What a question, 500 years after Maegellan sailed around, 100 years after flights around the world and a 55 years after seing it from the Moon. 

Have you seen who was elected POTUS at the last election?

Cheers. I linked and had a look. IMHO religion is the greatest crime against humanity and for me it isn't all the social control and killing it's the brainwashing of children from birth to believe in something that doesn't exist to perpetuate the myth generationally that's the greatest crime.

Ah, but all the things you mention never happened or were just PhotoShopped. 🤣

I'm not so sure the earth is as it's depicted in this image. Photoshopped for sure.

 

Where does this 'squareness' come from? Think it's nonsense.

The Internet is never wrong.

Magellan circumnavigated on an East-West trajectory. Nobody has ever circumnavigated on a North-South trajectory (because it is impossible to do on a level plane).

Research these purported feats and you will see that none of them actually correspond to what is claimed. This is why it is so important to think critically, independently and always double-check information.

Oh dear, clutching at straws. The Earth is a spheroid and all the FE's are striving and arguing among themselves after the 24 hour Sun debunked flat earth (which FE's said coundn't happen) Get over it.

There is no such thing as "the FEs" as a monolitic entity, there are all types of individuals who challenge the heliocentric model, with various levels of motive and relevance.

 

You now know that North-South travel has never happened, you haven't completely lost your time.

Yes I think I have lost time...replying to to you. Open your eyes and ears. Dave Weiss, one leading FE YOUTUBER, stated categorically that a 24 hour couldn't happen on a Flat Earth. And yes I know about the diverse ideas within the cult but ultimately 'it's a flat Earth'. Jeran Campanella, one of the FE's who went on the Antarctic trip Sun has admitted he was wrong and that there is a 24 hour Sun. He has left the FE cult, received many insults etc. but he now knows that the Earth isn't flat. It is you who needs to question and start thinking with an open mind. You are missing so much wonder living in a FE Closet.

One of the defining characteristics of a cult is hostility, by the cultists and directed at the individuals who break away from the cult. The 16 pages of this thread are an unequivocal illustration of this principle.

 

I respect your belief in heliocentrism and understand where you are coming from.

 

Dave Weiss is a human being with all the flaws that entails. I am sure he has said and done a lot of stupid things.

Your ability to sustain a well-mannered discussion is commendable and reflects a respectful approach to dialogue.

 

However, your assertion implies that cults are inherently hostile, particularly toward those who depart, and that this conversation serves as an example of such behaviour.

 

In forming this analysis, you overlook a crucial factor: people tend to have little patience for sheer absurdity. Hostility in discourse often arises from frustration rather than dogmatic allegiance, and this does not render the heliocentric model cult-like in any sense.

 

 

Ultimately, debating someone who questions the heliocentric model (specific to our solar system) is an exercise in futility, as the argument is inherently asymmetrical. Science is grounded in falsifiable evidence, whereas conspiracy-driven thinking thrives on beliefs that evade falsification. When one side disregards empirical data, logical reasoning inevitably collapses into an unending cycle of denial and misinterpretation.
