Unless you go up into space and look at it, you can not say that the Earth is not flat. You are just trusting the word of someone else. You don't actually know it yourself.


Lol.

It'll still look flat from outer space


LMAO.

While I agree that the Earth is not flat, the flat-earthers do have a theory for that


Theories are supposed to be scientifically viable. There is absolutely no scientific basis for a flat earth.

If by theory you mean "elaborate implausible explanations," yes. Really we should call it a theory. I propose "bullshit" a more fitting term.

I've never really seen a flat-earther who was a pilot or sailor come to think of it...

You also can't say that it is flat without doing so. Instead, you're left to observe what you can and extrapolate accordingly based on the principles you know. Having seen the curvature of the earth from high altitudes many times, as well as understanding that gravity overwhelmingly favours the formation of spheroids when acting on a cosmic scale, I'm fine assuming that it is as round as I have been told.

This is also why I know earth isn't hollow, as much as it would be cool of it was...
This is why you know earth isn't hollow?

And you don't think the first guys to do it wouldn't have thought "How cool would it be if we hollowed this thing out"?

I mean aren't the cicadas back after 17 years or whatever

what do you think they were doing

Time zones seem pretty conclusive to me. If Im talking to someone during their nighttime and its day for me I dont see any realistic explanation other than round.

Or, you know, just seeing it from a plane or something.

There are much easier targets, frankly. Why not doubt that electrons exist? You can have a better discussion there.

Couldnt you, though? Like when they light up a flat stage on certain parts, where other parts are completely dark?

Again, I dont believe in flat Earth

Well, maybe if we constructed some walls between different areas. Kind of like the Lego Movie world. :) I have yet to observe one of the walls, though.

How do you know the USA has 50 states unless you personally visit them all?

Except it doesn't. A few of the so-called "States" aren't really states so much as commonwealths.

I meant along the lines of, how do you know Wisconsin really exists unless you go there? And even if you go there, how do you know you're really there?

Once you start to slosh around in the sewers of "How do you know anything is true unless you have direct personal experience of it?", it can be a short skid and a slide into "How do I know if anything really exists outside of my own head?"

No your original claim was it was on YouTube. Burden of proof doesn't shift unless you prove that first.

But you didn't care

You were just like "so it's not proof"

Now you care whether it actually exists!?

Damnit you people

You should go research magnetic energy generators, those are definitely on youtube

You tried to claim the burden of proof was on any of us when it's still on you.
