Question for Dogplatter

If the government conspiracy is planning on milking the earth of its financial resources (I'm paraphrasing), and then evacuating just as the earth is destroyed by whatever means you claim they are planning, then at what point in time do you believe this conspiracy originated?  According to history, this conspiracy would've had to have been started hundreds, if not thousands of years ago.  A couple things:
1) Technology obviously comes into play here.  This conspiracy must have been founded on the assumption that given enough time, they'd have the technology to escape a ruined earth.
2) Why would a group of individuals with extreme power thousands of years ago plot something that would have zero chance of taking place in their own lifetime?
If it's so important that others are 'enlightened' about FE, you will inevitably have to come up with some sort of convincing argument, rather than just a string of beliefs.  You can't sell beliefs just by themselves.  Since I don't see any hard evidence behind your beliefs, you WILL need some sort of explanation of this conspiracy's history and its motives.

It is not necessary that the Conspiracy's existence predates (or coincides with) inital Round Earth hypotheses. The Round Earth was first proposed hundreds of years before the birth of Christ - of course there wasn't a conspiracy back then. What I believe is that the "global" warming conspiracy adopted the previous RE theory (which was originally just a scientific mistake, before the days of high technology which could have verified or disproved such a theory) because it was perfect for downplaying the impact of carbon dioxide emissions/other "global" warming related pollution. This adoption probably occured only a couple of hundred years ago.

Dogplatter, stop trying.  :roll:

I'm not trying - my explanation and rebuttal is effortless  

Round Earthers have yet to convince me in a round earth, from my personal observations to my research, I have concluded that the Earth is indeed flat. Dog is on the money

can i ask what research this is as i am intrigued into how you made this conclusion.

This is off-topic for this thread, but I do get a chuckle out of seeing this, because the people mentioned here probably all believed things that would seem ridiculous to us now (at least hardly anyone believes in the Greek mythology nowadays), but the fact that they all more or less believed in a spherical Earth is supposed to make such a world view any more correct or likely? Ptolemy developed the geocentric model of the world (which was generally accepted by nearly everyone - including a lot of smart people - for nearly 1700 years) - does that make any round-earther any more likely to believe in a geocentric world?

well i dont believe in a geocentric world, plus these things are more believeable due to the equipment and technology developed that help prove these ideas like the expanding universe etc.

the greek mythology you mentioned could be compared to religion today and undoubtably to your believe in a flat earth despite massive evidence to suggest that you are wrong.
