Well my problem with the video was partly that they said: we've done experiments, we've put up balloons and rockets. but there is no *scientific* method, discussion, review. It's just *we know the truth, trust us*. I find the reasoning for the earth being flat to be incomprehensible. The earth is flat because it is suggested as being so in the bible. And NASA ans the scientific community is trying to discredit God by saying the earth is round. The whole *reason* for the Flat Earth movement is a means of proving a religion. That's trying to change the facts to fit their fantasy. And they are doing it in the same way that they are complaining about the scientists doing it. It wold be cool if the earth was flat, and there were continents to explore beyond Antarctica. But wishing it was true does not make it true. Yes I stopped listening / watching wen they said their studies were backed up by scripture. Up until that point i was interested in their experiments. enough that if they hadn't tried throwing the bible at me, i would have hunted down their experiments to find out what they did. But I'm not interested in being preached at by a religion I don't subscribe to.

i get you, i don't particularly fancy biblical references either. I did however find fascinating the research with gyroscopes and accelerometers. What i find interesting is that the modern day mainstream science is kind of touted like religion....maybe just a bit of irony... cheers, thanks for taking the time to share your perspective. Best regards. Steem On!

Ok I tried watching the rest of it. But......... using comments on forums like Stack Overflow (which is an excellent forum) as the basis for your argument is just not *scientific*. Using comments taken out of context and then saying there that proves it, when it proves nothing, doesn't work for me. I *also* have a huge problem with the religion of science. That science is always right, has the only truth and everyone else is wrong. There is a lot that science cannot (yet) explain. But real scientists never claim to have all the answers. Ask anyone in the business of science and they will tell you that every answer just leads to more questions. Religion is the only sphere that says it has all the answers, and you shouldn't question. I'm not anti-religion really. You are welcome to believe what you want and I won't mock you for it. What annoys with the Flat Earth argument is that it tries to use science to prove a religion. And that's just wrong. ;-)

well...you 'tried'...Your resistance comes across as strong. Agreed about the 'religion' of science. I don't give this stuff much attention....but i like the questions brought forth...which is cool.....which really kind of opens up bigger questions...like what do we really know for sure?
