What's the value in deciding something if it's wrong?
The Universe doesn't care what you (or I, or anyone else) think. You can think and wish with all your might that something should or will to happen, it won't have any effect on whether it happens or not. You can, however, try to understand what has happened in the past, what is happening now, and use what has been learned to make predictions about what will happen in the future. The value of this is how well the predictions work.
There is no universe, it's in your mind. It's tehre because you are brainwashed to believe it's there because you only have your eyes as witness to what you are told is there.
The chances are that most people iniside Earth think like this, with very few actually knowing the real truth of it ALL, if they actually do know the truth of it all.
Not even I know the truth of it all but one thing I do know. We are not being told the entire truth or maybe even a quarter of it, yet this is why debates and questions are asked.
You can tell me anything till you're blue in the face but you are only using what you have been trained to use by process of brainwashing. This isn't a dig, because we are all brainwashed. It's just the severity of it which separates people.
Where are the logical flaws in mainstream models for life, the Universe, and everything? Note: your simply not liking or not believing them - for whatever reason - is not a logical flaw.
I won't go into it as it's been done before and this is a question and answer forum. All I will say is, gravity is a flaw which I've also explained in depth but won't explain in here.
There's may flaws, they are just rejected as being flaws because people have been taught to accept fantasy science.
They're mainstream not because some evil cabal is forcing them down our unwitting throats; they're mainstream because they explain what we see, and predict what hasn't happened yet very well.
Of course they explain what we see. We can be made to believe anything we see if we can't physically prove otherwise. Space being one prime example.
So where, specifically, is a flaw in the heliocentric spheroidal-earth model? Pick any one you think you see. How does your model explain it better? What predictions can your model make that will be different than the mainstream model? Predictions that can only be tested in the distant future aren't particularly useful in discussions such as these.
I'll pick one simple spherical flaw which, again, will be denied, naturally by using fantasy, but again, I will not discuss it in Q&A as this forum is too techy as to what constitutes what.
Anyway, oceans staying on Earth is a simple one.
This is an advantage? "Given out as an official model", even if true, doesn't necessarily mean something is wrong. See earlier comments about why mainstream is mainstream and useful predictions.
Nobody is saying ALL mainstream science is wrong but much of it requires serious questioning, which is what I'm doing.
"Merely a thought process" devoid of actual observations and checks against reality is usually described as "arm waving", or, in some cases, "raving". It can be amusing to dream up, and to poke holes in, but has limited usefulness otherwise.
Of course I'm arm waving. I'm not armed with the tools to set anything out as anything but. To make something believable you have to have backing of people that are capable of selling it to the masses. It's still arm waving for them but it's not seen as that because it becomes a national or worldwide truth.
Since I asked you for an example of a flaw in the mainstream model, I'll describe what I see as a major shortcoming in yours:
Someone is in, say, New Orleans, Louisiana (approx. Lat 30 N, Lon 90 W) and watching the Sun as it moves across the sky on a summer afternoon until it sets to his west. You suggest what he sees as "the Sun" is actually a reflection of a big bright thing fixed at the center of a disk-like earth that doesn't move. The reflection is coming from a fixed dome that covers the entire earth-disk and holds in the "atmosphere". A similar observer in Jacksonville, Florida (approx. 30 N, 82 W) will have seen the Sun move similarly and set about a half-hour earlier. If nothing is moving, how and why does the reflection move from east to west? How and why does it "set"? When it's setting in Jacksonville, how and why is it still higher in the sky in New Orleans?
I never said the central sun was static. You'll need to read up a bit more on what I have said. I won't explain it here.
