I don't debate
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!
