As ridiculous as FE seems, prima facie, until it's proven false,

Hey, I voted to let them post. But it concerns me a lot more that people like you don't think it has been proven false. If the earth was flat you would see the sun all the time. End of story. You can replicate that with a camera, a big circle on the floor and a light bulb. Try it in a dark basketball court. Case closed.

(And if you say the sun is a spotlight then you need to make it light a semicircle and get the correct sunrise headings for all positions in the circle. Again... impossible. )
