not a problem; i don’t debate at all! debate is base pageantry for idiots.
i only seek rational discourse and the collaborative pursuit of truth.
You have no evidence that would compel me to believe the earth is flat
i don’t want you to believe in the shape of the earth at all, regardless of what shape it is. if you believe the earth is round, flat, or any other shape - you have faith not fact.
as for compelling evidence, there is plenty of that. why do you so wish there wasn’t?
the voluminous amount of evidence to the contrary
like what? i have been at this a long time. i have evaluated the “voluminous amount of evidence” and found it to not support the premise when scrutinized rationally/critically.
why don’t you start small/simple - what is the best / most compelling (to you!) evidence that supports your view that the world is spherical?
So what's the point?
this is the right question! there are many, but a couple good ones for starters are
the pursuit of truth
excising belief where it doesn’t belong and replacing it with knowledge
Debating ... [anyone is] ... 100% waste of time
because debate is a silly game for stupid people. intelligent people prefer rational discourse and the pursuit of truth - not impressing/manipulating judges and the audience for “points”. in any case, i’m not a flat earther - so you don’t have to worry about that!
The thread you wish to debate is if man has the intelligence to invent rockets that can propel people into low earth orbit
i sincerely have no wish to debate anything, ever. i only seek discussion and the earnest and collaborative pursuit of truth. if i am wrong, i should like to know it and how to demonstrate it; how about yourself?
i do not doubt that man has the intelligence to invent rockets (thousands of years old). i doubt the existence of orbit, writ large, and hence no rocket - no matter how sophisticated or intelligent the inventor - can ever achieve it. it is not coincidence that orbit began, historically, as contrived fiction and today can ONLY be seen on television.
If you do not have such faith, then you are of low intelligence
it's quite the opposite! those of low intelligence and knowledge are the most likely to rely on superstition/belief/faith/mythology/religion. they do this precisely because they lack the knowledge and/or ability to understand (“low intelligence” as you put it). only a fool believes what they ought to know! faith/belief is the enemy of all knowledge and objective study of any kind (it’s called bias).

If you do not have such faith, then you are of low intelligence and, therefore, a waste of time. Refer to my last post as to why.
Hes not debating you.
