Do you admire their tenacity?</spoiler>

[spoiler]>FAQ
Q: "What about satellites? How do they orbit the Earth?"

A: Since sustained spaceflight is not possible, satellites cannot orbit the Earth. The signals we supposedly receive from them are either broadcast from towers or any number of possible pseudolites. However, temporary space-flight is possible.

Oh dear.</spoiler>

I s'pose I could. But then again, you would be able to make the same argument to admire a schizophrenics insistence that the ants crawling on his face are real, and even then he still has more a credible argument than the FES.</spoiler>

[spoiler]Q: "What about Lunar Eclipses?"

A: A celestial body, known as the antimoon, passes between the sun and moon. This projects a shadow upon the moon.

[spoiler]Reason why earth is flat
« on: November 13, 2011, 06:39:55 PM »
I just realized why the earth is flat when all other celestial bodies are spherical. Could it be possible that only flat planets could support life.</spoiler>

[spoiler]>I don't wish to refer to the mechanics, but rather an inconsistency that arises within FET. According to Continental Drift Theory, all modern continents spawned from a single one called Pangea. My question is simple. Assuming a Flat Earth, how would the continents have developed differently in a Round Earth Environment? And as an aside, How did Antarctica become a wall of Ice in a Flat Earth Setting?

[spoiler]I'm fucking memorizing this FAQ. Just about any argument you make against them, they have an answer for, until all you have is:
>This is just absurd, we just know its round. Why are you fighting so hard to prove it's flat?

And their obvious and irrefutable comeback is:
>You're all trying so much harder to prove that it's round. Just look down. It's flat.</spoiler>

[spoiler]Q: "How did NASA create these images with the computer technology available at the time?"

A: NASA did not send rockets into space; instead, they spent a fraction of their funding on developing increasingly advanced computers and imaging software to cover their lies.

PLEASE NOTE: This means that pictures confirming the roundness or flatness of the Earth DO NOT CONSTITUTE VALID PROOF.

Yeah, don't know what it is about geology/astronomy that attracts these kinds of people.</spoiler>

[spoiler]>celestial bodies emit harmful radiation and other effects which can seriously mess you up. The Sun emits hot light, the Moon emits cold light, and the Antimoon emits light beyond the visible spectrum. All of them are transmission vectors for dangerous malaises, and though the Moon is the most immediately dangerous, I wouldn't risk staring too long at the Antimoon either.</spoiler>
