I love conpsiracy theories. Why? They're frequently true.
Someone could come up to me and say "the entire world government is controlled my an invisibale space squid" and I would reply "I'm listening".
..but.. I would require more evidence than "theoretically dis-prooving the absence of a space-squid".
I would require some giant evidence. Something that made THEM believe.. more than just "you can't DISPROVE that tornados are caused by the space-squid!" or "if the government WAS controlled by a space squid, they would act EXACTLY like they do now!".
I've looked through these forums a bit. So far the only "evidence" of FE I've seen is "this and that RO phenomenon could theoretically be explained by FE".
Not only is there no "extraordinary" evidence for this monumental claim.. there seems to be NONE. ZERO. No actual evidence at all.
... well, there's no more evidence for FE than there is for the Flying Spaghetti Monster or Invisible Pink Unicorns.
What could possibly make a reasonable, sane person beleive something so far fetched?
Photographs from space?
Personal observation? (being in space.. impossible for most)
What evidence seems to exist?
*Photos?
We have literally hundreds of thousands (if not more) of photos from space which show the earth round.
We have.. let me see... exactly 0 photos from space which show the earth flat.
The conclusion: 100% of space photos are FAKE, and no one is able to take real photos in space.
The problem: This conclusion REQUIRES that you ALREADY firmly believe in FE! This can not be the thing that convinces you!
*Other planets?
It would appear that every other planet in the universe is round. Including those in our solar system, which we have - again - hundreds of thousands of photos of. (look on NASAs free photo archive)
The conclusion?: Not only are they fake, but many random NASA employees are in on it, along with countless people in other country's space programs.
The problem: Again, this requires you to ALREADY have a firm belief.
*God said so?
Prove it. All I see is paper. If God did say so.. and I rewrote the Bible to say the earth is a triangle.. would you know? Of course not.
It's essentially a piece of paper which says "signed by God" on it.
..so..
..to conclude..
..where's the EXTRAORDINARY hard evidence that made you believe this EXTRAORDINARY theory?
Links?*
Images?
Video?
*Links to photos or video... or a goverment offical admitting a conspiracy..not someone saying "I totally have some photos and video", or some random person saying "there's totally a conspiracy".
..Something more than "well.. planes going to the south pole could theoretically get swept through a crazy vortex to the north one" or "the curve of the Earth you see in an airplane could theoretically be caused by some optical illusion" or "the entire f*cking March of The Penguins movie could have been theoretically shot with freaking robots and I know this because it contradicts my theory".
