@Bulxy88, To me earth is round by normal observation, some ancient people made such observation too. Staying in cities and not traveling in the wild gives the impression that earth is flat.
Bulxy88 Welcome to the forum! You should make an introduction post and then create posts (Without links for your first 30 days or 30 posts) to hash out the questions that cause your brain to itch.
Bulxy88, I know by studying some basic science. It's not rocket science to understand that the earth has to be round given observations that can be made here on earth and some relatively easy math. But even if it was rocket science, I can confidently trust what a clear scientific consensus says on the matter (when there is one). Then we have the photos and clips as well. I'd have to adhere to much less plausible explanations to believe the earth is nevertheless flat. Basically, in other words, be a good Bayesian every chance you get. If/when you falter, you end up adhering to very bizarre explanations.
Well,using differential equations. But again it's a question itself, using scientific method is a question itself, why do we use science, what we're gonna demonstrate by calling it round or flat? So what in the end? and many more...
I srsly don't care about the religion thingy, "religion grew up with me" it wasn't there before me. Btw, really good idea! Like! (Something like turn off the radio lol)(P.S: I mean "in the beginning man created the god")
You don't have to go to space to see Earth is round and Quran is wrong. Just get on a ship and sail toward open sea and watch how ground disappears and then mountains.
Not even close lol. I mean how do we make sure if something that we hear is a "truth",claim it to be truth? I mean I've never seen the earth from outside of it. Why (considering the way our brain is under control by the "Bosses"(governors)(education,social media etc affection) we should say that earth is not flat or even why it is? I mean why I should believe whatever I hear? (Although I may feel it or even demonstrate it to myself by a few equations, but I can't really see that since I'm not out of the earth) But I apologize, this may be not a good place to ask that, since it is closely related to philosophy and paradoxes. That would be better If I ask them in the philosophy section.
We don't actually know if it is the sun! or it is the earth revolving. Question is : Have you REALLY seen it with your own eyes? How can you say it is correct? Are you sure you're not being deceived?
