This is how serious the FE-ers are:

(quoted from their great FAQ)
Q: "What's underneath the Earth?" aka "What's on the bottom?" aka "What's on the other side?"

A: This is unknown. Some believe it to be just rocks, others believe the Earth rests on the back of four elephants and a turtle.

The FE-ers are a joke and laughing at us. whenever we raise a serious question they avoid the answer and say see FAQ, and this is the sort ofstupid answers we get. says it all really!!
all i can say is - stupid americans!

We are completely serious.  I have never told a joke in my life, and don't intend to until I get married.  Jokes should be an expression of love between a man and a woman with the blessing of God.  Seeing young girls flaunting their humour today is such a strong indication of the lack of morality in today's society.

and let's not even get started on the guys who share humor with other guys... how abhorrent!

You realise that while the FAQ answer is a joke, it seems the standard FET answer for what is underneath the Earth is covered by the theory of Universal Acceleration. Look it up with the search function.

The elephant and turtle is just from the Discworld series. The FAQ's point is that there are varied beliefs. I personally believe that the Government is hiding their TRUE SECRET underneith the flatearth

You started believing in this after getting so much support in the other thread, yes?  :roll:
The secret is that they're hiding a secret. Very plausible, indeed.

They're not true since the whole FE theory has been disproved of endless times over and over again. There is no "underside" of the Earth. You haven't even noticed you've already made up an idea of your own because the FE theory is so indesputably flawed.

The FE theory is only wrong ffrom a RE point of view. An FEer knows that while FE is unlikely, it is at the very least possible, and that possibility has to be dealt with

You're right, FE deals with imaginary science.

Its only imagineary if it is not possibly true. FE is paranoid and unlikely, i don't think anyone will dispute that, but it is POSSIBLE, and as such not imaginary.

It is not possible. It could easily be proven false, and in fact, it already has.

And even if it is possible, it is still imaginary unless it is true.

Hypothetically with the extention of "science is lies" and "the government hide the truth" the theory can have a chance.

and things that have not been proved are not imagineary, they are just uncertain.
It is imposible to prove that other people have consciousness, but that doesnt mean that Other people's consciousness is imaginary.

There's a subtle, but crucial difference between proving something false, and proving it impossible.

See my sig, and answer all the questions in the OP with scientifical and reasonable answers without making anything up or trying to act like you're smart.

Go to my "On a high enough ground". The theories about the ice-wall contradicts with the facts mentioned in that thread.

What about every single time I've mentioned that the FE theory can be disproved of with a telescope?
Solar eclipses?
Other planets being round?
Why arent we travelling past any stars/planets/comets, since we are travelling in such a high speed in a straight direction?
"Absence of proof is not proof of absence" is not an argument.
FE is flawed, and you're only to blockheaded to admit it since you're probably just using it as an excuse to "hate society".

It does not  really have a chance though. It's utterly false.

My point is that there is a slight chance the earth to be flat, and as such, it is worthwhile debating it.

Actually, no. FE doesn't stand a chance without the conspiracy. Think about it, if there is no conspiracy, you just look at a picture of the earth from space and FE is dead.

The conspiracy is a dumb and ridiculous concept. Even FEers realise that, but they must keep it or theor "theory" falls apart.

He didn't say the conspiracy didn't exist. He said if you assume the conspiracy is possible and can demonstrate other reasons for the earth to be flat, then it might be true.
