A question to all FETers out there: what would it take for you to believe in a round earth? What kind of evidence, argument, visual, etc. Would it take for you to revoke your FET views and become RETers?
REer here. That question is rather similar to asking the Pope what it would take to convince him to convert to say, Mormonism. I have observed that the FEers tend to hold their belief, no matter how illogical, with all the fervency of a religious crusade. I mean, a perfect example is their absolute insistence that Samuel B. Rowbotham held a Ph.D. when in fact, the UK did not grant those until 1917, and he never went to Imperial Germany or its predecessor States or the United States (the only countries to my knowledge that did) in order to get said degree. In other words, his claim to the Ph.D. was made up. In fact, so was his M.D., although that was more customary to claim after having practiced on the job for a few years, even without the formal education, so that was a bit more socially acceptable.
My point is that FEers, in my experience, seem to take what they want from reality and bend it until it basically fits what they want it to fit. It doesn't make much sense to me, but hey, there you are.
