flying, spinning ball, then show us the science experiment that backs this up.
I have given my answer to the "Why do they like to us?" question many times.
Short answer, and this is just my opinion...
In the middle of, and toward the latter half of, last century, rockets were able to go up to an extent by which it became possible to verify the shape and nature of our earth.
It was found that the earth is "flat," stationary, and enclosed by a firmament.
Then those who were in command, those in charge of these efforts, had a decision to make.
The prevailing view at this time was that the earth is a globe, so the powers-that-be chose to lie to the public and tell everyone that yes, the earth is a globe, and we are going to space, we are going to the moon, etc.
Why did they choose to lie?
"Science," or "atheism" had culturally, in the Western world, gained the upper hand over "theism," going back many decades before rockets started going up.
To admit that the Bible is correct -- that the earth is indeed flat, stationary, and enclosed, would be a HUGE victory for theism.
It is very hard to deny a Creator when the earth is flat, stationary, and enclosed.
Those who were in charge of, or deeply involved with, sending rockets up were firmly in the "atheism" camp.
They were not going to turn society back over to the thumpers, and especially when it would now abundantly clear that the cosmology presented in the Bible is accurate.
So, they lied.
And they doubled, tripled, quadrupled, down on the ruse.
Build up a space organization.
Fund us," they say. "We are doing great things for human advancement!"
We send NASA over 50 million dollars a day in 2024.
"We're going to the moon..."
"We're going to Mars..."
"We're going... everywhere..."
And NASA is a lying propaganda vehicle that the people are forced to fund.
The lies of NASA have been well documented by me over the years.
NASA is a joke.
So, the motivation is, in my estimation, money, power, and to keep God hidden.
Victory for the atheists.
Those who believe what the Bible says are idiots. Not to be taken seriously.
Keep the thumpers down and marginalized.
Etc.
So it goes.
