How Evolution Proves a Flat Earth

You know, so far I've been ignoring the most obvious argument available.  If I (or anyone) pushed a boat, it would go faster.

That was the point of the analogy. by boat, I mean a large vessel of several thousand tonnes, like a cruise liner.
the point is not that they cannot push it, rather that a photo of showing them in close proximity only shows that they can get into close proximity. there is still yet to prove that the people can push the boat at that speed, or that they actually do push boats to make them go uber fast.

Ahh, I see.  So posting a picture of people by a boat would lend credibility to your claim, whether true or not, if you chose to make it.

Oh wait, I thought that was how you FE'ers argued as well? X is true because Y says so. Don't bother showing evidence, examples or the relations of X and Y, no just post it. (Did I just describe the OP's first post? Why yes I did, jolly good)

Have you ever tried pushing a boat that is already under power?

I'm fairly certain that people don't posses the strength to accelerate a cruise liner to twice its max speed

Just because your muscles are inferior does not mean it isn't true.

Though the fact that no one got that strong muscles means it's false.

Don't forget you'd have to submit yourself to genetic engineering and you would have to let me put you on coke.

Does anyone else need proof that EnglshGentleman is a troll?

Lots of people have tried to get an answer as to how a bird can fly at 600 miles per hour, let alone do it while pushing a plane, or how a person can swim at 20 knots and push a boat. And the answer is always the same: word games.

The trolls have won hands down in this thread, showing how we just cannot stop asking them for explanations.

Please do not feed the trolls.

Since we are now on the topic of boats, I shall submit that cruisers may very well use sailfish to pull their boats in the similar fashion that airplanes use birds.

Sailfish already can swim up to 75 knots which is more than enough for a cruiser.

Evidence?

Evidence?

The cruisers obviously wouldn't allow photos or evidence of their existance to be open to the public because of the bad PR that would result because of their enslavement of these admirable sea creatures.

I suggest you go swim underneath a cruiser. You'd be able to see the scores of sailfish quite easily.

I assure you that trying to call burden of proof will turn into a fruitless arguement. Everone else in the thread can attest to this. You are the one claiming that my theory is false, therefore it is on you to disprove it.

So far I see zero reasons why my theory is incorrect.

Oh good, another pointless argument with a devil's advocate.

Oh good, another argument.

Yes, it is.

Unless somebody has objections to roided out sailfish on coke pulling cruisers, these may yet be an early victory for Flat Earth.

I see nothing backing your theory, so why should we waste time proving it wrong?

I have a theory that sailfish do not push boats, it is correct until you provide evidence against it.

I have no quarrel with your theory. I in fact agree with it.

Now please explain to me how the fact that sailfish pull boats is incorrect.

Oh no, EnglishGentleman is right!

Sailfish already can swim up to 75 knots which is more than enough for a cruiser.

lrn2 conservation of momentum please. it may be going 75 knots, but the force required for fish to pull boats is monumental compared to the force that it takes them to move 75 knots. in conclusion lrn2physics/mathematics
