William Guzman - Flat Earth - My Story of How I became an Authentic Flat Earther (Very Convincent)
Dear William Guzman,
Fact check = You FAIL
So in order to preserve your distorted world view, all you can do now is DENY all proof (satellites, globe Earth photos, planetary data, etc.).
That is what Samuel Shenton unsuccessfully did.
Yours is an attempt to preserve a specific religious view, rather than use logic and reason to discover how the universe really functions.
You are on the wrong side of history
Facts:
(from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Shenton)
Samuel Shenton (March 1903 – 2 March 1971) was the founder in 1956 of the International Flat Earth Research Society (IFERS), based in Dover, England.
Shenton soon constructed a cosmology, based partly on his interpretation of Genesis, that the earth was a flat disk centred on the North Pole with the zetetic notion of the South Pole being an impenetrable wall of ice, that marked the edge of the pit that is the earth in the endless flat plane forming the universe.
In 1966 he produced a pamphlet, The Plane Truth, which included a circular informing members "that modern astronomy and space flight were insults to God and divine punishment for humankind's arrogance was a mere matter of time".
But the Lunar Orbiter program led to a sharp decline in membership. "Visual images, whether they were globes, photographs or television pictures, were clearly critical to how people perceived the earth's shape .. and pre-school children could know that it was round even if they had no grasp of the words 'mathematics', 'geography', 'astronomy' and 'science'".
Your challenge:
Show us an authentic picture of the flat Earth edge, if you want to be believed.
The Merriam- Webster dictionary defines proof as “the cogency of evidence that compels acceptance by the mind of a truth or a fact” and Oxford dictionary defines it as “evidence or argument establishing a fact or the truth of a statement.” As these definitions indicate, proof is more concrete than evidence.
Evidence is something which shows that something else exists or is true.
Proof is the evidence or argument establishing a fact or the truth of a statement.
Evidence suggests something.
Proof is more concrete.
Evidence refers to pieces of information and facts.
Proof is the logical conclusion we arrive after analyzing the evidence.
MY PICTURE EVIDENCE listed below PROVES that you are wrong:
- close up Chicago skyline
- Chicago from 33 miles away, clearly showing the bottoms of buildings missing (below the horizon so not visible) because of the Earth's curvature.
