#14, thank you for admitting that nothing rational provoked you to make a claim. Having a concrete example to work with, and having that example be non-absurd to begin with, then the claim can then be evaluated by other means ... such as streams of evidence from Mars probes.
Yeah, how fucking failsome is THAT, assface?
As for your (I assume you meant) example of the "sun revolved around the Earth" prior claim, again you fail it. Common evidence did indicate that that was true ... but relatively soon, cracks appeared in that evidence, and there were centuries of resistance to THAT follow-on evidence. Again, it was a cultural gayfaggotry that kept the claim alive ... just like the claims of a giant alien space monster persist in our society due to the same mental gayfaggotry.
There is a huge pack of steaming fail here, and it's in YOUR majority view of your society as being fucking infallible and eternal in most of its assumptions and standards. THAT is what set off this thread in the first place. The OP fag was trying to enforce the unfortunately widely-held view that the burden of proof belongs on those who have to dispute claims, no matter how absurd those claims are. But that's not how the BoP operates on a purely logical level. Claims require evidence. PERIOD. Either put up the evidence to support your claim, or retract your claim as the stupid gayfaggotry that it really is, or suffer the shame of being marked as a baseless-claim gayfaggot. There is no fourth option, you gayfailer!
