Tell me your scientific method to determine the Earth is moving.


Observe it from low orbit.

Observe it from a plane, or one of the many mountain peaks across the world.

Observe multiple sunsets with an ascending drone.

Have 2 people, using HAM radio, or some form of communication, several hundred, or even thousands of miles apart, east/west of each other, and they time how long it takes for the sunset to reach from one person to the other.
(this information can be used to infer the curve of the earth between them)

Or use a high powered laser, and a reflector, position across the pacific from one another, then shoot that laser and see if it reflects back, if it does, flat earth, if it does not, globe earth.

so you saw a picture of it, nice.

I got a picture of an Ewok, guess those are real too?

there os no observable curve from a plane unless the window is using curved glass

the sun set is explained by perspective


shooting a laser across an ocean - oh brother - i bet you cant even shoot a laser over a 20 mile lake

Strawman argument. You lose.

Try again?

not a strawman, just pointing out that a picture you saw on tv is just proof you'll fall for anything

your beliefs are not proofs, i dont think you'll ever understand that though

All wrong, try again.

You've never been on a plane?

Give me one way I can infer the earth is flat using any of form of experimentation or math, something that can be verified and validated by 3rd party non bias, impartial observers.

You can't. You know it. I know. The rest of jsp knows it.

Don't give me your beliefs, or crap about vedic texts.

I can provide these things. If you cannot, I win. That's how debating works.

Your admission of failing to win said argument is not required.

Your opinions, your faith, your "logic" does not and never will change the truth of reality. No matter how much you wish it did.

like the episode of MythBusters when Jamie flew up to 70k feet and said he saw the curve but forgot to look behind him - that was hilarious

BTW, I won the argument, at this point, I am just playing devils advocate for you.

Looks pretty fucking curvy to me. Again, you debate yourself.
