I can't believe this idiot created a thread with such low arguments in it. Go back to school.
And I would say valid illusions in real life would be dreams (no, I don't believe what is happening in my dreams are real), the illusion of water on a hot road, etc. These are encountered in daily life. But the earth being round, or Everest being the tallest, or light being the fastest is not something I encounter.
By the same book which says this:

You are misdirected in this whole thing, and I don't pity you, you dimwit.
Rowbotham was well ahead of his time on that issue, too. The light from the full moon does create positive ions in the air, which can affect human and animal behavior.http://www.policeops.com/full-moon-ion-effect.htm

I told you to stop bringing up that idiot's name again, unless you still want to hear arguments from me regarding Einstein being more superior than your stupid idol Rowbotham. That guy is full of shit, so are you.
If you don't have time, then stop reading my posts. No one forced you. You seem to think the world is here to babysit you and make you happy. Please go back to your room and do your homework. It's almost bedtime.

Obviously, I'm here to let others know how full of shit and narrow minded you are, that they should ignore your loneliness of perspective alone. You can go play horse dick ridings with Tom.
Oh, and now you're gay bashing. Are you an Anne Coulter fan?
Because they can't think for themselves? What an insult to them.
Where did you educate the biology, in toulet?
Einstein agreed with our mechanism for gravity, dumbshoe.
QuoteOh, and now you're gay bashing. Are you an Anne Coulter fan?I warned the FE'ers not to bring up anyone's name that they IDOLIZE here to try and disprove the Earth being round, because I can mention other greater physicists' name that had no problem knowing the Earth as a round planet. If you don't like my offensive actions towards the FE idiots, what is it that you're willing to do? Nothing. Just like the FE pussies.
The argument that my senses can fail me is a valid one. And yes, it is possible that my senses are deceiving me. But I would argue the same applies to round earth theorists. In their case, their "senses" (i.e. formulas, computers) can be deceiving them. It's a matter of what you believe in more, your senses, or some computer spitting out mumbo jumbo formulas.
To prove the earth is flat, I did the beach-horizon-take-a-picture-draw-a-straight-line-using-a-ruler test. I know you guys will say it's just an illusion, but I believe this isn't the case. I believe computers and mathematical formulas are producing an illusion.
My evidence for a conspiracy is not direct evidence, yes I'll admit that. It's not like I came across some document that spelled this all out. But based on the fact that the majority of the world believes in something which I consider to be an illusion and I believe that my senses are not deceiving me, I conclude that there is conspiracy to cover up the truth. I can't think of another explanation.
What he agreed on was, the Earth as a round planet. Prove me wrong.
QuoteWhat he agreed on was, the Earth as a round planet. Prove me wrong.Einstein said nothing about the shape of the earth. He did say that gravitation was caused by the acceleration of mass, however. Perfectly in tune with FE.
Yes he said nothing, *ring*, how retarded can you be? God, even my grandfather didn't lose that much intelligence.
QuoteYes he said nothing, *ring*, how retarded can you be? God, even my grandfather didn't lose that much intelligence.Einstein did not study the shape of the world. Dr. Rowbotham did, however.
You warned? What, are you giving orders that we're supposed to obey? And what are you going to do about us posting about flat earth theory? Last I checked, this website is thteflatearthsociety.org. What on earth did you expect?Perhaps you're going to come track us down using your globe (ha!) and beat us up?

If you're going to sit there and tell me i shouldn't trust a calculator to tell me 1+1=2, you're the one that can't be trusted. Computers spitting out "mumbo jumbo" formulas help save peoples lives, keep your plane in the air, and even help you pass your math test. You need to understand, a person creates these formulas and then tells a computer what the answer is, so the computer can tell me.QuoteTo prove the earth is flat, I did the beach-horizon-take-a-picture-draw-a-straight-line-using-a-ruler test.

But based on the fact that the majority of the world believes in something which I consider to be an illusion and I believe that my senses are not deceiving me, I conclude that there is conspiracy to cover up the truth. I can't think of another explanation. This argument is absolutely ridiculous. First, you don't have indirect evidence, you have zero evidence. What you have is a guess, or a hypothesis at best. Because you admit you have no evidence of a conspiracy, you must also admit there is no "truth" to cover up. This is because admittance of absence of evidence is admittance that you don't know the truth. All you have is a psychological perception which you dogmatically believe is correct.

Nobody ever gave orders to anyone, don't put words in peoples' mouths. He's addressing you, not the entire flat earth theory. He's warning people of fucking imbeciles, such as yourself. Imbeciles that say the earth is flat because that's what i perceive through my senses. How do you know the camera you used to take your picture of beach didn't drop some mumbo jumbo in the image to foil you're measurements? If you shut up and think for a second, you'll realize you trust computers and machines more than you trust yourself.
but you know they are illusions, that would be a contradiction of your perception of the earth because if you trust your senses with regards to the earth why do you not trust your perceptions of these Illusions. the fact that most of the things I believe can be reproduced in everyday life reinforces my beliefs. Now Some of the stuff can be hard to grasp especially in quantum theory.(My favorite being the possibility that you could just fall through the floor at any given time due to our E-Fields Meshing)
No, see, I go up to the mirage on the road and there is no water there. I can prove it's an illusion. I wake up from a dream where I was talking to a friend, I ask my friend if we really did talk and he says no. I can confirm that. But I can't verify the earth is round, Everest is the tallest, and the speed of light is the fastest.
I can trust a calculator to do 1 + 1 = 2. I can verify that. But when it comes to the number that is supposed to be the height of Everest, how can I verify that? Tell me.
Why don't you?

Oh really? So there is a puddle of water on the road that knows when I get to a certain distance to disappear. Sounds like you got some issues, boy. I don't believe water can detect my presence and makes itself disappear like that.

Tell me.No no no, you said you can only trust your senses to find the truth, so i can't trust you to verify that for me, sorry. You see how this doesn't work very well? You must be terrified behind the wheel of a car, since well.... a computer spit out all the calculations for crucial parts in that car.QuoteWhy don't you?I've been on topic the whole thread, you haven't. I was even on topic in that post you quoted, and even this post still. Although, i see you didn't deny my claim that you trust yourself less than machines.
