you have to give evidence when you're debating. you ever made a persuasive essay?

civil debate but you guys get too defensive

Dude nah I'm just explaining why you can't say "science told us so it must be true"

It don't work like that

you say fallacy but how do you disprove people that have studied this for decades

Also @jdeeznutz I couldn't tell you the reason

can i post an image?

You're asking me to explain why they'd lie and I or anyone else couldn't give you a definite answer dude. Some people could give educated assumptions though @jdeeznutz

I don’t see a reason why they would hide such a thing

I'm not saying it is that because it is a fallacy that's it is wrong jisso

http://www.appealtoauthority.info/_/rsrc/1317447839934/home/media-examples/Appealtoauthority-doctorsmoke.jpg this is an example of the fallacy u are making. if ur debating and have an argument and ur evidence is because a scientist said so its fallacious

It is that they use the distance between the earth and the sun to determine the distance between the earth and the sun...

It makes absolutely no sense

does the us not have persuasive essays? in canada its obligatory in high school

you’re saying fallacy because because my argument is invalid

What?

Dude

No

Look

If we're having a discussion and you say that "x is right because science said so" that's appealing to authority

how do you continue to disprove what astrophysicists say knowing very well that you guys have not been educated like they have?
this is a prime example of appeal to authority

Since science is a form of an institution of authority

Yeah for sure Biggie

and what is wrong with appealing to authority when we know that what they said has been proven to be fact?

Hello

post the evidence

easy

not what the astrophyscist think

Dude lol

Appealing to authority doesn't make you right if you can't prove what they state

You have sole trust in them for no reason

im 100% sure they've never done a persuasive essay

You believe this stuff they say without even looking at it

You believe the sun is millions of miles away when they don't even prove it

Can you disprove the things they post?

and im pretty sure you havent studied astrophysics

They literally say that you can determine the sun's distance between earth is to take the distance between the sun and the earth

It makes no sense

but who am i to judge? i havent either

they haven't posted any study done, they just posted their opinion and did the appeal to authority fallacy

How does that not make sense though
