  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Astronomers claim to be educated yet were wrong by a factor of 30 the amount of matter coming into our system. Every model they had of the suns heliosphere was falsified. So their claimed education did no more good than had you taken a guess at it....
That's the way Science works.

Someone submits a hypothesis ... which is then tested against the observations.

They already published there, then found all their models were wrong anyways, despite the approval of their peers.

But that’s the problem, you don’t care if they are wrong, just that they say what you want to hear.....
This is a fiction ...

Well, we have, and even if we haven't, give me a good reason why I have to explain anything about myself to you.
Courtesy.
Good manners.
A desire to demonstrate a sincere desire to engage in a productive exchange of ideas rather than to preach.
A willingness to accord respect for a member who would reciprocate if requested.
A means of providing insight that will help the reader better understand the argument you are presenting, or the means by which you arrived at it.

There are five reasons. What are your reason for declining? I can think of several. Most are not flattering, but until you provide some answers the unflattering ones will hold sway.

It is basically the subject of all that time, so no.
Are you trying to make everyone think you're dishonest? I thought I'd give you the benefit of the doubt and began listening to your first link. It's the last time I will pay you that courtesy. After 15 minutes I'd discovered that it's possible to send a letter within USA for 2 cents. Is that all Flat Earthers care about? There was no mention of the failed experiment. At that stage I have up.

They start talking about it 17 ish minutes in. (I listened at 2X speed, starting where you left off. lol). Basically, they're saying the documentary crew manipulated the footage, and that in reality, even the globe earthers who were present agreed that nothing conclusive came from the experiment.

Yay! they picked option #1, as I predicted!

Ooh, does that make me a prophet?
