Flat Earth General / Re: Rosetta's Philae probe makes historic landing on comet

Lets start with what we can agree on and then we can try to ascertain what it is we would like from the opposing argument.
These are just my thoughts off the top of my head:
1) Do we all at least agree that it would be much easier to fake this to the public than to actually go out and do it?   Just because you fire a rocket into the atmosphere doesn't mean it is being sent long distances. 
2) If NASA was involved in this type of conspiracy they would most likely ensure that no loose ends were exposed.

If I could question NASA (or whichever organization did this), I would tell them that they no doubt know of a growing group of people who believe space travel to be a conspiracy.    Is there something you can show those people that would help them believe that this isn't all nothing more than somewhat easily produced fake video footage?

Now since we obviously can't question them here, at least we can ask the people who represent them.. so I put the question to you, i.e. the non-skeptics..."Based on what we the public see, you have to at least acknowledge the possibility that this is fake.. and what would you show to or tell a skeptic that you think could strengthen the validity of these space missions?

These are just my thoughts if anyone is interested in engaging them.

Just to clear something (Even though you will probably deny it as you do with most stuff), birds are descendants of dinosaurs (So birds footprints look like the ones of dinosaurs and not viceversa) and about the rock measurements, 20-40 thousands years is very little, if you do more research on that you might understand some of it and see why that number is so small. Donīt try to argue with that unless you are an archeologist that does understand how it works.

Well I was just throwing out some gut feelings... I actually attended UCLA and took a lower division archaeology class.    But since we're on the subject of things that we take on face value from scientists, I was just pointing out that time might be highly skewed as well.  I am aware of theories of radio carbon data but how much of that can we actually prove.   We are told that this measurement of rock equates to X number of years.    Are you yourself able to prove that? In truth it might be 10, 100 or 1000 times less than what we are told.

If there is any truth to the flat earth theory... and that the sun is much closer and smaller.. it could also be that what we are told about time is also highly skewed and exaggerated. 
I would imagine that in some hereafter our 'blinders' so to speak are removed at which point we will then be able to see things as they really are.. which I am thinking is probably some combination of what we are seeing and perceiving now and possibly some trick of perception/awareness (i.e. something to the effect of a stage magician's trick that is beyond our realm of perception/understanding.)

Well of course no one is denying they existed.   But the span of time that they refer to between the various ages does seem odd to my senses.   Paleozoic was 300 million years ago... Cenozoic 200 million years ago.    And it is all based on measurements of the rocks, which may or may not be accurate.. as it is another thing that we basically just take their word for it.

What evidence do we have that says radio carbon dating and its related theories are correct?  In my mind 20, 30, 40 thousand years at most seems about right for the dinosaurs.   I think that would be more than enough time to fossilize the dinosaurs.

Considering the flat earth theory propagates an entire shift in thinking.   

According to scientists there was a period of 63 million years between when the dinosaurs lived and humans first appeared.

Does anyone find this a little hard to swallow?  I am thinking its more like 10-20 thousand years at most...

Thoughts?
