And again, not just you, myself as well. If I had to hazard a guess as to my level of understanding of the actual universe, I'd guess I understand less than 5% and that is being generous by probably a factor of 5 :p.
How true. My wife is an infinitesimal part of the universe and I don't understand her at all!

Why would God create a pancake earth while all other heavenly bodies are globes?

Most flat earthers I’ve encountered don’t even think the planets ARE planets. They think they’re just lights, like the stars.

Even though you can see them.

And see the moon’s moving around them.

And see that they’re moving differently than all the others lights.

And even see that they move in front of the Sun, unlike any of the other lights.

I'm betting then that most flat Earthers have never used a telescope. Or even binoculars for that matter.

I'm willing to wager that a good portion of FEers (and indeed other conspiracy theory supporters) here are nothing but trolls. Some of the stuff that flows out of their keyboard is just such sheer stupidity that it makes me believe they're here for the sole purpose of making light of the complete foolishness of FE "theory".

For a group of people that like to talk about trusting their senses, it’s notable when they choose to ignore those senses.
In my opinion, the Flat Earthers are a group that is defined not so much by believing the Earth is flat, but rather, they are defined by a need to demonstrate self appointed intellectual superiority.

If we all thought the earth was flat, Flat Earthers would claim it was a sphere...

that is, they are Contrarians.

THey need some sort of cause that enables them to walk around thinking they are better and smarter than everyone else. This is why the correlation is so high between Flat Earthers and Conspiracy theorists.

COnspiracy theories are another vehicle that enable you to think that you and you alone were "smart enough" to see the truth that everyone else was too dumb or blind to see...

I realize that would be too much for trolls to handle.

The first point is inaccurate. They actually duplicated the result of the Michelson-Gale experiment, demonstrating the rotation of the ether. The second point is also inaccurate as the test with Jeran was inconclusive as the measurement supported neither the globe or flat earth hypothesis, and is currently under planning for a retest. If you want more info, I guess you'll just have to watch the 3-hours of detail I left in the other thread.
When the Globebusters admit, in their own words on camera, that the experiment confirms globe Earth I'll take their word over yours. It's not a Youtube video, it's a documentary about Flat Earthers. Your unwillingness to accept the evidence for what it is tells us much about your blinkered attitude.

I've already responded to this point. After numerous threads of this garbage by the core of people around here, I'm just at a point where I simply don't care any more what you all think about FE or myself.

You can think I'm a troll, a liar, a dishonest little weasel, an insane monster, or even (for some of you) Satan's minion. Whatever you all wish. But at the end of the day, the earth will still be flat, and I will still be correct, and I still would have told everyone the truth time after time after time, but I'm done doing that now.

Yet when people ask you specific questions about FE or how to explain things you give wishy-washy answers or get extremely defensive.

Which just begs the question of what you think you're accomplishing here? :scratch:

For a guy who doesn’t care about participating in this thread, you sure are participating in this thread an awful lot.

It's just an incorrect assumption that the flat earth does not rotate around the center in reaction to the rotations of the sun and planets. For every action there must be an equal and opposite reaction..... let me repeat that well known science. For every action there must be an equal and opposite reaction.....

I think it is a good start and I just wanted to encourage you not to quit when you are obviously on a roll. :)

"...numerous threads of this garbage" is pretty accurate. So why do FEs continue spouting it?

I haven't seen anyone call you any of those things. You have been called things like ignorant, blinkered and deluded which are arguably correct.

But at the end of the day, the earth will still be flat, and I will still be correct, and I still would have told everyone the truth time after time after time, but I'm done doing that now.
Not on this globe Earth.
