>Filming through bent glass
read the description, brainlet. he links to videos shot through the same window showing no distortion from the window except at the very bottom.

>The lower you are, the closer your horizon line becomes. If anyone moves pass this horizon line that meets at your eye level, they will begin to be obstructed by it.
maybe you missed the part where I said
>at no point will any part of them disappear behind an object that isn't physically between you and them
>behind an object that ISN'T physically between you and them
given this law of perspective, and the fact that things DO disappear behind the horizon, the only possible conclusion is that the Earth is between you and things that go behind the horizon, thus proving that the Earth has curvature.
congratulations, you played yourself.

>It damn well is an argument
no, you pecan, saying "Newton was wrong" is an ASSERTION, not an argument.

>I said it COULD be one for all we know
and you were wrong; the transit of the ISS across the sun proves it CANNOT be a hologram
>some faggy little thing flying in the sky doesn't prove anything
nice backpedaling

>You assume they are shadows, you assume they are craters.
you can literally see them with your own eyes, retard.
and you can observe the same crater over the course of a month and find that the shadows always point away from the sun from the feature casting them.

>What is your point?
that your claim that the sun casts light only in a cylinder rather than omnidirectionally is false. EVEN IF the sun were close to the earth, it would still radiate in all directions. that's how light sources work.

>"Gravity" is just a catch-all word that describes the behaviour of objects
so you admit gravity exists, you just don't like to call it that. uh huh.
>it doesn't actually exist as a physical substance, therefore is not scientific
this is just gibberish. electricity doesn't exist as a physical substance either. neither does velocity, light, or heat.

>Volcanos and the ocean produce more greenhouse gases than we do
I know >>8700929 and >>8700942 already debunked your tired old claims pretty well, but let me just reiterate how small the contribution from volcanism is.
human activity produces more than a hundred times as much CO2 as outgassing from volcanic activity. a few threads ago, some ignorant denier claimed that a supervolcano eruption would dwarf human CO2 contribution. so I ran the numbers for max estimates of CO2 mass fraction in magma, and total volume of ejecta, and it turns out that even if a supervolcano were to blow up in a massive eruption, the total CO2 released would only be about 1/3rd as much as humans produce in a year.

>deleterious recessive trait persists due to heterozygote advantage
>heterozygote advantage goes away due to change in environment
>50,000 years later, or ~2500 generations, deleterious trait is gone
can't explain that

>Uneducated people are naive and dogmatic ideologues.
>And they fail to realize not everyone is like them.
>They've also lived their life in a rural small-town bubble so they lack any experience that would show them otherwise.
oops

>What was the formulas written by Klaatu and the Professor about?
Nothing meaningful.
>why does the professor look like he's astonished or aghast as if he was enlightened or something?
Reference to intelligence.

How is thinking different than introversion, how is thinking different than judgment, how does intuition oppose to sensing?

Get fucked, retard. I am a math teacher, if anyone is an idiot, it is your mom.

Because he hates "religion" more than he loves Science and Mathematics. Pretty obvious answer, this is bait.
