Conspiracy about the flat earth conspiracy - Thread bans in OP

I joined an FB group called flat-earthers for Jesus, thinking it would be fun. Reader, it was not.

He also presented it in the form of a comic dialogue which ridiculed the Pope of the time as a simpleton, annoying him and his supporters the Jesuits. Galileo had a lot of enemies among other scientists and they helped put the boot in too.

My favourite Galileo quote is when he said that a Barbary steed can outrun a hundred wagon-pulling horses (meaning that he was smarter than every other scientist and intellectual in Italy combined).

this guy? the article reads like it belongs on Waterford Whispers news

some highlights:

Do you believe the Earth isn't a globe?

Sorry, not sure what point you're trying to make here by dragging up a months old post?

Are you seriously suggesting the earth is flat? Or are you just pretending to troll people?

You already believe some very wild things, so I don't think you now suddenly being a flat earther is going to have the effect you think it does.

No, when a ship goes over the horizon, zooming in doesn't make it come back. When it goes over the horizon it means that from your position, it has travelled far enough along the curve of the Earth to be blocked by the shape of the Earth.

Here is a simple and clear illustration for you:

You can also have fun and experiment with this yourself using a soccer ball and a ruler.

If the world is flat and the night sky is something that covers it, then all of the night sky would be visible from all points on the discworld.

When we look up at night, we see that there are stars from horizon to horizon and that these change over the course of the night. Similarly people in the southern hemisphere see this, but with stars that people in the northern hemisphere cannot and vice versa.

The distance between Ireland and Austrailia makes no difference here. Your statement makes no sense.

Could you perhaps explain how you believe this works in your view if you actually believe it are aren't just pretending to be a flat earther for some silly reason.

Gravity holds the atmospheres of planets to their surfaces.

Again man, what point are you trying to prove by pretending to be a flat earther?

Do you not notice how the silly fake arguments you are using here to sound ridiculous don't sound all that much different than the agruments you use for the conspiracy theories you do believe in?

Again man, you're pretending to be a flat earther for some silly reason.

What point are you trying to make?

You know you're only serving to discredit conspiracy theorists even further right?

Either you're trolling and demonstrating that conspiracy theorist arguments are indistinguishable from a troll pretending to be a complete idiot.

Or you genuinely believe this stuff.

"If you think the earth is a globe, explain to me how it manages to hold trillions of gallons of water on a ball?"

Gravity

"Explain space and the vacuum it supposedly has"

Space doesn't have air, so it's a vacuum

"Is it impossible to have the earths pressurised atmosphere coext next to a vacuum without a solid barrier to separate them"

The air thins. It doesn't just suddenly stop.

"Space does not exist"

So uh, what is up there? what is the moon? planets? stars? comets?

"There are no genuine photos of film footage of the 'globe' earth, they are all photoshopped, composites, paintings or CGI, Research it"

There are.

So you believe we are on what exactly and how does it work?

Lol no man. I'm not in any particular fear of a guy who believes (or pretends to believe) the earth is flat making me look stupid.

You're wrong however. The natural laws of physics only work with a globe earth.

The reason you're claiming different (or pretending to for some reason) is because you're just simply ignorant of them.

But if you don't believe the Earth is flat, what shape is it?

How do you explain things like Australians seeing different stars and constellations?

And again, do you not realise that posting this, either as a troll or as a genuine belief only serves to make yourself and your fellow conspiracy theorists look even more foolish?

I've asked you this several times now. Are you afraid of giving an answer because it will make you look like a fool in front of everyone?

Long experience on this forum has taught me to suspect what you are doing here is trying to lure people into "proving" stuff that you will never accept ;)

If you want to understand how gravity works, in relation to all this "flat earth" stuff, here is an excellent video. It addresses all your "doubts" on the subject and more.

If you aren't a parody account or trolling, and you genuinely consider the world is flat and space is "fake", feel free at any time to explain how that all works, in your own words. You don't have to "prove" it, just explain how it all works. What is the moon? how does day and night work? etc

Lol. Now, you're just dumping new tangents and video links to avoid things that have already been brought up.

Again, it's kinda impossible to tell if you're trying to parody conspiracy theorists or if you genuinely think this is a good tactic.

Either way, it's not helping you.
