A request for evidence.
« on: August 18, 2009, 07:45:22 PM »
I'm just going to address some things in the FAQ and get some clarification here.

First off it states that NASA is all false and they are not really going into space. They are taking the money from the government to build a fake spaceprogram and take the rest of the money for themselves.

Here's where I come in. Where is the evidence that suggests this is true? (BESIDES the earth being flat, since that's already assuming, let's go for an unbiased pov)

Secondly you state that rocket ships that are blasted into space aren't really going to space, but rather onto remote bunkers in Africa or some Island.

Where is the evidence that suggests this is true? (besides the earth being flat)

As you know, simply just saying something that makes you feel good about yourself doesn't make it true. That's not science, that's a dumbass kid sitting on his computer telling people what he thinks is true because it makes sense in his/her world.

The earth is flat. Experiments may easily be performed to show this to be the case.

Now, try explaining how a conspiracy could not exist within the context of reality.

There have also been experiments that have proven the Earth to be round.

But let's try to stroll away from the flat earth/round earth. Let's look at evidence about the things I'm talking about. Let's say the Earth really was flat. I would still want proof that Nasa is sending people to africa.

They are detailed extensively in Zetetic Astronomy: Earth Not A Globe by Dr. Samuel Birley Rowbotham. I highly recommend the read.

Oldham, H. Yule (1901). "The experimental demonstration of the curvature of the Earth's surface". Annual Report (London: British Association for the Advancement of Science): 725?6.

Also the experiment was repeated with greater accuracy prior to this by Alfred Wallace (a trained surveyor), as I believe is covered in other threads. His findings were that the earth was round.

Nature magazine, April 7th, 1870. "Rotundity of the Earth"

Quote
Although the diagrams of what was seen by the telescopes used at both ends and acknowledged to be correct by Mr. Carpenter and Mr. Hampden show the central signal more then 5 feet above the line of the two extremes, these gentlemen coolly claim the victory, and threaten to bring action against the Editor of the Field (who was appointed umpire by Mr. Hampden himself) for fraudulently deciding against them.

Basically, the results showed that the Earth was round. Even the judge Hampden selecting agreed. So Hampden freaked out and tried unsuccessfully to sue.

I still don't have any evidence that NASA is sending people to Africa.

This is all just retarded. When the FE'rs see a problem, they just make up something that could happen and say that it's true because they believe the Earth is flat. Come on, you're never going to convince ANYONE that the Earth is flat at this rate.

As far as I can tell, the basis for their entire assumption of a flat earth is Rowbotham's experiment. NASA's conspiracy, not believing in gravity, claiming the sun and moon are spotlights, the anti-moon and all related ideas are all based off of "We know its true because the earth is flat" (basically), an assumption based entirely off of Rowbotham and Blount.

I mean, I haven't exactly seen any additional evidence for the NASA conspiracy besides: "We already know the Earth is flat, so NASA must be lying." 

Not a single incriminating memo, phone conversation, or confession of a former NASA worker.

Simple, NASA doing their jobs.

Experiments could also be done to show that the earth is round.
But, opposition could easily question the consistency and validity of the experiments and proof.


Roundy the Truthinessist, if you admit that the FAQ is not flawless, why do FE'ers use it as an answer to our questions?

I do not want flawed answers.
I want logical answers backed up with evidence.

I didn't say that it did.  However, of what possible use is a FAQ that does not have satisfactory answers to Frequently Asked Questions?  ???

I suppose another way of putting it is: We know what a FAQ is.  Do you know what a FAQ is for?

I was pointing out that the FAQ is not the "basis" for this site. As for whether or not I know what the FAQ is for, the FAQ is an introduction and guideline to some of the key concepts in FET. It is not intended to be exhaustive or definitive, and as a result some people may not consider that satisfactory. However, to make it exhaustive would make unsuitable for its original purpose.

I'm not saying that the FAQ needs to be (or even should be) the basis of or an exhaustive explanation of FET.  It should, however, provide satisfactory answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about FET.  The fact that not very many people (some FE'ers included) are satisfied with those answers suggests that the FAQ is in failing its intended purpose.  Perhaps the FE Wiki will be better when (if) it goes live, but I'm not holding my breath.

Triple the size of the 'Disclaimer' heading. Also highlight the bolded parts with pretty colors. This should decrease (slightly) the amount of people questioning it's 'biblical' truth.

EDIT: No not the bolded parts, but the parts where it says 'this is not 100% accurate to everyone's beliefs' and what not
