Yay, they believe stuff that you can easily disprove by yourself and has been established fact for centuries. So what? It's not bothering you, just move on.
Well those people are just crazy. Also on topic, isn't one of the women from the View a flat earther?Buretsu said:Not according to Flat Earth'ers. They claim that there aren't any satellites in orbit.Snotnarok said:That's stupid, we all know that the earth became a sphere after Galileo transformed into a satellite and went into space. The earth hasn't been flat since 1241! Trust me, I have proof....the satellite is up there still isn't it? >:U
i honestly dont mean to troll or be offensive...but do you seriously believe that god would make the planet all ready billions of years old just to stop world peace?Stikibunn said:Being a somewhat "sane" variant on a creationist I feel the need to explain the theory behind young earth "science"
God, when he created the world created it in a state of "in medias res" meaning that things were created pre-aged. Science says that the universe is trillions of years old. We know that light travels at a consistant speed, that rocks age a certain way.... But if you are creating it all from nothing there are no rules, in fact you are creating those rules. When god created the stars he created the light of those stars already in motion. When he created the earth he created it to start out being millions of years old. If you are telling a story do you start with nothing? explain the character's entire boring ordinary life? No! you start at the good bit!
Now we get to the reason... why?
Well that's simple. God created the world because he wants free will. If there was 100% undeniable evidence the the roles would be reversed, only the foolish idiots with no intelligence would be athists.... that's no free will at all it's just common sense. What god wants is someone who'll love him even if it's difficult and hard to do. otherwise the entire human race would be nothing but "fair weather friends" people who just want to go to heaven when they die or only think of him when they want him to do something.
Now, back to the topic...
I think flat earth people are either really stupid or they just think it for lulz.
if you wanted to piss off your country enough to start a war, blow up a suburb. If they wanted money they would not have destroyed there WORLD TRADE CENTRE!.bullet_sandw1ch said:who are you that you can say the moon landing was real? the government might of faked it, dont know why, but they could of.evilneko said:There are also people who deny Germ Theory, that HIV causes AIDS, that man landed on the moon, that 19 arabs hijacked four planes and crashed three of them into buildings, that there was only one shooter in Dallas on that day in 1963, that man shares a common ancestor with apes, and that the Earth goes around the Sun.
If there's a crazy idea, there's a group that believes it. If there's some long-established fact, there's a group that denies it. If it exists, there's porn of it. Whatever you think of, there's a fetish for it. Just a few rules of the internet.
also, the 9/11 crashes may very well have been faked. the frame of the building could not melt from aircraft fuel like they said it did , only thermite could of. and also,the states had a reason: rally the 'mericans to agree with the government to storm the arabs for their oil. i may be wrong, you may be wrong, we will never know. only the government.
The whole point of my arguement is that "evidence" would remove the purpose of having an actual solid physical universe in the first place. God's aim in creating mankind was to make "true" freinds. Not people that use god as a thing that grants wishes like some sort of genie "O god give me this, k'thnxbi!" kinda of people. He wants people who will trust in him. Trusting a god who provide proof of his existence is easy. he says "I will help you" you can count on it, there's no doubt. Doubting but trusting anyway is truely trusting. Think of this. If there was no evil then how could we have good? and if there was no good how then could there be evil?Raven said:If you could even present a single grain of evidence for that claim I'd consider taking the idea seriously....
By the way, the universe is estimated to be approximately 14 billion years old not trillions! That's the kind of mathematical error that makes people believe the world is 6000 years old...
To be fair, most of those things are possible. Implausible, but possible. Flat Earth Society is the most absurd conspiracy theory ever established. If you even take an intro course in physics or astronomy... Hell, even geometry, you realize FES is nothing short of batshit crazy.evilneko said:There are also people who deny Germ Theory, that HIV causes AIDS, that man landed on the moon, that 19 arabs hijacked four planes and crashed three of them into buildings, that there was only one shooter in Dallas on that day in 1963, that man shares a common ancestor with apes, and that the Earth goes around the Sun.
