RE: Behind The Curve: Flat-Earth Conspiracy Documentary
I think that this idea, theory or whatever you want to call it it's pretty easy to counter, what we have to do to refute it isn't try to explain the complexities of having a spheric Earth it's to let them to prove their crucial fact. Where the hell is the border if the Earth is flat?.
No one can prove that simple question in the Flat earth theory, and it's pretty absurd to try to prove that.
True, according to the documentary, the south pole is the edge.
Therefore, all you'd have to do is fly across the south pole to debunk flat-earth.
However, what would happen then?
No one is going to change their mind.
The evidence will simply be bent around the assumption:
This is why I make the claim that this is a faith-based argument,
because everyone is begging the question and assuming the conclusion is true.
This is why we need to stop trying to provide evidence and animosity in the face of faith-based arguments, and instead attempt to provide trust and love. No one changes their mind because they were insulted or ridiculed; quite the opposite really.
