RE: If the Earth is a Sphere, Why Does it Look So Flat?
I am all for people having their own opinions (in fact I prefer when people do) but in my opinion this whole flat earth stuff is just stupid and can be debunked 1000x from every direction. My main problem with this viral and untrue theory is that it helps to discredit other more credible and serious conspiracy theories, which is a dangerous situation for logic and critical thinking as a whole. Sadly we live in a day and age where people have been lied to so much that now many people are starting default to thinking that EVERYTHING they were told must be a lie, which is why the bullshit flat earth theory gained so much traction in the past few years. If this pattern continues at this rate critical thinking is going to go extinct some time in my lifetime...
Then why hasn't it been?
It has. You ignoring and denying that it has been is not evidence that the earth is flat. But you are welcome to provide your comprehensive predictive model that predicts all of the natural phenomenon that ARE already predicted using a flat earth model.
If any of the evidence you may refer to was conclusive, then there would be a decrease in the number of people who disagree with you. I think you will find that is not the case.
That is another statement without evidence. Numbers of irrational and ill informed people who join a cult is not indicative of the truth or falsity of the beliefs they are rejecting irrationally.
And still you provide no comprehensive predictive model... because you do not have one.
Correct: I do not have one. Furthermore, your model cannot be correct. Debunking a flat model is meaningless if the world were a sphere that we live inside of. That is not my model, but it is someone's, and I am not quick to dismiss them or the flat earthers. I think you have confused the devil's advocate for a flat earther. There is no burden of proof on the side of the asker - that falls on the side with all the answers.
The burden of proof for the sphere has already been proven, and you have not proven it incorrect despite claiming it is. And pretending to 'ask questions' in order to shift the burden of proof to the answerer is merely a lazy and dishonest tactic to never have to prove your own claims or prove something already proven is incorrect.
But thank you for admitting you have no testable hypothesis. We have nothing more to discuss unless you state specifics, which you seem to be intentionally avoiding.
I'm sure you believe that, but beliefs are not facts.
It's not a belief, but a fact. That you believe otherwise does not disregard the facts. And since you seem to refuse to make any point at all or take a stand, there is nothing to discuss. The earth is a sphere and will maintain it's easily provable shape to anyone who cares to pay attention, regardless of your pathologic skepticism.
