What about rocks?
« on: June 01, 2006, 11:05:24 PM »
If the earth truly WAS flat, then why wouldn't all the rocks/stones on this planet be flat? I beleive in a round earth myself, but I'm trying to present you with new questions to be answered so you can further your cause of drawing others into your funell of ignorance.

Uh, why would a flat earth create flat rocks?

Alright...way to fail.

Fine, Let's apply this very same logic to your world view:
If the earth is round , why aren't all rocks oblate spheroids?
Aha! By, reductio ad absurdum, the earth cannot be an oblate spheroid.

Only, I'm not an idiot and realize that the shape of rocks is in no way indicative of the shape of the earth.

First off, if you feel like insulting peoples' intellect, try to get the spelling right in the words you're using to insult them; the word is "funnel".  Second off, how does presenting these ridiculous questions further the goal you think we are trying to achieve?

Oh bloody hell, this one's really clever...

Sigh.
elling people in africa not to use condoms if a crime against humanity. I believe there's a God I just don't believe he is out to make our lives miserable.

Now do you see the motivation for arguing that the Earth is flat?

I see one of them, and I appreciate it,

I try to make people think in everyday life too though, your assumption that I didn't already realise there were people like this is misplaced.

And anyway the existence of real-flat earthers is proof enough of some people being uber-stupid.
