The extraordinary claim here is that the Earth is round. That's what requires extraordinary evidence.
Perhaps, in your view; but the fact remains that you were making a positive claim, whereas I was making a negative.
So you're going to blindly trust somebody else's opinion? Why don't you try judging its methods for yourself instead of pointing to an obviously biased review?
I think you talk quicker than you read. Misread the post, thus eating my own words, ironically. I have enough confidence in my views of the shape of our planet to be able to safely take this "biased" review seriously. I'm not saying that I'm close-minded either; only that I have other priorities.
Most people don't seem interested in doing that.
Unfortunately. That's the main problem with society; no opinion on anything other than their own lives.
But scientists strive to keep everything as factual as possible, so that people don't
have to look for an answer to something. FET is simply not credible enough to be placed at par.
I fully agree.
Good. I was beginning to think that most FETists were blind followers of the Bible. I'm glad to find out I was wrong.
