Flat earth nonsense is not worthy of any response other than ridicule.
ridicule is not evidence and should not be taken seriously by any thinking person.
I say, debate ideas on their merit. For years we were told that Russia was our enemy by the MSM. Then we learn Russia helped expose Hillary Rotten Clinton and defeated ISIS in Syria. Yet if you say so you are still ridiculed by some people.
I have learned a wise person look at the merit of ideas and remain critical of self-proclaimed "experts" full of ridicule and bombast.

I am still keeping an objective perspective on this exchange, but I do wish to say one side provide arguments, and the other side responds with ridicule and an appeal to authority; regardless of who is right, one side is clearly being more "scientific".

Lots of things are 'doctored' before being released to the 'masses'. It's known as targeting the audience and applies to everything we do, not just science.
yah, but suggest this is what they are doing to the so-called "climate science" and watch peoples heads explode...
This is why I don't trust "experts" anymore.

The question about how the earth can keep a hold on air is a good one. Quite frankly, we can all post various answers, but it will all be mumbo-jumbo us mortals have to take on faith. I think it is reasonable to question such explanations.

I won't take sides on this one; I think the discussion is interesting in itself.
