I basically question just about everything now.
So do I, absolutely. This is one of the reasons I so strongly question the flat earth theorists, and repeatedly seek evidence from them to support those theories. Unfortunately, that evidence is seldom forthcoming in any way consistent with the tenets of contemporary astrophysics and/or geophysics. Many of the flat earthers (not necessarily yourself) seem to blindly accept all sorts of bizarre, non-scientific, and totally unevidenced notions about the universe and the planet. Many of them would appear to be just (literally) making stuff up on the spot in order to best suit their "argument of the day". There's a noticeable
lack of conformity from one flat earther's basic theory to another's.
You appear to accept without question what is put on your plate, which is fair enough, if that's how you view it all.
I may "appear" to be that way inclined, but it couldn't be further from the truth! Only after carrying out my own due diligence have I concluded that there is no
viable evidence in support a flat earth model in any way, shape or form. On the other hand, every bit of available, viable evidence supports a spherical planet model—whichever way you look at it.
There is nothing involved with and/or supporting the so-called round earth model that defies the laws of physics, motion, energy, chemistry, petrology, hydrology, glaciology, astronomy, or geomorphology.
To be honest, I wish I did but it's got to the stage where I see the media for what it is. A disinfo organisation.
Agree totally. The media are almost totally untrustworthy at most levels both nationally and globally. Most of the media (at least in Australia) are now hugely influenced by both the corporatists and the government. And which is why I don't read daily newspapers; I pick my stuff off the interwebs (which can, of course also be suspect as accurate sources).
The fact that most of you accept a of of stuff that deserves serious questioning, astounds me to be honest.
No need to be astounded my friend. The very fact that the majority of the planet's 7 billion population and an absolute majority of its 6 million scientists accept totally a spherical planet should tell you something. And that is that the flat earth theory is totally unsupported by nearly every living human being—other than a few hundred flat earth theorists.
Are you familiar with
Occam's Razor? That clarifies this scenario more than adequately, and extremely succinctly.
You can take all of it to the grave, fighting if you wish and it's fine by me, as I'll take what I know in my own mind to the grave.
The majority of the world's population is not "fighting" over any particular scientific concept—that's apparently the sole purview of the flat earthers?
Every so-called round earther on the planet agrees that there's only one, single model of the planet; there's no differences of opinion (as within the flat earth community) and no disagreements about the most basic of issues, that is the simple geometric shape of the planet (again, as there is within the flat earth community).
Flat earthers fight amongst themselves all the time; round earthers
never do at a base level of agreement. And that should also tell you something.
It's just good to know that I can question this stuff but also bad to know that I had to get to this stage by events that reek of lies.
Can I ask what specific "events" you consider to "reek of lies"? Are you referring maybe to Nicolaus Copernicus's theory of heliocentrism from the 16th century? Or the imaging from the space vehicles of NASA and numerous other countries this century? I'd be pleased to know of just a couple of the tenets of the spherical planet model you consider to be lies, and why, and I'll attempt to address those concerns.
