What's up with this "Flat Earth" nonsense gaining so much popularity?

[Master Teacher]

It is settled, that's the thing. Unless you think every astronaut, pilot, sailor, explorer, and mathematician is lying. For over 2000 years.

Why don't the flat earthers pool their money or crowdfund for an expedition? Why can't they just take a ship and go to where these infamous ice walls are?

If its settle then why is this being disgusts, what astronauts? How many astronauts do you know?

Like I said, its not settled because nobody has ever photographed the Earth from space, all the pictures of the Earth from space I illustrations that is just a fact

With HD technology why haven't been back on the moon to capture the surface on HD and get an HD video of the Earth from the moon, because they never went in the first place

You telling me technology is worst than it was in the 1960's lmao, please man, use your brain stop making excuses for these people, the moment people stop questioning what is told to them and just accept whatever explanation is given, people will accept whatever draconian laws are passed like the patriot act for an example

Ive been saying im arguing against darwinian evolution, not sure how you missed that.

I didn't miss it.......THAT IS THE STRAWMAN!!!!!!



I keep telling you that you're arguing an incorrect position and whether (or not) a lot of people believe it to be the case (or not) is immaterial.

The fact of the matter is that the actual argument is not IF 'evolution' happened, but HOW.

Arguing against a strawman is easy. People who believe we evolved from fish or chimpanzees don't understand the theory and calling them 'Darwinists' is a misnomer. They are science fetishists. Actual 'Darwinians' believe evolution occurred through purely material/natural forces.​

You're just parroting objectively disproven nonsense.

That is a fact.

This photo is from Apollo, 1972......

This is from DSCOVR 2015......

This is from Hayabusa, 2004.......

There's even a satellite that takes pics every 10 minutes.....

Japan’s New Satellite Captures an Image of Earth Every 10 Minutes

Most satellites are at a low Earth orbit which explains why many photos of the Earth are, indeed, 'shopped'. Every space agency that has made these photos available has readily admitted that, but there's a very good reason for it:

While there are many satellites constantly capturing their views of the earth, most do so at low Earth orbit, a distance too close to see the whole earth at one time. Taking a photograph of the earth from low Earth orbit is like trying to take a selfie with your phone an inch in front of your nose.

There are several independent nations that have taken photos of Earth from space. You need to ask: Why would nations that were at war with one another (United States, Russia, Japan) and are now competing for business, globally, all of a sudden agree that the Earth is round?

Wouldn't it make FAR more sense if the nation(s) that actually knew the 'truth' and could prove it, objectively, speak out and knock ALL their competitors out the box?​

y'all do realize that the large majority of "flat-earthers" are actually just trolls right?

the amount of ppl that ACTUALLY believe this is pretty small.

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Falt earthers gotta be dumb af.

 

[mbewane]

The intellectual dishonesty goes even further : when discussing these things, non-flat earthers (it even feels ridiculous writing that) have to explain EVERYTHING in detail like they have a PHD in physics, astronomy, mathematics, etc. At the slightest thing they cannot explain, flat-earthers will say "AH HA! CAC SCIENCE SHEEP".

So instead of trying to explain why Earth is round, let's ask flat-earthers some questions :

- What is on the other side of Earth? How would one get there?

- How wide is flat-Earth? (It's not totally flat, since we have subways and whatnot)

- Why is the Earth flat, but not other planets? Or are they too? If so, where is the proof?

- What is at the end of Flat-Earth? Has anyone been there? Is yes, where is the proof? What does it look like? If not, why not?

- Every conspiracy/lie serves a purpose. Since you say that "round Earth" is a conspiracy, who benefits from it? And how, specifically?

Shhit the earth feels flat to me.

THANK YOU.

It's like going back and forth with a kid that is convinced Batman is real.

You can tell in one post whether the person you're arguing with is open to evidence, rational analysis etc, or if they are just a moron with internet access. Once you've determined they belong to the latter, just disengage/ignore.

You're running around in circles. I dont care what you call it, i wasnt even talking to you. Im talking about everyone else who believes in the stupid shyt I mentioned. And guess what, its the majority of people. And they refer to "scientists" and "science" books to support their blind faith. When the word evolution is used, it generally refers to evolution of kinds into other kinds. Adaptation is different than mainstream understanding of evolution. Im glad you dont think that way, doesnt mean everyone else doesnt.

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

You're running around in circles.

Not at all. I'm sticking to ONE point and only one. Your argument is a strawman. As a matter of fact, YOU were the one who stated the argument you're attempting to refute......​

You were a fish breh?

Why arent fish jumping out the water and walking on land breh? Why arent monkeys turning into humans breh?

Oh I know cuz the process takes millions even billions of years, well we are right dab smack in the middle of that process breh. Or wait, maybe its just because I dont understand "how" croclution works

I've stated it a few times that the argument is not IF evolution happened, but HOW. The only person running around in circles, is you refuting your own argument since the person you replied to never stated the argument you're trying to refute which is textbook definition of strawman as you're arguing against a position he doesn't even hold.

To quote my cousin during a xmas party where my uncle got drunk n was going off about flat earth

“I should have never showed him youtube”

I forget which poster it was but the one who claimed to be a physics major at like georgia tech or whatever, whos complete lack of understanding of physics had me choking on laughter.. good times with that guy.

I can't believe I am writing about this again but..

Let's just say people cant go to the moon, nor can they go into outer space at all

How in the blue fukc does that automatically equal "the Earth is now flat"?

By your logic, the guy who first imagined it could be a disc could also be totally wrong

No one has a picure

What Astronauts

All the same bullshyt you say about the spherical Earth model

So you don't know. It could be a pyramid or just a flat triangle

Whoever is seriously considering this disc Earth model is just butthurt about the concept of SCIENCE and disc Earth is your way of just being 100% skeptical. It's a symbol more than an actual sensical idea
