@Logrian

critical thinking is required in astronomy

**Appeal to Common Belief. Description: When the claim that most or many people in general or of a particular group accept a belief as true is presented as evidence for the claim.**

its the job of a scientist to question what is already believed

education is basically just briefing scientists on what the state of our current knowledge is

after they are finished with education its there jobs to look at what they have been taught from different perspectives, to question it and to improve it

scientists could say there's a unicorn on the moon and you would believe it

thats how science works thats how its always worked and thats why you get luxurious things

like the electronic device that they brought to you that you are using to demean there entire lifes work

education means to train as you would an animal, typically a horse

what does that has to do with the shape of the earth?

no i'm discounting when you appeal to the people who say it instead of what they said

what it has to do with the shape of the earth is that you are claiming you are more intelligent and more "woke" than generations of the most hard working and dedicated scientists

you're just using people as an argument instead of using actual evidence

The earth is the shape of Mr.clean

we were giving you actual evidence

who said that?

which you then shot down using people so please dont try to turn this around like that

you appealed to popular belief, that's one reason why modern education has failed us but that doesn't mean it's all bad

you're stupid but those scientists who use evidence aren't, you try to use their character instead of their evidence as an argument

damn do you really understand what i'm saying? if someone is gonna make a claim, he better have evidence not just the character who said it

yeah well we were telling you that they do have evidence dumb nut

no you appealed to popular belief, never gave any evidence

I literally told you that most of these academic resources are repeatable

anything lmao that can be verifiable

Obi-wan kenobi is space jesus

For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don't believe, no proof is possible

thats why i like measurements and observable facts, belief isnt necessary 😉

There are no planets.

Knuckles irrelevent

ok what do you mean there are no planets

your light bulb doesnt tell you the shape of the floor

Planets just means wandering stars. Stars are not planets either. Nor are they other suns.

yeah but those planets wander according to newtons theory of gravity around a heliocentric model
