Not reading through a million pages.

Some simple points that really should be enough to debunk this for good, for all but the most inculcated obsessives.

The idea that the images of the earth have been doctored to demonstrate its ovoid shape would entail precise, global (hehe) planning by governments that have long been at odds. Both the Soviets and Americans sent satellites and men into Earth's atmosphere. Confirming that the Earth is 'flat' would be a cultural and scientific coup that neither side would readily surrender. Not to mention the men and women from other countries that have since visited and the satellites that other nations launch. Too many people, too much prestige to be gained from exposing the conspiracy. Human nature disagrees with your assertion.

It's really not even worth getting into the nitty-gritty of cosmogenesis, planetary formation, gravity (call it what you will, there is a force that acts proportional to mass - this is mathematically quantifiable and has been for centuries), magnetic field, etc.

I appreciate a good conspiracy. But come on. At least point to one that has real knowledge gaps. Granted you might be one who denies the scientific method as a valuable tool. Your comments on the first page indicate a 'mystical' understanding of existence, so logic experiments may be for naught.


Edit: did see a post saying that because it's called the "Theory of Gravity" it's suspect. That pretty much solves the 'doesn't believe in the scientific method' question. Lucky for you, you get to benefit from scientific advances literally every waking moment.
