Chinahand Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 It is a well known aspect of complex science that the unscrupulous will distort it for their own gain relying on the ignorance of those they seek to manipulate. Bamboozle is an excellent word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinahand Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 You have to admit that the argument that it’s a hologram which makes it look as though its a globe even though its flat is a doozie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTeapot Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I love this kind of thing. If you hang around on some of the fringe conspiracy areas of the internet you come across quite a few of these kind of posts, non-mainstream sort of christians, frequently obsessed with the book of Enoch. The dead sea and nag hamadi scrolls are seen as 'secret and true information' suppressed by the Catholic church, and that they as believers are in the right. Some of manxys posts have occasionally slipped into a bit of it, although that's probably from copying stuff without really paying attention. I find it fascinating.

manxman1980 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 If you listen carefully to some of the prominent, especially American, flat earthers on youtube you can often see/hear that their religious faith in the bible underpins their belief that the earth is flat, space is fake and the moon landings were a hoax. Sometimes it can be very subtle other times you will see them wearing a T-Shirt with a religious message on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While at the same time believing that Adam and Eve were the first humans, Noah lived til he was 900, Moses parted the Red Sea and Jesus died and then came back to life to save them.

Close your left eye. Look at the position of your thumb compared to the background. Now close your right eye open your left eye. Notice a change in the position of your thumb relative to the background? Now in your universe is this a natural phenomenon? what is causing it? Can you scientifically examine it?

I dont remember making a claim in relation to your question and do not see its relevence? I am going to have a go at explaining the Cavendish experiment for you, be patient. But firstly maybe answering my questions about your thumb and the changing view will help clarify things. Do you acknowledge your thumb does change position relative to the background when you open and close your left and right eyes? What causes this? In your understanding of science can this phenomenon be scientifically examined. Has PGW’s suspension ended yet? I wonder if he’ll ever answer these simple questions.

But PGW should have the right to put his point of view . I seldom agree with his views and I am guilty of mocking them, but is this banning a bit too much. Should one be banned for questioning a mod's view.?, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
