RE: Flat Earth - The End Debate

in #science7 years ago (edited)

Well, I disagree with your points.

#1. Natural science does tell us we are on a spinning globe, as this has been an accepted part of physical science since the Renaissance in Europe, and even prior to those times. Using the principle of Occam's Razor, it was easier to explain natural phenomena with a round earth orbiting the Sun, especially as more precise measurements became possible, and not with a flat Earth orbited by the Sun.

As for the senses, they can be unreliable, as Ernst Mach tested in the 1800s. For example, when you are flying in an airliner, can you sense you are moving at nearly 600 mph?

#2. They have, repeatedly. But many people like you remain unconvinced, either because they don't trust the authorities (and no other reasons) or because they refuse to question their own assumptions.

There should be no debate between RE and FE models, because FE is patently wrong.
