(March 14, 2015 at 4:53 pm)Irrational Wrote: And nobody in their right mind ever thought the Earth was a vertically-placed coin with us along its circumference. It was too obvious even to the naked ancient eye that it wasn't.

And this is glaringly obvious to everybody here except the OP who seems on the other hand utterly and stubbornly oblivious.
I'm much more interested in the underlying pressures and processes that form these two opposed positions rather than what I consider to have been settled fact for roughly 2300 years. What color is the sky in AtlasS2's universe?
It's like watching some sort of exotic bug. Colorful and pretty, but I don't really want to touch it or find it in my house.

So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat? Huh
