Yep So If you cant understand logic then youve got a problem

Now that we have access to space, the easiest way to prove the Earth is spherical is to leave it and view it from a distance. Astronauts and space probes have done just that. Every picture of Earth ever taken shows only a circular shape, and the only geometric solid which looks like a circle from any direction is a sphere.

One of the oldest proofs of the Earth's shape, however, can be seen from the ground and occurs during every lunar eclipse. The geometry of a lunar eclipse has been known since ancient Greece. When a full Moon occurs in the plane of Earth's orbit, the Moon slowly moves through Earth's shadow. Every time that shadow is seen, its edge is round. Once again, the only solid that always projects a round shadow is a sphere.

Now go get a life, help society and stop wasting your TIME!

This is hardly appropriate discussion for an "Alternative science" forum. Also, your whole second paragraph is full of lies and deceit. Also, shouldn't your name be "logiCpwnsJ00" or something?

Also, please post a given post only once.

Maybe you should change your name to 'also'. Why don't you explain why his second paragraph is lies and deceit. Do you honestly think the ancient humans were part of this conspiracy and made a huge circular statue to make a shadow on the moon so people thought it was a sphere and not a flat circle?

I honestly don't understand what you flat earthers are trying to prove. But goddamn if you aren't giving evidence to the complete halt of human evolution.

Eeh, screw trying to 'argue' for the RE point of view. As Erasmus stated, it's more fun to argue for FE'er's.

Rett, you fail to note that you haven't actually gone back in time and proven that these records of people making the earth's proof of it being round is true. And if you bothered to look in the FAQ, it explains lunar/solar eclipses.

But hey, doing smart things is for idiots.

Lol...

I knew something was up when he started going on about laughter...

You people belong to the type of people who scribble a whole load of algebra on a board, then when everyone  is confused you cancel a factor with value 0, and think you're clever for proving that 1=2.

Now I think I get it... you don't believe any of this shit you're just being annoying... should have seen it... soz.

1=/=2

0.9 repeating = 1.

Easily explains your superiority complex in the other thread in which I questioned your elitism.

What are you on about now?

Maybe you should change your name to 'also'.

Um... no thanks.

Why don't you explain why his second paragraph is lies and deceit.

I guess he's just a liar and a deceitful person.  How should I know why?

Do you honestly think the ancient humans were part of this conspiracy and made a huge circular statue to make a shadow on the moon so people thought it was a sphere and not a flat circle?

Um, no, I don't believe that.  That's an interesting theory though, if a little bit stupid.

I honestly don't understand what you flat earthers are trying to prove.

Oh, basically just that REers like you are evidence of a complete halt of human evolution.

My fellow RE'ers, take note, this is a text book example of a FE'er evading a simple question [highlighted by the#1] and attempt at satire [highlighted by the #2] although, given his beliefs, he is in no place to mock anyone.

I would be interested to learn how you can claim to know Erasmus' beliefs.

First of all, take your baseless presumptions about my beliefs and stuff them.

Secondly, I was asked an unanswerable question: paraphrased, "Why is his second paragraph lies and deceit.?"  I don't know why he would lie.  I don't know anything about the man.  What sort of a question is that?

More obfuscation and BS.

Oooh I'm clever cos I can point out that all ideas have inherent uncertainty, oh whoopy fxxxin' doo.

Wow that's.... more infantile than I've heard in a while.  Anyway, I never tried to point that out.

You're infantile because you befuddle, mess with definitions, and stick your head in the sand, and you cancel (figuratively not literally) zeroes all over the place and claim party-trick QEDs

That is practically all you ever do... exploit inherent uncertainty etc, also with what exactly words mean in different theories and philosophies...

Another infantile thing is using big words which aren't necessary and obviously acting smug about it.

So I think you're infantile and I think I am communicating in a way that many perfectly reasonable people would when faced with such nonsense.

I'm sorry you feel this way, but I'm pretty sure I don't do any of these things.  Except for the head-in-the-sand bit.... but usually it's because I'm not interested in the question being asked, not because I'm worried that my idiotic belief in a flat Earth cannot stand up to such onslaughts.

As for your "big words" complaint: lame.

He is asking why his second paragraph is lies and deceit? As in what in the second paragraph is a lie and why is it a lie. Not why you think he is lying.

His second paragraph makes repeated reference to mans endeavours into space, and supposed evidence of a round earth resulting. Since the earth is flat and man has not been to space, obviously his claims are full of lies and deceit.

Obviously.

OK Erasmus, by exactly the same token,

Your complaints that I mention being a rocket scientist in training are also lame.

You think I say it to look cool, I think the same about you, it's that simple, you can't claim any moral superiority.

Ok.. you are an idiot. Find a satellite image of your house on google earth and take a look.

There is no such thing as a satellite image of my house, as satellites do not exist.

Google earth could provide me with a wonderful aerial photograph of my house (I use the program quite often, it's loads of fun!), but nothing about it suggests to me the existence of satellites.

except for the fact it says its a satellite photo. those google bastards must be in on the conspiracy.

And now I will "say" that I am sending you this message from the belly of the turtle on whose back the earth rests. Does that make it true?

Certainly not. It doesn't make it false, either. In fact, it has very little bearing on what my actual location is.

The amount of logical fallicies used by the mods in this forum are mind boggling.

Just curious, what exactly is a rocket scientist in training?  Last time I checked, you can't get a B.S. in R.S.

I could claim that when I find language to be a useful if imperfect means of communicating ideas with others, and that as the concepts I wish to express become more subtly defined, the language requried to express them unambiguously becomes correspondingly more complex.

In other words, big words are useful to me.

If you accept that, then I'm willing to accept that touting your credentials is useful to you, though I'm curious to hear what for.
