Flat Earth General / Why are you debating on complex theories?

« on: August 18, 2019, 06:19:31 PM »

After reading through various topics in this forum I always wonder: Why don't people keep it simple?

There are simple observations, that lead to the conclusion, that the earth is a globe. You can measure the angle of sunrays from different locations on the earth at the same time, get the results together and tadaa: they only fit on a globe.
Instead people debate about tectonic plates on a flat earth, show pictures with light refractions, that "proof" or "disproof" a curvature.. debate about a "dome" or that the sun "disappears in an angle".. I just don't get it.
Take a good filter and you can see, that the sun has the same size throughout the whole sunset.. (it Looks a litte compressed vertically, but horizontally it keeps the same size)..

So.. why don't you keep it simple?
To all "globe-earthers": why do you even waste your time discussing on complex levels?
To all "flat-earthers": how are these simple reproducable observations not enough?

Thanks

Philosophy, Religion & Society / Is FE a dogma to you?

Hey, I wondered, if the FE is dogmatic to flat earthers.. maybe the users here can tell me.. it always seemed to me, that most wouldn't ever Change their mind even when confronted with overwhelming evidence..

If you don't know what a dogma is: a principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true.

Thanks.
