RE: Are Flat-Earthers Serious?

in #flatearth8 years ago

All the scientists who have "done work" on gravity will agree...its a theory....not proven.....I understand stuff falls at 9.8m/sec and that is used to calculate the displacement of water for the buoyancy-equation......Thanks for your valued input...now give me a experiment....or stop just abusing me for having different beliefs, your a biget scum hiding behind "science" and i bet you havnt done a single new experiment ever.....so shut up and go back to your cave

Sort:  

"It's a theory". Which means you have ZERO understanding of science when you say such idiotic things! I means that you have ABSOLUTELY NO UNDERSTANDING of anything you are talking about, so you start using ad homs and tell me I'm 'abusing you' for different 'beliefs'.

Your ridiculous ad homs make it sound like I'm insulting you for your race, or that you prefer blue and I prefer orange, or something like that , when you are making a scientific CLAIM and that your scientific CLAIM is incorrect! That is not 'abusing you for your beliefs', it's telling you that what you are claiming is scientific and true, is simply not, and has been proven NOT to be true for over a thousand years.

You are ATTEMPTING to claim your beliefs are based on scientific inquiry, not using science at all, then saying that anyone who corrects your ridiculously wrong science is 'hiding behind' the science that you WANT to back up your beliefs, but doesn't, and 'abusing' you! Can you GET any more ridiculous and childish?

Make up your mind... do you want to form an opinion based on scientific principles? Or do you simply want to do whatever it takes to confirm your faith? You don't get to have it both ways. That is not how science actually works. So, in actuality, you are the one 'hiding behind' science. You LOVE to call it 'science' when it confirms your bias. But if it does not confirm your bias, you call it 'scientism' or 'pseudoscience', for no particular reason other than the fact that it does not confirm your bias! That is not, in any way, science, it's merely having a faith and being dishonest.

Now, for that 'theory' thing. A scientific theory means it's PROVEN!!!! You simply do not understand science, and use the LAY term for theory, then claim that it's unproven without having bothered to do ANY scientific inquiry on the subject whatsoever, but only repeat what you've heard on YouTube. The word THEORY in science means that is HAS BEEN PROVEN.

It's equivalent to the word 'law'. It does not, in any way, mean 'a guess'. That you think so just shows your complete and utter scientific illiteracy and that you are simply parroting the ridiculous YouTube videos from people who are equally as scientifically illiterate as you.

Here's what a scientific theory ACTUALLY means. You guys claim that there is this huge scientific conspiracy to exclude any of your 'research', but you guys don't even know how ignorant you are. They exclude you from science and won't accept your 'research' because you don't even HAVE any research. You don't even understand what science IS, you just make ridiculous unsubstantiated claims and when anyone points out your claims are wrong, you call it a conspiracy. But the fact is that you simply have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

Since I doubt you will read any of that, here is the definition again,

"A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. Such fact-supported theories are not "guesses" but reliable accounts of the real world."

A body of FACTS that have been REPEATEDLY CONFIRMED and not 'guesses'.

But because you do not bother to LOOK AT ANY OF THESE repeatable and repeated experiments that have proven this theory, you just claim they don't exist! Plausible deniability. If you do not LOOK for the experiments, you will not find them, and then you can claim they don't exist. Right?

That's a great method to confirm a bias and form a faith based belief. But it is NOT, in any way, science. What YOU have is actually a failed hypothesis, while gravity is a proven fact, ie: a scientific theory.

The only time any scientist ever says "gravity is just a theory, it's not proven" is sarcastically, as a response to creationists saying evolution is "just a theory".

Also, explaining why you're wrong in a way that doesn't hit your moving goalposts isn't abuse and doesn't make someone a "biget".

well it is just a theory, an untestable unproven theory actualy

Sure, except that "just", "untestable" and "unproven" are not words any real scientist would ever unironically attach to the word "theory". If you can't even be taught to correctly use the basic vocabulary of science, why should you expect anyone to respect your opinions on scientific topics?
