Topic	Why would NASA, the government, and academics lie about the Earth being flat?
RoboLaserGandhi 12/25/18 1:37:02 PM #6:	rikasa posted... Governments and scientists cannot admit the "truth" because society as we know it would collapse. "Because by the time they figured it out ... the industrialized world --- the cement was already cast," said Sargent, according to the Edmonton Journal piece. Sargent continued by stating: "If some scientist revealed it tomorrow on CNN, or whatever, and it was broadcast that the Earth is not (round) --- there's potential for some real shock waves, some real upheaval. The first one is academic --- literally in every university in every country, astrophysics and astronomy would have to be shut down overnight. Those would not reopen." This is another example of their reverse order thinking that skips to conclusions and ignores causes. They go "the results of such a revelation would turn the world on its head" while again skipping the whole evidence thing. You have no reason to believe the Earth is flat. You're saying you believe it's flat because it would be a devastating revelation. <cite>RoboLaserGandhi posted [p:914691775] in Why would ...
