"As you experience it"
So you are saying, that you just sort of "feel" that the Earth is flat?

And by the way: You are not answering the questions. Is there a undeniable proof, that the Earth is flat?

Yes, you claim that FET is truth. Why?

What I was saying is that I am less concerned with predictive power than the truth, because the former does not necessarily signify the latter. FET is concerned with truth, whereas RET has a fixation with predictive power. FET explains the world as I experience it.

If by "truth" you mean "deliberately misinterpreting what you see in order to support your unworkable model", then yes, FET is all about the truth.   ::)

Look out your window. My senses tell me it is flat.

There is no undeniable proof of anything.

What does looking out my window have to do with the shape of the earth?

LOL WUT?

There is no undeniable proof of anything.

This statement means nothing, and as I've made clear before, is self contradictory.

Proofs exist within a set of axioms. Within those axioms the proofs are valid.
