Alright, @Mike Snr. Jnr. Snr. has been warned for '**Bad word usage**'.

obama is a lizard

thank u for ur nonsense hulk

So, @Basil , your point is that you don't trust the people who take the photographs of earth because they also took photographs of pink nebulas and star clusters?

Oh, and purple stars exist 100%.

As I said before, the "pink" is an ionization effect.

When electrons knocked off atoms through ionization rejoin with them, they emit photons (light)

This specific light is red, and when combined with starlight, which is white, it becomes pink from far away.

Ah they're offline.

Oh bugger.

@elle would you say I won this debate?

well sure

i disproved their only rebuttal

they just left you to disprove them

yeah

👍

Hello

Here's my argument
Earth's not flat cause we have proof of:
1- Gravity
2- Gravity being less at the Earth's equator because of it's spin
3- images of earth from space
4- countless ground experiments to prove it's not flat
the usual shebang I encounter is "we don't know gravity exists" "the experiments to prove that weight was less at the equator were faked" "the photos were doctored" "the experiments were fake"
then I'm assaulted with youtube conspiracy theory videos and images that are either fake or actually disprove them

if you attempt to refute my points without using the "fake" argument, I'll be impressed

Well I may not be able to refute your points

Then you concede?

Well we can still discuss a bit

First

I wasn't aware of the study showing gravity less at the equator

You weigh a teeny bit less at the equator than you do at the poles

Centripetal force

So flat earthers usually say gravity effects are explained by density

And that gravity is essentially an unproven theory

Which is wrong, as in a vacuum chamber a hammer will still fall

So can you explain to me how it is that gravity is strong enough to hold the oceans down but allows a fragile butterfly to fly?

Because a butterfly has most of its surface area dedicated to resisting gravity.

Its wings flap, thrusting air downwards, and as each action must have an equal and opposite reaction, it is propelled upwards.

This is possible as it's an insect, and thus weighs very little, meaning that gravity has less of an effect on it.

So for me the most compelling evidence of flat earth is the cases where an object or building or land mass is clearly visible from a distance such that it should be concealed behind the curve

Usually accomplished from a height.

France is visible from the top of the cliffs of Dover, but not on the beach below.

Just as an example

I've seen many examples

There's no image there.
