If it has NO evidence to back it up, yet someone believes it, it is their OPINION that it is true. It is neither theory nor fact.
It could be called a theory based on the evidence that it looks flat, therefore I think it's flat.
The point is, from that theory people can form the belief that it is flat (without actual evidence to prove so).

ok lets look at this
The world is Flat
Which Definition fits better?
Opinion : A thought or Judgement which Cannot be Verified.
Theory : An Assumption made with Limited Knowledge.
Verify: To determine or test the truth or accuracy of, as by comparison, investigation, or reference.
They Verified the world is round...so therefore they verified the truth, or accuracy of the statement "the world is Flat" nope doesn match the definition of opinion
Assumption : Something taken for granted or accepted as true without proof.
Did they have proof the world was Flat? Nope. Was it accepted ? YES by most back then. DOes this match the definition of Theory? Yes it does actually.

That's not really evidence, though
Though of course then they also thought the sun revolved around the Earth.
But for someone to argue that since this was believed hundreds of years ago, it's fact? Utterly ridiculous. We don't live in the dark ages anymore.

It's enough evidence on which to base an erroneous theory...
The theory of geocentricity was based more upon vanity than any real observation.

True.....
But you could say that watching the sun rise in the east, arc through the sky, and set in the west could be 'observing' it revolve around the Earth.

What was that?
Here's a theory for you. Imagine this debate is metaphorically placed inside the universe, in correct proportions away from your misunderstanding of it.
If the debate was...in Oxford Street. The top end, down near Selfridges. Yes, let's theorize that the debate is placed inside Selfridges, near the cosmetics counter (the front one).
In relation, your understanding of the debate would be just beyond the planet Saturn.

Yeah.
Let's use that as a theory leading to an opinion as well then.

New levels of stupidity. "Go ask a professor", "you are a professor i guess, dont make u right."
Your continual denying of it, your constant non-acceptance of being shredded not withstanding, you did get proven wrong. That's a fact.

Yep, just looked. Pretty much backs up everything we've said.
You're wrong, you've lost. Leave. Send in JKS Hammer.

Why do you have to be a dick about it? I dont see you having any proof that it backs you, nor do i think you actually have a OED . Anyway Im not wrong, whatever just drop it cuz i find on forums no one ever admits to being wrong. /shrug so we will both argue forever.
Anyway back to actual music Discussion...anyone else find it Atrocious that the Rolling Stones are #67!!!!!!!!!!!!
I mean The New York Dolls and Joan Jett are ahead of them! Stones should be Top 15 at LEAST, on my list anyway.

The thing is, you are the wrong one and three or more people have proven you wrong. You're not admitting it because you don't like it.
