I'll post this again, since it seems like an FE mod deleted it for no apparent reason, before it even got an answer...maybe because of certain words i used, which i edited out.
RE is NOT a theory. IT IS A DISCOVERY. You should look up the difference...
If you found a flower, would you say that what you found is only "theorically" a flower??? No. Unless you REFUSE to see its a flower : then I could very well picture you saying something along the lines of : "well wait a minute, i'm not seeing this flower grow nor move right now. Therefore I present to you the theory that it is a rock. Unless you can show me this flower is growing right now, it is a rock". You know how stupid that would sound? obviously you wouldn't say such a thing, because you understand that you can't simply glance at a flower to see it grow, you have to make greater observations then that, that are proportionnal to the time it takes for said flower to grow.
Just like for earth. You can't glance down at your feet and say "this looks flat, therefore it IS flat". you have to make greater observations then that, which are proportionnal to the size of the planet. Which have been made. and verified. And therefore, the DISCOVERY of the fact that the earth is round is NOT a theory.
What you FEers continuously do here on your forums is the equivalent of saying "I won't take the time to sit long enough and watch this flower grow, nor will I carry out any other experiments needed to gather evidence, but I will not believe any evidence presented to me that shows it grows, wether it be video or photos, because i've decided that those can only be faked by you to try and convince me. Also your word or the word of others that claim to have made the necessary observations and experiements is not trustworthy enough, even if those individuals are considered a recognized scientific authority in the field. So given those facts, you can basically NEVER EVER prove to me it is a flower. Therefore it MUST be a rock, since I cannot see it move when i look at it. And since even you have to agree it is not moving when you look at it, then my theory is valid".
You can try to flip it any other way you want, but thats exactly the logic (or lack of) you use to defend FE. Your whole society is based on a sophism.
Spheric earth is a DISCOVERED FACT. Period.
Just because your very small group of individuals refuses the evidence linked to that discovery (out of simple-minded, ignorant stubborness), doesn't mean this discovery suddenly becomes a theory that can be discussed/contradicted. Nor does it make your FET any more valid or plausible.
