Flat Earth Theory / Re: Creation
« on: October 09, 2020, 03:04:32 PM »
Hello again Pete. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Can I just pick you up on a couple of things from your last reply.
I agree with your sentiment here, but not your reasoning. The analogy doesn't care whether the Earth was created by design (which I don't believe) or by natural processes. It was however created by something. You have to admit that. Understanding that process will undoubtedly give you more information on which to strengthen your understanding of your other theories.
Pshaw! When I asked the question, I had no idea it was unanswerable. As I said at the beginning I have no agenda other than to understand the thinking behind any theories that describe the creation of the flat Earth system by natural processes. If you're telling me there aren't any, then that's my answer.
It's not my difficult question, it's a/the most important* difficult question. (* delete as applicable)
I am special. My parents even sent me to a special school
Seriously, I do appreciate your engagement in this thread, but I don't want to risk the ire of the group by pushing it any further. I think I understand now where at least some of this group is on the subject and I shall leave slightly disappointed, but also slightly better informed.
Thanks.

I reject this analogy. It presumes that the Earth, much like a car, was purpose-made and designed by an intelligent being. This presumption is unfounded, and unverifiable.

And asking us to answer the unanswerable seems like you're trying to spin a narrartive

Your expectation that we'll prioritise your difficult question

suggests that you either view the question as special, or you view yourself as special.
