RE: Steem Discus: Flat Earth
Ok I tried watching the rest of it.
But......... using comments on forums like Stack Overflow (which is an excellent forum) as the basis for your argument is just not scientific.
Using comments taken out of context and then saying there that proves it, when it proves nothing, doesn't work for me.
I also have a huge problem with the religion of science. That science is always right, has the only truth and everyone else is wrong.
There is a lot that science cannot (yet) explain. But real scientists never claim to have all the answers. Ask anyone in the business of science and they will tell you that every answer just leads to more questions.
Religion is the only sphere that says it has all the answers, and you shouldn't question.
I'm not anti-religion really. You are welcome to believe what you want and I won't mock you for it.
What annoys with the Flat Earth argument is that it tries to use science to prove a religion. And that's just wrong. ;-)
well...you 'tried'...Your resistance comes across as strong.
Agreed about the 'religion' of science.
I don't give this stuff much attention....but i like the questions brought forth...which is cool.....which really kind of opens up bigger questions...like what do we really know for sure?

heheheh yes, the 'resistance is strong with this one'.
I like the debate. I have no vested interest in either argument really. if the earth is flat, nothing changes for me.
I still have to pay the same amount of rent, I still have to work to feed my family. I still need to get another post written and put up to earn some STEEM.
And the world is still full of idiots blowing stuff up.
One of my more interesting perspectives, having worked in government, is the notion that there is a huge coverup going on, that the government, or in this case NASA, is pulling some bug scam.
I'm not sure about the US government, but the NZ government couldn't pull off a conspiracy if it tried. The level of competence in all levels of government just isn't there. Just try getting them to organise a morning tea is a mission that requires about 100 people, fifteen departments and approvals from three ministers, two of which are overseas. And that's just to select which caterers to use. Getting them to decide on a menu is more work than I was willing to put in.
:-)
lololololololol
just maybe that's the perfect story line for the perfect cover up...
:)
just maybe the whole whack of departments is 'innocent in it's incompetence' as is just following 'protocol'....just a bunch of homer's.
maybe not though.
either way....
Common sense regards for one another is the real issue of prime importance...cryptocurrency makes for a good primer in money mechanics and quality of life..
