Publishing wacky ideas does not make them science.

Can you provide any evidence that the world is not round?

Can you provide any evidence that the world is flat?


No you can't so your argument is void until you can. If you could then there wouldn't be any need for debate :)


You are basically saying that the flying spaghetti monster exists because no one has taken photos from all possible angles to prove that it doesn't exist - that's how religion works, not science

lol posted it so many times and he just changes the subject every time.

OP reminds me of something Kurt Vonnegut wrote in Mother Night

Quote (Kurt Vonnegut)
I have never seen a more sublime demonstration of the totalitarian mind, a mind which might be likened unto a system of gears where teeth have been filed off at random. Such a snaggle-toothed thought machine, driven by a standard or even by a substandard libido, whirls with the jerky, noisy, gaudy pointlessness of a cuckoo clock in Hell.

The boss G-man concluded wrongly that there were no teeth on the gears in the mind of Jones. 'You're completely crazy,' he said.

Jones wasn't completely crazy. The dismaying thing about the classic totalitarian mind is that any given gear, though mutilated, will have at its circumference unbroken sequences of teeth that are immaculately maintained, that are exquisitely machined.

Hence the cuckoo clock in Hell - keeping perfect time for eight minutes and twenty-three seconds, jumping ahead fourteen minutes, keeping perfect time for six seconds, jumping ahead two seconds, keeping perfect time for two hours and one second, then jumping ahead a year.

The missing teeth, of course, are simple, obvious truths, truths available and comprehensible even to ten-year-olds, in most cases.

The wilful filing off of gear teeth, the wilful doing without certain obvious pieces of information...

...That is the closest I can come to explaining the legions, the nations of lunatics I've seen in my time.
