You don't need to be a mythbuster to prove that the Earth is round, you just need to be able to think a little. Unfortunately the round Earthers who frequent this forum appear incapable of that. Well I exaggerate a little, but I often feel an urge to show them just how easy it is. I've dropped soooooo many clues whenever somebody gets close to a good subject to use to prove it (or at least prove that the current FE model doesn't work and that the RE model does work for my experiment). The funny thing is that we (the FEers) ultimately try our best to push the REers in the right direction, but instead of excepting what we say and coming up with real proofs, they fight our statements with unprovable argument.
I think Sceptical Scientist put it very well when he commented that for most REers, the shape of the Earth is a belief instilled through acceptance of authority and not a scientific fact (for them). Erasmus also wrote a very good post a while ago about how he hoped that people would learn about questioning 'truth' and acceptance through this forum. Maybe in the majority of cases that doesn't happen but I think there are a few people occasionally who do get it.
Actually it's interesting because I'm just reading about memes and some proposed evolutionary reasons as to why people believe in God in The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins and you actually can see the very things he's talking about in the dogmatic RE believers (as opposed to those who don't need to 'believe'). This forum perfectly illustrates his points and I suggest everybody reads it. It gives such a better perspective of this place and I think it finally explains to me why people argue the RE side and why so many people get so angry and worked up about it.
