I can only watch so much stupid before it starts to hurt. What I find annoying is that you post those videos without giving them any critical evaluation yourself. If it's pro flat earth, then you automatically give it a pass without any investigation as to the veracity of their claims.

My mistake - Sorry.

I have to disagree, some of the f/e video's are very informative and very true.
Every video I've watched that you've posted has been trivial to debunk, and I've made the effort to watch most of them up until recently.

Nope. They either make stuff up or lie

This is what you assume, how do you know they are lying, because it's info that doesn't fit in with your globe nonsense.

Because their explanations don’t match reality, such as their denial of satellites for example.

That's exactly what you say - "ALL testimonies, eye witness accounts and photos; fake".

And what is reality, a spinning ball ?
Well, we can crowdfund you to go on a rocket into space, so you can see for yourself that the Earth is a sphere bro: There's a Crowdfunding Campaign to Send a Flat-Earther to Space (article from 2021). Nothing can get through a flat-Earther's head, so what is the point of this thread, when we can be discussing more important matters such as fighting climate change, or helping the poor?

A'ight, I'm outta here, cos the earth is a sphere (well, more technically an oblate spheroid/ellipsoid): GSP 270: Datums

And what is reality, a spinning ball ?
A pragmatic person would say a spinning ball makes more sense based on every observable planet in our solar
system appears to be a spinning ball, let alone the sun and the moon.

What is more interesting is the idea that all the light we see from the milky way and other galaxies is just created
without an actual source. There is literally no way we could ever find out because we cannot travel even to the
edge of our solar system in our lifetime, so scientifically everything is just an hypothesis.

Part of our faith is centred around one thing, our relationship with God and love in our lives.
In a real sense the creator declares that this is what He cares about most.

Proving someone right or wrong has never been the issue, it is how we respect the Lord, ourselves and others.
The trouble with conspiracy theories is it implies intent, when actual spiritual darkness is about being lost without
knowing a way out. The most lost believers I have come across is those who think the optimism of love is an
illusion and evil while declaring they know the Lord and believe those who want to follow Jesus and His way
are worse than murders. Wherever hatred takes root, you know the Lord is not present. God bless you

@Apple Sky Another thing to notice from for example the PBS Nova series (in cooperation with Brian Greene) is that there is no scientific conspiracy - many great scientific concepts and many great scientists who created them were actually not accepted in the beginning and were proven right even decades later.

And on the other hand, even great and recognized names like Einstein were proven wrong in some areas by somebody less known, later.

This does not fit the flat earth narrative.

FE'ers lie:

The purported Nikola Tesla quote about earth having no edges and gravity being disproven was neither written nor said by the Serbian inventor, multiple experts told AAP FactCheck.

It appears to have come from a Facebook post originally attributed to another source and circulated in “flat earth” groups, while the brief final sentence of the claimed Tesla saying is a distorted version of a line in a 1900 essay by the inventor.

.... AAP FactCheck contacted several experts on Tesla regarding the meme’s quote. A spokesperson for the Tesla Museum in Serbia, which houses an extensive archive of the inventor’s writings and lectures, said in an email the words in the post were “not written or said by Nikola Tesla”.

Dr Niyazi Yükçü, a physicist from Adiyaman University in Turkey and Turkey’s secretary for the Tesla Memorial Society of New York, agreed and told AAP FactCheck: “Throughout all my studies, I have never come across such an idea from Tesla.”

…. Iwan Rhys Morus, a professor of history at the University of Aberystwyth in Wales and author of the biography, Nikola Tesla and the Electrical Future, described the post’s quote as “definitely bogus”.

“To my knowledge, Tesla nowhere has anything particularly specific to say about gravity – he certainly didn’t argue anywhere that electromagnetic radiation disproved gravity,” he told AAP FactCheck in an email.

“He certainly did think the earth was a planet – his theory as to how he could transmit electromagnetic energy wirelessly depended on it.”



Either come up with your claimed quote in original writings, recordings by Tesla/authenticated reports of Tesla's spoken word or stop repeating FE lies.

Because you can't come up with the original authenticated quote from Tesla. Unless you do, the people who study Tesla are correct, he never said it. A meme is not proof or evidence of anything it claims.

Seriously, are you this gullible??

Because they looked on a fact checking website?

As I said, any claims made in this day and age are easily verifiable. And, more likely than not, if they are found to be false there will be some kind of lawsuit.

You're the one who brought it up, the burden of proof is on you. All you have is a meme. I posted clear evidence from experts who have been responsible for gathering original writings and artifacts of Tesla. If they didn't say what is claimed, they would be suing. They are direct quotes attributed to them.

And you still haven't come up with your claimed quote from any authenticated source.

Seriously, seriously, seriously, you surely cannot be so gullible as to put your trust in a meme, can you???????
