The resurgence of the flat earth theories is really interest
These people are extremely paranoid as well

Really is scary how many crazy people are out there. I guess they've always been there but we just have access to them like never before now.

That video pissed me off. I punched my monitor. You owe me a new monitor.

Show me a non CGI photograph of the “globe” Earth.
You rounders are all the same. Wake up sheep.

I wish they had some non-atheist scientists on the panel because I suspect the vast majority of religious (both scientists and non-scientists), across all global religions, would also think the flat earthers are retarded.
It’s pitiful they view themselves as modern-day Galileo’s and truth martyrs when in reality, they are supreme morons.

Did these “scientist” then try to convince them that climate change is real.

anybody with common sense knows the earth is flat.

A dude proved (and measured the circumference) the Earth was round 2,200+ years ago with fuggin sticks and shadows...how is this even a debate?

Eratosthenes calculated the Earth's circumference without leaving Alexandria.[11] He knew that at local noon on the summer solstice in Syene (modern Aswan, Egypt), the Sun was directly overhead. [12] He then measured the Sun's angle of elevation at noon in Alexandria by using a vertical rod, known as a gnomon, and measuring the length of its shadow on the ground[13]. Using the length of the rod, and the length of the shadow, as the legs of a triangle, he calculated the angle of the Sun's rays.[14] This turned out to be about 7°, or 1/50th the circumference of a circle. Taking the Earth as spherical, and knowing both the distance and direction of Syene, he concluded that the Earth's circumference was fifty times that distance.

I just do not understand how people think the earth is flat.
You can quite literally sail around it. Pilots have flown around it. SR-71 blackbird pilots and U-2 pilots have talked about flying around the earth.
It really bothers me that there are adults out there that think the earth is flat

I guess the flat earthers have never flown commercial and noticed the curvature of the earth.

Flat Eath theory has been an inside joke among geodesists and civil / survey engineers for many years.
But I'm amazed when someone actually believes this, always someone outside a science or engineering field who disbelieves the mathematical proof.
How would a flat earther assess credentials for a surgeon needed for a life saving procedure? What if the surgeon didn't believe in flat earth?
Do flat earthers have a selective belief in science when they really need it most?
Of course they do.

All I know is I look down the street in the morning and its straight. I set my cruise in my truck and it doesnt act like I'm going uphill or downhill.

Like an irl version of someone explaining to a group of poli boarders how wrong their conspiracy theories are
Posted on 12/12/19 at 7:21 am to dawgfan24348
Flat earthers try to explain why the earth is flat with theories and conspiracy theories instead of facts. When you base a theory on another theory and that theory is based on a conspiracy theory, your original theory doesn't hold up.

I just don’t understand why they think people would lie about it being round. What would anyone gain from that?

I stopped arguing with them. Pointless. The easiest way I found to stumble them one of the scientist on there somewhat tried.
In order for their theory to be true, hundreds of thousands of people have to Univerisally agree to lie. It's simple not possible to pull that off.
They squirm out but it's usually where you get them to get uneasy.
