RE: Flat Earth - The End Debate
"This is a good exposition of the "debate" between FE and RE models. "
There shouldn't be any debate at all if people would acknowledge the facts:
Your senses and natural science tell you that we are not living on a spinning globe. Nobody would assume so hadn't he/she not heard of the "spinning globe" theory.
The authorities who claim that we would indeed be living on a spinning ball - despite what our senses tell us - fail to prove it.
Well, I disagree with your points.
#1. Natural science does tell us we are on a spinning globe, as this has been an accepted part of physical science since the Renaissance in Europe, and even prior to those times. Using the principle of Occam's Razor, it was easier to explain natural phenomena with a round earth orbiting the Sun, especially as more precise measurements became possible, and not with a flat Earth orbited by the Sun.
As for the senses, they can be unreliable, as Ernst Mach tested in the 1800s. For example, when you are flying in an airliner, can you sense you are moving at nearly 600 mph?
#2. They have, repeatedly. But many people like you remain unconvinced, either because they don't trust the authorities (and no other reasons) or because they refuse to question their own assumptions.
There should be no debate between RE and FE models, because FE is patently wrong.
