>>689913717
This only happens in the US. Here in Europe we don't use science books to wrap hamburgers.
Also it's been known since the ancient greeks that the earth is round. Their proof, which is correct, was that the shadow of the earth on the moon is a circle every time of the year, and that is possible only if the earth is a spheroid. If it were flat, we'd see the shadow stretching more and more as the relative position to sun changes. Those people just want to keep their eyes closed to live in a world of imagination avere their cock is big.

The Earth is flat, and we do live inside a firmament. Science will only explain in theory why everything you see is either a light refraction, mirage, or an optical illusion. You are a blind man.

Science is a religion, and every year since the age of six you've been told Earth is a sphere, and it revolves around the sun. If you actually took the time to come to your own conclusion instead of insulting others for their beliefs you'd actually see it.

But you won't, because you people are too thick. Happy fapping, but when everything turns to shit just remember to look in the mirror, because that's the only person you can blame.
>>
>>689916226
No we fly over the north pole all the time, its called the Santa route, but ive never heard of a complete south pole flyover, just to the pol and than fly back.

with there being more people on earth ever before, there is a higher number of idiots on the planet than ever before, according to the law of averages. i know the theory is retarded but thats because it was concieved by the retards that have gained in number in recent years

So, you're saying that you don't have any real reason to believe that the earth is round?

Did you ever climb a mountain and look at the horizon? It's flat.
Did you ever walk a long time on a straight road, or even upwards? How can there be long flat or upwards roads when the earth's round?

I never said that for example china existed.
I know that the earth exists and that it's at least as big as i went. I assume that the earth exists as it's said, but I don't call people morons because they don't believe it.

But there is no proof for a round earth. There is just people saying it and I don't know why I should trust them.

But there is a lot of proof that the earth is flat. It's a logic conclusion from what I can see and feel.

>science is a religion

"Well, science is not religion and it doesn’t just come down to faith. Although it has many of religion’s virtues, it has none of its vices. Science is based upon verifiable evidence. Religious faith not only lacks evidence, its independence from evidence is its pride and joy, shouted from the rooftops. Why else would Christians wax critical of doubting Thomas? The other apostles are held up to us as exemplars of virtue because faith was enough for them. Doubting Thomas, on the other hand, required evidence. Perhaps he should be the patron saint of scientists."

"Now in practice, of course, individual scientists do sometimes slip back into the vice of faith, and a few may believe so single-mindedly in a favorite theory that they occasionally falsify evidence. However, the fact that this sometimes happens doesn’t alter the principle that, when they do so, they do it with shame and not with pride. The method of science is so designed that it usually finds them out in the end."

"I want to return now to the charge that science is just a faith. The more extreme version of that charge — and one that I often encounter as both a scientist and a rationalist — is an accusation of zealotry and bigotry in scientists themselves as great as that found in religious people. Sometimes there may be a little bit of justice in this accusation; but as zealous bigots, we scientists are mere amateurs at the game. We’re content to argue with those who disagree with us. We don’t kill them."

If you actually took the time to look at other people's conclusions with your own sensibilities, instead of insulting others for their beliefs or findings, you'd actually see this.

Genuinely disappointed in you, anon.

Sadly, most people listen to the government and big companies and don't think about it.

They are being told people went into space and saw how the earth was round. And they believe it.

They are being told there is such a thing as gravity and it's not just the earth as a flat disk rising upwards. And they believe it.

People like to believe what they are being told, so they don't have to think themselves.

Because even though majority of us go through the educational system, not everyone fully understands the "Why" in most subjects.

Most people just regurgitate what the Professors say and move on with their lives without fully thinking about it.

I understand not all conspiracy people try to use sound logic when debating with someone with opposite beliefs. But there are some who truly try to question and test things and go against regurgitating information like a mindless drone. To get mad at these people is counter productive. Some people learn this way. If a FE actually fully understands what gravity is by believing in this conspiracy then let them.

FE brings some questions to the table (Some easy to debunk and some not easy) let's all debunk or explain them so we can all leave with a better understand of the world itself.
