RE: Why people believe the Earth is round?
The earth isn't flat. If you fail to even grasp that simple concept, the size of your intellect astounds me.

It's not a reason, anyway, to downvote my article. You have done nothing to disprove it. (Still, your criticism is welcome in comments, constructive or otherwise).
The burden of evidence lies with you. Not with established fact. There is absolutely zero evidence for a flat earth. ZERO!
And why is it that the burden of proof lies with me? You claim that the Earth is round. All that you can do is throw insults at me and downvote my articles. This does not count as an evidence. Neither does calling something a fact. You religiously cling to the idea that the Earth has some invisible curvature that is impossible to detect with modern lasers, or with another reproducible experiment, yet you claim that you are against religion. You are a religious fanatic who substitutes insults and downvotes for facts and discussion. You pick on Christianity, which is really a ridiculous religion that is easy to disprove. You quote comedians that only know one or two religions, instead of serious researchers.
You are still welcome, though, to criticize my articles, however insulting or ridiculous your claims may be.
As I said, the burden of proof lies with you because it is you who has extraordinary claims but cannot present the evidence for them. The laser story you proclaim is evidence is evidence you haven't done any research on the subject whats over. I'll show you a real experiment in a format you are able to consume, video:

If you are still saying the earth is flat, you are lying or willfully ignorant. Either way you are, saying the earth is flat is untruthful and deserving of a flag by my standards.
Your standards do not matter. I am aware of the Discovery channel experiment. There are equivalent experiments proving that the Earth is actually flat, so this is at least inconclusive. Still, I asked you for reproducible evidence, not for circumstantial evidence. I will watch the second video later and maybe get back to you. Read the Steemit FAQ or the pop up that actually appears when you downvote an article. If you do not have a legitimate claim against me, fuck off. Read what you just said. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proofs. I don't know what 'extraordinary' means for you, but apparently just one time experiment is enough to convince you; you disregard the science you are meant to promote.
I've watched parts of the cartoon before posting this reply. It proves that you understand basic concepts, but it doesn't refer to the laser experiment. Show me the same experiment reproduced two or three times, and I will accept it. (Of course it can be still debunked later when data arrives, for instance if this experiment was conducted incorrectly). Look up what scientific method is. Only experiments that have been reproduced matter.
