It is your theory WHEN YOU CLING TO IT.

Let's go step by step.

The sun is shaped generally like a ball, yes or no?


Its not my theory - i believe it has some good evidence, if you cant find a reasonable explanation, your rage clearly explains your need to cling to the ball then.

So what ive learned about flat earth is that there probably is no edge to be photographed and that there is probably more land and they dont want you to think there is. And the reason the equator is hotter on average is because the sun is small and close and on average more consistently near the equator, it is not 93 million miles away - as light does not travel for infinity like you are taught - its just another aassumption and theory that is taught to you as factual proved science, and they conveniently forget to tell you how they arrive at the concept of infinity is just a paradox.


See now we can have a reasonable dialog on the topic since you decided to answer me rather then attack me. the biggest flaw I see In that theory is if there is more land what would stop people from traveling to it and coming back with proof of it?

Also something I never understood about the flat earth theory how does sun rise and set?

I am also curious as to if you think the other planets are also flat and if they are not why is earth?

Santara and all these idiots think that if i post some evidence of a viewpoint that i have to have the answer to every single one of their stupid questions and that if they rage enough about how im an az-hole they can think that the evidence was debunked - id call that shifting the goalposts and people being gullible wankers.

Which post debunks the mountain proof of flat earth, clearly your willful ignorance is without evidence and possibly explains your dogmatic blind faith of things.


Hmmm I don't recall including my stance, so I'm not sure what you think I'm being ignorant about.
My blind faith about what?
I am simply critiquing your hypocrisy and general distaste for reason.
Your assumptions disturb me.

Keep in mind, in science, the goal is to find a model that best explains and predicts.
If ONE of your predictions can not be debunked, versus the plethora in favor of the opposition...I wouldn't drag that point too far.
Based on the points that have been backed up or shot down in this thread, do you honestly believe that the flat earth model is the most reasonable?
Unless you deny the validity of the scientific method, it doesn't seem like you have any logical work arounds.

What does gravity have to do with any of that?

But to answer your question gravity is the force produced by objects the draws things to them most object are not large enough to produce enough gravity to have a noticeable effect but luckily for us humans earth is and holds us tight :)

Because you like men <- proved it

Nothing, however it has a lot to do with pm disproving his "theory"

what you need to realize, before you can even decide if he's worth your time, is that there is no conspiracy too large. he believes that the space race and likely the cold war during which it took place were faked to preserve the flat earth. He believes there is a massive worldwide conspiracy with all scientists to cover the proof. Given the new argument over plane flight speeds he also believes there is a worldwide conspiracy with everyone who is a pilot. Nasa? the king of conspiratorial organizations my man....

Just ask yourself, is there even a conspiracy too big for him to deny? He can invalidate nearly all of your evidence in a fit of ignorance with nothing more than "they're in on the conspiracy".
