What was the science you're talking about? Still hasn't been explained.
It certainly wasn't natural selection. Hitler never once mentioned it.

Which science? What evidence? If that is true, why refuse to show us just as if you are lying?
My only evidence follows all rules of science, submitted as facts which anyone can test.

What makes the declaration more than a little problematic is that both the flat earth and the moon landing denial are based on science--- actual science with actual evidence.
So I am not surprised that you deny pseudo science being pseudo science.
This is what the future will say about our times - some people of the past believed that our planet was flat, they believed that positions of the stars could tell the future, they thought that they never went to the moon, despite the fact that all of these fields was proven wrong by real science.

So where are your observations and measurements that show Earth to be flat and not round? Present them please...

What evidence? You haven't presented any. Thus that word "only" inserted there is an understatement.
And evidence doesn't "follow rules" other than the trivial 'rules' that it must adhere to the valid definition of 'evidence', nothing more.
Evidence is defined as whatever can be presented that logically entails the assertion/theory to be true/probable.
So you are talking gibberish here.
submitted as facts which anyone can test.
"facts" are what is proven by the evidence. You haven't presented any evidence because there is no evidence that the Earth is flat thus it isn't a "fact" that the Earth is flat. You haven't "submitted" anything "as facts" other than you personal opinion, nothing more. Mere personal opinion isn't the "facts".
In addition; the 'flat-Earth theory' has already implicitly and inadvertently been tested and proven false and in many different ways. For example, we have satellites orbiting the Earth taking pictures and films and the resulting film footage clearly shows the Earth is round, not flat.

Well, of course not.
Everyone who walks the planet--- for the most part--- thinks they're on the side of truth.
Very few, indeed, possess the temerity to question themselves.
You don't strike me as one of the few.
So I am not surprised that you deny pseudo science being pseudo science.
You have a penchant for repeating fallacy despite receiving correction otherwise.
Perhaps you should simply argue with yourself and cut out the pesky middle man.

Here's one prediction which is consistently correct: our ability to predict the future has been full of crap, therefore our current ability to predict the future is equally suspect and we ought to be suspicious of anyone claiming to know what the future will think of those in the past.

Give us the strongest evidence that the Earth is flat.
I challenge you!

Why hold back? Why not vindicate yourself by show that you are right and we are all wrong just by showing it? What's the holdup? Your fingers physically can't type the right sequence of words, or what?
We think it is because it doesn't exist; prove us wrong!

Social Darwinism is the scientific application of the time.

Originally posted by @freakykbh-evidence of flat Earth? Really? Assuming you are still talking about flat Earth and you haven't changed the topic (have you changed the topic? ) ; OK then, point to us just any ONE example of these "thousands of posts full of evidence" of flat Earth that we somehow all missed ... if there are thousands of them as you claim, you shouldn't have any difficulty finding just ONE of them to show us! Failure to do so would confirm what we all already know.
Your lack of effort doesn't erase thousands of posts full of evidence,
