New User with a New Question... Maybe?

Most FE'ers do not believe that the earth is special

Have you read the FAQ?

Q: "Why are other celestial bodies round but not the Earth?"

A: The Earth is not one of the other planets. The Earth is special and unlike the other bodies in numerous ways.

The problem is, FE'ers will claim one thing, then when confronted they'll claim another.

Its called science.  It happens with evolution and abiogenisis all the time.

Calling it science is a little overkill. Last time I heard science included also some data/numbers and verifiable experiments not only hopping from one speculation to another. FE seems to lack the data and experiment part.

......... sigh

The faq was written to be intentionally flamboyant to gain interest. I do not endorse it and it does not fairly represent the FE view. The question was why aren't the other planets flat. What the faq means is, they are different from the Earth, the "Planets" in the sky are different from the Earth in the same way that the stars in the sky are different from the Earth. When RE theory claims that the Earth is different from Jupiter does that make the Earth "special"? I wouldn't say so.

And you read - http://www.vidyaonline.net/arvindgupta/earthpix.pdf - Isaac Asimov, How did we find out that the earth is round.
ENaG is old stuff, it does not have any data or experiments which prove anything. I guess some one third of his experiments are failed just because he assumed that he can detect the curvature of earth at the ground level. And another third are failed because of his weird vision about perspective. We live in 21st century. Care to refer me to some material from this century instead of 19th? Yeah, I guess not.

Last I checked, truth did not have an expiration date.

If there only were such thing as a truth. But there isn't.

I see you like playing broken gramophone. Reading it doesn't help, it leaves me only with bad aftertaste. Give me some modern stuff, from 21st century. Or do you agree that FE science is so pathetic it doesn't have anything other but one book of speculations?
