Are there any Flat Earth believers here?

Now with the ad homs.

Where is the proof of evolution being possible? It’s a simple question.

Once again here is the post where the demand was made to prove that evolution is possible.

the mutations present at childbirth "prove" that evolution is possible.

He may really believe that lunacy. The problem is that he does not appear to understand even ninth grade physics, nor is he willing to try to learn.

"Wickedness is always wickedness, but folly is not always folly."

"Wickedness is always wickedness, but folly is not always folly."

in this case the only "wickedness" that I can see is his continual calling of others " liars" when his errors are pointed out. But all of his posts have been folly.

The whole purpose of flight in an airplane is for the aircraft to defy gravity and fly in the air.

So now you are saying that once the plane is in the air, there is now some magical secondary gravitational force that affects the way the craft flies through the air?

Lmao.

Really? The aircraft relies on gravity, and would not
work without it.

I'm a very happy man to not have met or seen any flat-earthers. There is a woman saying in the video: "people may think we are idiots" [true] "we aren't idiots" [false]. Sometimes i wonder what species I have been born into, was I really meant to be born into this species?

Still waiting for the opportunity to pitch my 1 dimensional earth... the line earth!

And if we could get everyone dancing?

That would be the Ultimate Line Dance, would it not?

Lmao.

Flight works by negative air pressure above the wing surfacas and positive below.

The secret is throwing the plane at the ground and missing.

It relies on gravity, it still defies it.

Obviously the idea of a flat Earth is ridiculous nonsense. If the Earth was flat, how could it be hollow?

Ya wanna see who can be more pedantic, or what?????

I bet you already knew there are square earthers all around the globe.

It isn't defying gravity. It is setting up another force in the direction opposite to gravity. The sum of those two vector forces (well, there is also the force from friction and from the engines) is what produces the acceleration on the aircraft.

Damn! That was going to be my next thread

I tend to think many Flat-earthers are simply trolling folks. They try to come up with anyway of convincing folks that the earth is flat. It's like the "unlimited energy" videos on youtube.

You think, how could I go about convincing folks the earth is actually flat and get a kick out of folks trying to prove you are wrong.

I would also say that the majority of “flat earthers” are just trolling, either because they what to get youtube views in their videos or just for fun.



“Conspiracy theories” are a good business, all you have to do is invent a crazy theory, blame the government or big corporations for hiding the truth, and make high quality and professional videos.

My best guess is that the authors of these conspiracy theories are people who don’t really believe in the stuff that they promote, but in any case I personally enjoy these theories, videos are entreating, and I always end up learning something.

Defying= to move away from. Aircraft defy gravity. I understand the whole lift thrust gravity drag thing, thanks

I do not think so. By that logic believers in the Ark myth should also be "trolling" sadly that is not the case. You will never go wrong underestimating the inability of some people to reason.

Isn't believing in a flat Earth blindly believing? You can't see it for yourself.

Flat earth theories are indeed based on blind faith. And they reject the videos etc. we receive from Space agencies.

In other words, you can't argue with them. They will say that the footage of NASA etc. is fake. Yet they believe in drawings and CGI videos made by flat earthers etc.

I've heard the claim that you can't see a ship below the horizon not because of the curvature of the Earth, but because the ship is too far away to see. But how do they explain the ship's apparent rise above the horizon? That indicates some sort of curvature or elevation. What gives?

Well, why can’t the answer be “I don’t know” we are still working for an answer? Maybe there is an unknown mechanism that is yet to be discovered that would explain such phenomena.
