The FAQ is actually quite terrible. It's an excellent introduction, but fails to explain the theories in detail. You see, our theory isn't unified. We have many theories, and as it's impossible for us to do any research for reasons already stated, none of them can be proven or disproven. Thus, we embrace the many theories as proof that FE is possible. John Davis, for instance, does not believe in a conspiracy. However, I'm hardly an FE scholar, having been here for only a year, and cannot seem to find any information about what he believes in place of the conspiracy. You'd do better to ask him.
Apologies. I'm quite busy as of recent, between school, my research (on the Barnegat Bay, not on FET), and sleeping just about whenever I'm not doing the other two.
Yet again, you've successfully avoided my question.
Here it is again :
If there ISN'T such a conspiracy, how do you explain all known images, both photographic and videographic, of the spheric earth??
Again, I'm not sure. I'm still somewhat of a noob here myself. PM John about it. He's online right now, though he rarely is.
Tausami,
I understand you want to stay objective and all, but The fact is that one of the very first things you should be thinking about if you want to believe in flat earth is precisely how such photographic and videographic evidence of a spheric earth can exists if our planet is in fact flat. It should be one of the very foundations of your theory. If you're unsure of such a fondamental question, than you're just throwing a funny idea without any proof or even reasonnable assumption to disprove RET.
Imagine you going to court over it :
"judge, i believe the earth is flat"
"OK sir, how do you explain all the scientific evidence that its a sphere?"
"I don't know. I just believe the earth is flat, I've chosen to ignore existing proof of its roundness, And i have nothing to support my theory"
That basically sums up my question and your answer right now...
