What evidence is needed?
« on: November 17, 2012, 12:20:58 PM »
So since you flat-earthers do not believe pictures, as "all of them are photoshopped", don't  believe videos "because they're all taken with fish-eye lenses", and ignore mathematical/ logical proof, my question to you is; what evidence of a RE will you believe? I will be sure to provide evidence by whatever means you wish.

They don't want nor need any proof, as they actually do believe the Earth is round like everyone. They're here for trolling purpose, no more, no less.

I can buy that. I can also say that even if you could find a proof against it, you would get no posts from FEers. They purposefully ignore the ones they can't answer, or they answer and try to direct the conversation away from the OP. I see tactics such as "citation please" before they eve answer the OP. I also notice that the FE'ers have a few topics they really like to argue. Whenever someone posts a meaningful thing, they try to turn it into one of the threads that they can actively participate in so they think they've won. These people are remarkably stubborn and they think they're better than us.

Its wonderful how  a camera shows perfectly straight 'perspective lines' that give the illusion of a 'horizon', but shows 'illusions of curvature' when it is sent into space.

It seems  that cameras are in on the 'big conspiracy' too !  ;D

There is no single proof that the earth is not a sphere. Neither on this website nor anywhere else. Every so-called "proof" can be easily debunked with basic logic, they all use the most blattant falacious argumentation.

I find this very telling, Hoppy didn't answer the original question. In jeopardy style he answered the question "what evidence do you have the earth is flat" rather than the original question.

There is a "theory" that some people believe that the earth is flat, what evidence would it take to change this view?
I'd like to agree with you but then we'd both be wrong!

Yep, you're still here alright. Still coming up with retarded shrimp theories and antimoons and celestial gears. Still debunking valid points with ludicrous, irrational arguments. Still ignoring evidence that you can't even discount because any quess you could come up with would be shameful for you to post.

Basically, you're still here while every body else moves on with their lives. How many REers have been here since the beginning? Not many, I'll bet, because they see that spending time here arguing is a tremendous waste of energy.

If you define 'proofs' as one man's word in a book from the 1800's through some ridiculous experiments that prove nothing due to false methods then you may be onto something.

It doesn't seem to make sense to accept this book as a form of proof under the FET logic of what is and isn't accepted as forms of evidence. If other scientists findings aren't accepted why is this man's findings accepted?

I have begun reading it and have already found why the first proof that he uses is false.
in the situation of a vessel or other object moving relative to the surface of the earth there is a consistent drag exerted by the air around the ball as it falls to the earth, this ends up expending the kinetic energy and so the ball ends up falling behind the vessel. when one throws a ball up while remaining motionless relative to the earth, this drag is not present as the atmosphere moves with the earth and not separately. so this makes him more intelligent?

If only.  There have actually been quite a few REers who have posted here for hours a day, months on end, in an apparent attempt to undo the damage they perceive us to be doing to society.  Of course none of them has been able to prove that the Earth is round.

Just do a forum search for your answers. I've been here for almost seven years and the same topics are debated again and again and again. If a question seems to be unanswered it's only because you haven't searched hard enough.

Maybe there needs to be another sticky on the front page then of "topics we see often but haven't updated the wiki or faq about" then.

It doesn't change the original point of the thread though which is what would change your mind (Flat earthers in general) about the earth being flat.

I'd like to agree with you but then we'd both be wrong!

Simple. Prove that all those "scientists" that talk about having evidence for a RE are unbiased and are not influenced by the conspirators in governmental organizations. Prove that the fish-eye lenses are inadequate to discredit the videos. Prove that the light  doesn't bend in such a way to provide the illusion of a round earth. Show us that the Ice wall doesn't work the way that it does, and that the guards patrolling it aren't there in reality. In short, disprove the FE. Of course, you can't do any of that.

The question is not how can we disprove all the wacko FE theories, its what evidence of a round earth will you accept. I think your answer proves the obvious: there is no evidence FE proponents will accept that will change their mind.

We will accept evidence that disproves the evidence for FE. I cannot think of any other evidence that will change my mind in this because I don't think that any exists. If it does, then I will keep an open mind if and when it is presented.

You can take this and turn it round.
Prove there is a global (for lack of a better word) conspiracy
Prove that light does bend by the orders of magnitude etc required
Prove the ice wall exists at all
Prove that gravity doesn't exist
Prove bigfoot does/doesn't exist (depending on your view)

It's not worth taking that road, you must be able to come up with something tangible, short of going into space.
