Just prove it already, Flat Earthers
« on: August 29, 2014, 03:09:28 PM »
This is getting really dumb. Just prove to us round earthers on why you think the Earth is flat, flat earthers.

And no jroa, don't post dumb shit about "negative and positive" crap, or Star Wars.

"If you can't prove it, it isn't real" is a saying of Greek philosophers

Yes it was. They at least knew that this was an important logic.

Which Greek philosopher do you have in mind - they often had quite different views.

What do you think their proof was for Zeus or Poseidon?

We are raising money for a flat-earth expedition to prove just that!  If your impatience is too much to tolerate, please start donating to speed up the departure date.

That expedition fund raiser has been stuck at a reported $1300 out of $4M (0.0325%) for a couple of months now. The nice thing about trying to raise such a large amount is you can be sure you'll never reach it. You'll never have to actually try to prove anything, but you can claim you tried. The logistics for the proposed expedition are so difficult that, even if by some miracle you did get the money, it wouldn't be enough, so the expedition would have to be abandoned before any conclusions could be reached. But, still, you tried.

If you really had any confidence that the earth was flat, you'd propose something that actually had a chance of happening and then do it.  In another thread I suggested surveying the US state of Iowa http://theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=61993.msg1629663#msg1629663 as a starter, but, realistically, a careful survey of any 100 X 100 mile (or so) area should do. The plains states might be a good place to consider for the logistical reasons given in that post, but other regions of the world may be satisfactory.

If you do this, remember that you're trying to convince a skeptical world that you're right and they're all wrong, so take meticulous notes, by hand, in ink, in a notebook with numbered pages (this is common lab procedure). Correct errors (everyone makes some) by striking out the incorrect info so it can still be read, and write the correction next to it. Each person on the crew needs his own book, and all measurements need to be noted by (at least) two different people. The original notebooks will need to be preserved and made available for inspection; expect intense scrutiny if you're using this as evidence that overturns almost all of the sciences.

If you manage to create a convincing case for the flat earth, contributions will flow in for your more ambitious project and you'll be sharing a Nobel Prize.

Heck, if the project seems well-enough thought out, I might loan you a 1930s-vintage Dietzgen surveyor's transit and/or donate some money if I or a designee were allowed to witness the survey.

We all know what would happen if you actually tried this, however: your loops won't close if you take accurate measurements but assume no curvature of earth's surface. You don't really have confidence in the flat earth idea but want to keep pretending you do, so there's no way a project that could definitively prove or disprove it will be undertaken.

I love how the FE'ers again, didn't answer the question.  They tried to evade it again by getting stuck on the Greek philosophy point.  A point that really doesn't make a difference in the original question.  Just proves that they have no proof on anything.  They just get their jollies from trolling on these forums and trying to sound intelligent discussing dumb ideas.  The said thing is that most of them probably weren't even indoctrinated into these ways of thinking.  They decided on their own one day to believe something that has been proven wrong time and time again.  I'm honestly surprised they haven't tried to create a religion based of their asinine views.  These are the same type of people that sat in a chamber with Constantine and decided what should and shouldn't be in the bible long ago.  Trying to control people thoughts and beliefs.  When any skeptical person who practices critical thought can easily see right through their entire argument. 
SCIENCE BITCH!!!

Yeah, that is all of us round earthers POV on flat earthers.

Er...  Jimmy is a round earther.
How could you be sure of earth shape when you can not tell the difference between a REer and a FEer?
If a REer says something stupid and another REer points out the stupid you automatically conclude its a FEer attacking.
Is that science?
Are you OK?

Are you OK count: 2

So please tell us if you are a round Earther or flat earther, if you don't, you are very useless and mean nothing here.

Alright, everybody STOP. Just STOP. Nobody post after me, nobody do anything until SOMEONE ANSWERS THE FREAKING QUESTION.
We have given all of you plenty of reasons. You need to stop ignoring the simple FACTS and all that would make your life EASIER with proving your THEORIES. Stop dancing around like beautiful princesses- just say something that actually matters.
