They show the Earth to be round, which it obviously isn't. Therefore the images must be faked.

You are obviously an idiot. I've read it. It's pure bs.

I hate you and everything you believe.

Flat earth is wrong.

Why would anyone think it isn't.

But all science says it is round. It's a law. A known fact.

Can you really argue against common knowledge that is easily proven?

Thats funny, I was under the impression that most scientific theories and laws don't make any claims of the shape of the Earth.

aha! By admiting that we have an ozone layer you prove we have a phereical earth. Only a sphereical earth could support a gravity-sensitive ozone.

You see, there's this new thing called "Picture Editing Software" ...

Like Adobe Photoshop, Bryce 6, and many others.

I think he means that he wants to know how you can tell that the pictures are fake.

I mean, really, you look at that picture of Hoth. If I didn't already know that Hoth was fictional from Star Wars, and I saw that picture, I'd be pretty hard pressed to believe that it is real. Because in reality, with out knowing the truth behind it, you can't be totally sure of anything. The only option you have is to accept it until you can prove it's fake.

So then the question becomes how specifically is it fake without knowing beforehand that it's Hoth from Star Wars?

In the case of midgard's pictures, those pictures are indeed real, but not real in the sense that they for sure prove the existence of the ice wall. The last picture he used, has specific tell-tale signs that we can use to tell that it was modified.

I'd think it would be the other way around.

So if someone took a picture of my shoe, I would have to automatically deny it's validity?

Cuz it looks like my shoe, I'm wearing that shoe, it must be my shoe. Prove to me it isn't my shoe or that my shoe doesn't look like it does in that picture.

Same thing applies to earth. We (RE's) know the basic characteristics of our lonesome planet, and we have pictures that reflect these characteristics, so prove to me that the images are fake.
