we can't trust everything our bodies tell us is true

Why do you never show us your evidence

rational evidence is good to a certain degree, you would still need empirical evidence to support it to become a theory

the human race has been gathering evidence since they've learned to speak

I already know it isn’t through the scientific method so wth did you use

but the empirical evidence matches with the rational evidence

We’ve been observers of the universe for nearly 250,000 years

Y'all use proof in the wrong way

and doesn't go against it

oh god

fran are you with us or them

why

what does this prove

Imagine thinking science proves things beyond a doubt, that's some 19th century philosophy of science bs

👀

@Snorf science doesn't prove, it gives us the best model that is most likely to happen

it does

there's always room for error

To improve not error

science literally is based off of stuff that we have tested and approved

If the earth is flat why can I see Everest from a plane without being close enough

and we improve on our science if its wrong

Science is a methodology to give us reasonable hypothesis for natural phenomena, it can't prove anything insofar as I can prove I'm not dreaming right now

If you think about it, if the flat earthers were correct then the world would really really suck

Yes it would

Rain would fall sideways

All water would flow downhill

We’d be dead

When I say there are infinitely many primes this is a logical necessity, it is not a logical necessity that Maxwell's equations correctly predict the behavior of electricity, anything "confirmed" by science is just something we have high confidence in

you're already assuming the earth to be spherical when you state that

we never have 100% confidence in anything though

it's still high enough

that's not proof

Think about it

and we've proven the earth isn't flat by going up into space

and seeing earth for ourselves

We thought Newton's theory of gravitation was proved until we saw mercury doing whacky thinga

what was mercury doing

@Snorf not reproducible

They’ve proved Earth wasn’t in Ancient Greece
