How to argue for a flat Earth
« on: March 08, 2015, 06:39:06 AM »
1. Say something meaningless.

2. Wait until someone points out what you have said is meaningless.

3. Accuse that person of failing to counter your argument.

4. Proclaim yourself the victor.

You can't argue against meaningless statements. It's the weapon of choise of the average flat Earth proponent.

Or plan B (flat earther point of view - I'm not a flat earther).

1. State that Earth is flat.
2. Listen to logical arguments from round earthers.
3. Fill problematic situations with all-powerful aether that is responsible for sunsets, also hides up the light as black holes do, also is responsible for planes to fly.
4. Proclaim yourself the victory, you can also laugh at round earthers how stupid, sheeple and NASA-believers they are.

Divert as much as possible

Ask critics to "prove" scientific theories that have nothing to do with what you have proposed.

A delusion is something that someone believes in despite a total lack of evidence - Prof. Richard Dawkins.

LOL


1. Say something meaningless.  EG:  There is no such thing as air.

2. Wait until someone points out what you have said is meaningless.  Which will undoubtedly be the very first response from a round earther.

3. Accuse that person of failing to counter your argument. EG:  All scientists are paid shills working for NASA.

4. Proclaim yourself the victor.  As in "My dad's got a bigger truck than your dad, so there!"

You forgot:
