If the earth us so dang flat then why did I have such a hard time leveling my bathtub in my bathroom remodel last year, answer me that Mr. Smart guy. And the flat earth theory was disproved back in 1687 when Christopher Columbus, everybody's favorite folk hero, sailed around the world in 80 days back in the olden times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm open to all rational arguments. If you watched the video then you’d know the irrefutable proof had nothing to do with what Sagan told me, but everything to do with the experiment he demonstrated. An experiment that elementary school children have been doing for generations. If that escapes you, then perhaps trying to actually refute the experiment is not in your wheel house.

You got that right and I thank you for pointing that out. I’ll wait to see an actual refutation of the experiment before I further engage with any flat earther.

No question about that one. I think that’s why we stopped going back, fear of landing too close to the edge. Them NASA guys don’t wanna take no chances!

Warcodered Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) I was going to say the sad thing is that a lot of these are actual arguments Flat Earthers use then I saw in the comments that the creator pinned their comment talking about how crazy it was that so many people thought the video was real. But this is why it's pretty much pointless to debate a Flat Earther. This was in a Flat Earth documentary on Netflix "Behind the Curve" obviously they couldn't except that and even say on camera they can't let it end that way so they conduct another experiment...that also fails. But this response was ***** gold But the saddest part of this whole thing is some poor schmuck got tricked into burning $20,000 on that gyroscope.

My favorite part was when he said he still needs to see ‘The Truman Snow’ but he can’t find it at a Redbox anywhere. Agree that the poor schmuck who paid 20k for that gyroscope got hosed, but what about the guy that Eratosthenes got to walk 800 kilometers for his experiment?

ziltoid Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 The flat earth thing was created to discredit other conspiracy theories. Say you have a good one such as "The refs are always helping the Pats/protecting Brady, why is that?" Every front running, knuckle dragging Masshole can then come back with "What are you a flat earther? Of course the refs can't preferentially protect players. It's just the Patriot way, bud. You're just not used to it, being from dumb Buffalo and all." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every flat earther needs to see this. Although I agree with this particular conclusion by Sagan, I don't think it would be hard to argue with....although only temporarily. The way to do this would be twofold: 1. Question the accuracy of the observations. There was no instantaneous communication when that guy made his calculations. How could the observations be properly validated? 2. Shoot the messenger. Sagan clearly had issues with judgement as evidenced by his atrocious fashion statement. Although sophomoric, this is indisputable. On a more serious note, Sagan through numerous implications clearly believed in the existence of intelligent alien life, an assertion since refuted by math. His credibility could be easily questioned. In 2020 point 1 above can easily be disproven. Although point 2 still holds water, it is rendered moot and flat Earthers are proven wrong.
