How can they have merit when they're scientifically proven wrong?
Does he at least believe in magnets?

Miracles are also a conspiracy.Magic isn't real silly.
Maybe miracles though
When you address the idiocy, you get called an elitist.What the fuck is happening to humanity. This idiocy has to stop... Really
That's a gigantic red flag right there, born again religious types tend to go off into the deep end super hard.Apparently from the last time we've seen each other (2 yrs now) he's found religion, or at least some form of it.
That's weird that you can ascertain the nature of the relationship with my friend so much that you can tell he's joking and I can't.My god you guys are easy to hook.
Op, someone can carry on a joke for more than a day you know...
How do you not believe in gravity lol
What is his opposite explanation?
What merits does a fake theory have?
A literal flat earth Jesus cult church sprung up in my hometown and a ton of my (stupider) ex classmates are totally convinced. It's creepy shit.
Whats goin on with the world? Like, why is this a thing? Does he believe in sea monsters at the outskirts of the earth?
The sun is about to come up in a couple of hours in Europe. How about stateside? No? So there you go!
The sun and moon are both lamps, doncha know?
Usually stuff like this is just the tip of the iceberg, once you start believing one conspiracy theory you just start going down that rabbit hole and never look back.Y'all some judgemental dudes if something as silly as that is disown worthy.
So what the dude is a little strange and maybe more than a little dumb, there are much worse sins in the world than being a little bit of a dumbass. But hey, it's your life man you do you.
In this universe, there are only two objects: you and a huge planet-sized ball. There is no gravity in this hypothetical reality in the classic sense of objects being attracted to each other. There is only one rule: Every piece of matter in this universe is constantly expanding, doubling in size every second. You wouldn't notice the doubling, because both you and the huge ball would remain in the same proportion to each other. There would be no other reference points. And you wouldn't feel your own matter doubling any more than you feel the activity of the atoms in your body now.
In your current universe, you don't feel your skin cells dying, and you don't feel yourself being propelled at high velocity around the Sun or spinning with the Earth's rotation. So it shouldn't be hard to imagine how you could be doubling in size every second without being aware of it in the hypothetical universe. The only effect you would feel from this doubling in size is the illusion of gravity. The ball's growth would cause a constant pushing against you. If you tried to "jump" away from the growing ball, you would create some space temporarily, but the ball's growth would catch up with you and close The distance quickly To you, it would feel as though you were attracted to the huge ball and whenever you jumped "up," you would be sucked back down to it.
There would be no gravity, but it would look and feel exactly like gravity. Visually, it would seem that the huge ball had more "gravitational pull" than you do, because you seem to be attracted to it and not the other way around. This corresponds to our classic view of gravitythat huge objects have more of it.
Imagine a marble and a bowling ball. Now imagine they both instantly double in size. The marble still looks pretty much like a marble, but the bowling ball appears huge. When a large object doubles in size, it seems to have a disproportionately significant impact compared to a smaller object. So if gravity is an optical illusion, large objects would appear to create more of the illusion than smaller objects. That's consistent with what we see.
Now let's move from the hypothetical universe to our current universe filled with planets and other matter. You'd have to add another rule in order for the expanding matter theory to replace gravity in the current universe. You'd have to have a universe where all the major planets are moving away from each other quickly, otherwise they'd grow until they all bumped together. In fact, the current universe does appear to be expanding, so that's no obstacle to the expanding matter theory. I can't think of anything in the "real" universe that would contradict the notion of gravity being an illusion caused by expanding matter.
Jesus!Miracles are also a conspiracy.
I legit could not be friends with someone like that. Best of luck to you OP.
Spotlights. The party line is that they're spotlights.

I get there's room for disagreements on stuff, but the shape of the Earth? Gravity?
Humans are so weird because people I know who are super successful and smart in so many things also have the strangest beliefs including flat earth, feng shui, Jewish conspiracy, various superstitious animisms etc.If you think the earth is flat you're an idiot.
There's just no way around it.
Sometimes I know how Bill Nye feels.
I really want to see these photographs of the edge of the world. Should be easy enough with weather balloons.
People are strange
Is it any dumber than half the country believing in a magic man in the clouds creating the universe in 7 days?
It's weird, right? Like my day was seriously ruined by this conversation. And I suspect the next few days I'll be thinking about it just as much.Happened to me as well. Known this person a lot longer. I don't know why it hurts so much.

hollow earth theory is far more credible, although flat earth does have its own merits
try to keep an open mind
