Paul TheSkeptic If you can actually see it, how are there still people who deny the whole space exploration thing?
Andrew Johnson 3 weeks agoIn my experience so far, it's less a case of evidence than of mindset,
most seem to have the idea that education, science and research are all forms of brainwashing.Paul TheSkeptic2 weeks agoA shame.
Subject 8 2 weeks agoYou can show them all the evidence you want. Most of the flattards are religous zealots, so they are obviously in the possession of the ultimate truth. That is the Origo that reality has to bend around. That literally means that you could strap them to a rocket so they can personally pay a visit to the ISS, and when they come back they would still deny it is in orbit. You have just drugged them, or used some kind of sophisticated technology to fool them! Even if that said technology would be harder to achieve than placing a space station in orbit. You see, you CANNOT have a space station in orbit, so reality has to bend.
It is very entertaining to observe these patterns, until you realize these people can vote.
Andrew Johnson 2 weeks agoIt's my experience that only a few of them are religious zealots and the few of those that quote scripture to justify their claims go totally postal when you point out how they have taken a particular passage out of context on misquoted it. The majority of the remainder are bored trolls with nothing better to do but go around making offensive remarks under the illusion of their anonymity. But there is a hard core of people exhibiting what I can only describe as an extreme form of paranoia where the use of the term 'critical thinking' has been taken to the n
th degree and they question even the most fundamental precepts of reality and claim, against all the evidence against them, that only they are the keepers of truth in the world; some are amusing, most are very sad to read.
R. McHunt 2 weeks ago (edited)Science deniers are just religious fundamentalists who take the Bible literally and put faith before facts. King James took seven years (1604-1611) to extensively overhauled the Bible to fit in with his own personal beliefs and the church had to go along with him, they didn't have a choice and so the Bible was changed. The KJB or KJV is the ONLY bible to mention the word "firmament" it wasn't in any other Bible .......believe it if you want to but the firmament is only the belief of an English King. Christians are therefore believing what they think is the "word of God" when really what they are really believing are the words of King James. THE CLUE IS IN THE NAME ..........."THE KING JAMES BIBLE" / VERSION.
Andrew Johnson 2 weeks agoI will repeat what I said earlier, SOME science deniers and flat earthers are keen to quote scripture to justify their beliefs, but the majority come across as just paranoid nuts. It's rather curious that two people that I collaborate with the most are ministers of religion (one Anglican Vicar and a Baptist Minister). They both take the view that the Bible (pick a version) is God's second book and written in the language of men, his first book is the book of nature (creation) and this is written in the language of God (science and mathematics).
Andrew Johnson 2 weeks agoThe religious texts use simple language and avoid science deliberately. But the main point my minister friends also make, the one that the fundamentalists ignore at best or refute violently, is that said religious books are not the be all and end all of all knowledge and wisdom as the fundamentalists would like to force us all to believe.
The greater work of God, according to my minister friends, is the universe around us, and this can only be understood with the language of science and mathematics, this really pisses the fundamentalists off, but is something I continue to use as it's source is a couple of well-respected theologians. My other argument is to ask the fundamentalists which chapter and verse of the bible tells you how to build a computer or use the internet, I usually get blocked at this point!
CAP10 Zeus As a photographer myself, I really enjoyed your video, time, money and effort to do all of this. All of this made perfect sense to me since I myself am educated in photography. My jaw has dropped and
I just can't believe all of the craziest comments you have received for all your hard work and your willingness to share with the rest of us. Without reading the comments at first I saw this as a photography lesson, not a "prove the earth was round theory"! It's amazing what some people will believe without seeing it or trying it for themselves OR they are just being internet TROLLS just for their amusement. Either way, I would just ignore these trolls which have really spat at hundreds of years of human advancement and rather believe in myths that date back hundreds of years. Thanks for the photography lesson! Keep them coming!
Andrew Johnson 3 weeks agoMany thanks for the comments they are much appreciated. It was a bit of a surprise to me the first time I got one of these trolls commenting about being a proof of something. If I want to debunk this flat earth nonsense I can do it from my local beach with a telephoto lens and a wind farm but that's not what this video or this channel is about.
