Well, we're all about constructive criticism at The Flat Earth Society. How would you improve it?

Quote from: http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=11211.0
Q: "Do you have a map?"


This applies to the finite Earth model only.

Well, for one thing, you should put a disclaimer on this map explaining that it's a projection of a RE globe and is for illustrative purposes only and the true sizes and locations of the land masses are yet to be measured.

Noted, it happens to be something I agree with anyway.

Define good.


Like I said, instead of just making bland, useless criticisms, why not say something we can actually work with?

You're the ones who got off topic about the FAQ's.
Ok forget about the FAQ's, can we PLEASE move on to the topic at hand? The whole evidence thing?

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

Well, what reasonable experiment would you expect performed that would showcase a flat Earth?

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.

Well, they convinced me. And they've convinced a whole lot of other people too.

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.

Geez, you sure are demanding considering you're getting something for nothing. You should be glad people go through so much trouble to contribute to this forum for your benefit.

And which experiments are these? I assume they have been published in one of the many peer reviewed journals, and have been succesfully repeated by others?

He doesn't need to. The standard position of science is disbelief of something that isn't accepted in the scientific community. The scientific community accepts that the Earth is round, provide empirical, absolute evidence supporting that the Earth is flat. "It seems flat from the surface" is unacceptable in this regard. Numbers fit in Round Earth Theory, and RE is far, far simpler than FE. Occam's razor definitely applies to the situation, kindly go back to 9/11 conspiracy theory.

Once again you FEers ask for proof. You all give no empirical evidence at all.  But I give you all a very simple experiment that you all can perform yourself.

Get a pair of binoculars, check the ISS website for times the the Station will be passing over your area.  Find a nice dark area, and some place you can get your arms very steady to hold the binoculars.  Wait till you see it, and then point the binoculars right at it.  Try to get your view just in front of where it's about to go...and steady them...and just watch it pass in front of the binoculars without moving them.  You will quite clearly see the shape of the ISS.

Us REers have now given you without having to read some book by your hero, the exact procedure to do your own empirical experiment.  Many of us have seen the evidence with our own eyes. 

The burden of proof now moves to you all....get how that works?

Prove to me, as one of yours claims, that what I'm seeing is a blimp shaped like the ISS put up there by NASA, to further this ever growing conspiracy.

Explain to me why ISS appears to come out of no where when you first see it....and as it passes over it gets brighter in amplitude, and then as it gets further away it simply vanishes.

Explain to me why I can also see the shape of the Space Shuttle?

Why can I see them "chasing" each other right before the Shuttle docks, and right after it undocks?

The ball is in your court guys...and you guys don't seem to have a play.  Might as well just get off the court and play with kids your own size.
