Of course, but although folk might disagree with me, no one could genuinely believe I'm 'thick as sh*t'. (How else could I post so eloquently? ) Dawkins (for example) has just about everything wrong, but he's not 'thick as sh*t'. His ability to understand isn't the problem. (It's his heart and his ego.)

To be fair, not even considering that scientists might be able to find out stuff that happened 2 billion years ago and calling them 'eggheads' isn't doing your 'Im not as thick as shit' cause much good.

I've thought it through clearly, and it would definitely be impossible for any human today to prove one single thing from 2 billion years ago. For starters, they'd be working outside of science, leaving them with only 'scientism' and theories hypotheses (lets be honest... ) guesses that the 'thick as sh*'t' swallow as 'popular' fact.

in5omniac Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 You do seem very quick to 'debunk' or provide links to prove scientists or 'eggheads' wrong. How can you be so sure that you, and the sources you provide are correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy that did the work on Mt St Helens was a creationist and made an arse of it. http://www.tim-thompson.com/plaisted-review.html That's hard work. Easier to say a big god did it and ran away. Although there is a bush in the Mojave desert that is over 11,000 years old (by two dating methods). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that, the 'egghead' (assumed) numbers are used to test the 'egghead' guesses, and they don't add up. Example... Scientism (through NASA and the military) tells us that the spinning ball earth has a circumference of approx. 24, 800 miles, yet there are hundreds of examples of us being able to see things (like skylines) that should be thousands of feet below the (imaginary) curve that simply aren't.

Do you have some independent verification of your intelligence, a special certificate or badge or something, or are you just going by your 'feeling' criteria.

Couple of things. The video is clearly taken from above sea level. I'll say the observer is at 25feet. That gives us a horizon for the sea at 6 miles using the formula here... https://sites.math.washington.edu/~conroy/m120-general/horizon.pdf The buildings we're told are a further 22 miles away. So using the same calculation in reverse, the height you'd need to be at to see that far would be 336 feet. (Use the 1st diagram in above link to give you observer to sea, then flip the triangle for sea to buildings.) Therefore anything above 336 feet may be visible to the guy with the camera on the video. There are 12 buildings on this list over 400 feet, including a few over 500... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_buildings_in_New_Orleans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exile Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 You'd think the Lake Ponchartrain bridge/causeway would be a good vantage point for Flat Earth experiments.
