Are Hardcore Conspiracy Theorists Retarded?

[JudasAnthony]

I think stupidity should be a bannable offense so that we can stop it's spread

I completely agree... especially flat earthers. Was Scyther banned for his flat earth nonsense?

I mean come on prove to me that the earth is round.
If my saying that it is not is such a rediculis statement that I deserve to be bant.
Then you easily providing me with the evidence should be a given.
The problem is that you think you have so much evidence, just as I thought that I did...But you dont

On a cloudless day lady liberty can be seen up to 60 miles away. The circumference of the earth is 25000 miles which would put the rate of curve at 8 inches per mile squared. Lady liberty should not be visible up to 20 miles away according to your math let alone 60

Like I said before, just admit you're a pretty big troll. Otherwise, you're just an idiot who refuses to understand science. A troll is bad but much better than the latter.

Is this the evidence that you have came up with after 15 minutes?
The best you could do is revert to calling me a troll?
I am not trolling anyone, This thread implied that people who believe in conspiracy theories are retarded, the op even mentions flat earthers as being extra stupid.

I am defending a cause that I believe to be accurate.
I am not belittling anybody nor am I hurling out insults.

I am calmly typing on the phone and listening to The stranger by Billy Joel.

I again ask in all seriousness for some sort of proof in this wickedly assine idea that the earth is a pear shaped rock hurling through space.

Are you a christian?

I'm a Christian and believe the earth is round. The vast majority of Christians do. I'd suggest there are as many or more other demographics who believe the earth is flat.

And actually, some of the more compelling YouTube videos arguing a spherical earth are made from Christian/Catholic groups.

In actuality too, there is a significant segment within Islam that teaches and believes the earth is flat due to the Q'uran's earth descending into a muddy pool every night and other verses. There are YouTube clips showing imams/clerics ardently arguing this position.

Not so many Christians arguing this position though there are some. Just like there are some atheists who argue flat earth as well.

Anyone else check into this thread every few hours just to laugh?

Perhaps you're right. On a plane you don't notice how fast you are going. Same as with a car, I concede that you can throw balls inside of a car and all that jazz.

However I must remind you that a car and airplane are protected from the atmosphere because the car and plane are made of metal. If you were to open the window to a car and stick your hand out then you feel the acceleration. If you were to rip the door from the plane midflight you would most certainly feel the speed.
Last time I checked the earth does not have windows nor does it have a door.

The atmospheric gasses act as a barrier to that which is without. Density, pressure and temperature also work together to create this shielding barrier. Meteors and space junk burn up when entering it, with the rare occurrence of a remnant making it to earth (usually in very small form).

This must be why every thing that launches from NASA goes up and then into an arch. They must be waiting for the curve of the ball earth to become cloudless so they can make it through that fiery ring that melts rock but not metal

Flat Earth is just another "they lie about everything so they are probably lying about the Earth being round" too. They then try to find science to fit their claim and data. That's the opposite of how science works and is the same thing Creationists try to do with evolution.

Every single company that has ever launched a satellite or put anything into space would have to be in on the conspiracy. The biggest thing for me though is simply look through a telescope. There is not a single planet (and most moons) that aren't spherical. There certainly aren't any that are flat. So if you think Earth is flat, we would be the most unique place in the known Universe and that's a bigger leap of faith than thinking the Earth is flat in the first place.

So you're doubling that you're not a troll? The OP is correct. I'd just fess up you're a troll.

So I'm sitting at a table and presently before me there are three mug shaped cups therefore the table must be mug shaped...
Using your logic..

We are the most unique place in the known universe. We are the only place that has life on its surface.

Actually what you just explained as a "flat eather trying to use science to prove something he don't understand.. blah blah blah.."
This is what you are doing.
I am using only my common sense to make these statements.
So far I've heard magical fire ring sky as one excuse for my point.

Then I hear magical strong gravity as an answer to another

i'm having a hard time believing this flat earth shit is real. i mean being anti-intellectual is one thing, i get it that there's religious nuts that shit their pants over evolution or carbon dating. but this takes shit to a whole new level, b/c it's not just denying science, it's fabricating this ridiculous reality of an international government conspiracy.

which is why i'm fairly convinced people like judas aren't actual morons, he's paid by whatever entity to go on forums and talk about this shit just to rile people up. which clearly works b/c look at the response he's gotten in this thread. what the goal is i don't know, just being confrontational i guess to get people angry at each other. b/c then someone goes from this thread into a thread about politics and suddenly people are ready to throw bombs at each other.

Again I think the issue is a lot of it isn't real, its people either doing it as a game or just to troll who don't actually believe it, those two things don't need some kind of outside force to come out, there all over the net.

It has also I think been seriously taken up by some people though with either religious or just anti scientific drives.

I'm not saying that most christians believe the earth is flat but it's pretty obvious that the overwhelming majority of flat earthers are whacko biblical literalists.

I've asked Judas to just admit to being a troll a few times, and he would rather be portrayed as an idiot than a troll. Is it all part of the game because from now on, I'm going to think he's a legit idiot.

 

[splendica]

In fact I believe if you look into it, the majority are Muslims. And I believe the movement has spread to the west from that direction.

But yes, there are some Christians who believe it too.

It's quite a bit different from sitting at a table. We have telescopes that can see vasts distances into space. Every planet we have ever uncovered has been spherical, every star, every moon. Why would Earth be any different when we literally have billions of examples? Right there alone makes it a pretty safe assumption that you are on something similar. That along with the fact that we have hundreds of independent companies launching satellites, space missions, rockets, photographs, videos, etc. that show that the Earth is spherical, there just leaves no question.

Creationists will ignore the fact of evolution and the overwhelming evidence of evolution via natural selection by appealing to ignorance. "The eye couldn't possibly have formed on its own because it's too complex" so therefore evolution doesn't exist. When you do explain to them how it forms, they don't buy it. The thing is, they are caught up on just one thing while ignoring every other piece of evidence.

Flat Earth'ers are doing the same thing.

Not to not pick but you just told me there are hundreds of photographs of this spherical earth. Can you produce even one?
