The caller was a geocentrist, and further believed that the earth was stationary (does not rotate on an axis). The hosts quickly pointed out, the observations made, which easily disprove this including the observation from space of the earths rotation, and the fact that satellites in a synchronous orbit need to have their time calibrated for the difference in speed because of their greater orbit.
The caller immediately dismissed this; similarly to what I see here, as anecdotes, and having to believe what others tell you. Now to me, he is denying the evidence, based on what their a priori knowledge states (I would say that this man, couldn't be reasoned with). Do you think that he was correct in his method?
The data is there to be checked out, the mathematical proofs and experiments are freely available.
I find this mans rejection of facts presented more like the theist mind set, in that the facts do not match their beliefs so they reject the facts.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
