not really competing

they were debating it for quite awhile

Germ theory was also debates until Coxs postulates proved it

you know what, doctors all agreed that ulcers were created by worry

they kinda are, still

Anxiety and stuff can mess with the immune system etc

Unless you have done it yourself you can't say for certain it isn't bad smell

one student doctor came along and said it was caused by bacteria

they didn't believe it, but they tested it to disprove him

and they found out he was right, so now we can treat most ulcers with biotics

thanks to this one student doctor

and that is the benefit of real science where they are willing to test it and disprove it

But you haven't addressed my argument

same with this globe nonsense, you don't believe in flat earth, then prove it, and this debate would be over quick

Prove it?

Okay

sure

the fact is that flat earth is growing movement because its more valid

FALLICY

more people are realizing the truth, as they try to prove its false, they realize its true

LOGICAL FALLACY

if you tried to disprove the flat earth, you would prove its real

just like the doctors who tried to disprove the student doctor

there is no curve, we can see too far

"Appeal to Popularity"

Ships sail over the curve

no, ships don't

Yes, they do

you've done no fricking research

I can go outside once it's day time

take my 30x zoom lense

zoom in alllll the way

and watch a ship disappear

that isn't a valid test, that is a waste of time

confirmation bias at play

my dad did the exact same thing

It wasn't supposed to be a test, it's just demonstrating that ships disappear

look at a boat with your naked eye

without the zoom

when it goes over the horizon then zoom in with your camera

Oh, yeah, sorry.
