I know the Earth is round, because I have seen pictures. Before FEers flame me for this, please accept that I do not believe the conspiracy - FEers believe what you want if it makes you happy or gives you something to do that you feel is worth doing. But to me a round Earth makes the most sense. I can't see distant countries from atop the mountains around my home, simply because they are beyond and 'below' the distant horizon. Satellites, lunar eclipses, sunrises and sunsets, planetary movements, I have seen simulated in 3D models and can accurately predict where and when each will occur for many distant dates. I was taught maths, physics, biology, chemistry and other things by people who have spent their lives dedicated to said subjects, and they passed on their knowledge to me and others, teaching as how to use these subjects to analyse the worlds around us. I trust that these people are granting me legitimate knowledge on how the world works, and in the case of physics and astronomy, I have sometimes pursued the subject further.
I'm not saying RE knows everything about the Universe - I don't know if gravitons actually exist, or dark matter, or a hundred other things, but science is a work in progress, I'm not going to question everything just because certain aspects of the physical world cant be described in 100% detail.
And it is tripe like
this:
Not any person whom I asked haven't known that.
Everyone knows that the earth is flat. They just believe that it's round.
Open your eyes and look around you. Then read Earth Not a Globe by Samuel Birley Rowbotham.
that really ticks me off. How can you possibly presume to know what people think Bishop? I don't
believe the Earth is round I
know it is. If you know that the Earth is flat, that's your right.
