@DeWayfarer You couldn’t be a biologist and a geologist without accepting evolution. My adage is: If it’s not science, it’s superstition. Gray areas don’t exist.
@SW-User But it's a debunked model. You literally just have to fly high enough to see the curvature in the earth. For the right amount of money, you could be a passenger on a commercial space flight, and see for yourself that it's a bad model.
@SW-User if the earth is flat, how does weather work on a disc?

@Lovesungoddess sorry you are missing entirely my point.
We think in a Newtonian Universe, which we now know to be wrong and should adopt a model involving the Quantum Theory and the General Theory of Relativity.
I’ve complained about both evolution and constellations (being tied to the astrology section instead of astronomy) . Both are real sciences backed with strong evidence.
@LordShadowfire No you are missing my point completely. Physicists use different models to help understand a situation or phenomena. For example an atom. Sometimes, you can use the particle in the box model. rather than the Bohr model. And at times a wave of probability model.
@SW-User I'm saying the model doesn't fit. All you have to do in order to see that it doesn't fit is to fly high enough to reach low orbit. Why do you keep insisting that it fits?

@LordShadowfire I don’t think we are going to agree in this. But I agree this topic should be in the science section.
This an American site, and a lot of Americans are determined to give evolution (science generally?) a pseudo-religious taint in order to try to crush it. So is the management trying not to offend the scriptural literalists?
Could be. I have heard religious folks try to characterize evolution as a religion in order to delegitimize it....which is funny lol. Imagine trying to delegitimize something by placing it on the same level as the position you advocate for.
@LordShadowfire I looked up the flat earth group to see if they put it under science and technology, which would have cause unfathomable rage in me. But it’s in the nature category.
