I know a few flat earthers. Most of them say they believe the earth is flat bc it says such in scripture.

People who believe Adam, Eve, and the apple is a true story. Bugs me so much.

Also hate those who don't believe in Santa. You have to have FAITH in Santa!

Well, at least the flat earthers can put the disappearance of MH 370 in their court.
Since we cannot locate it, they can always say the plane just flew over the edge and into space.

Yeah, and why is the UN flat earthers? I mean they're globalist but use a flat map for their logo.

Coincidentally flat earth map is the most accurate map

Sadly, we can use little scientific data because it's mostly BS...

So as far as observable data is concerned, there are a couple reasons why it is round:
1. As the sun and moon "set" on the horizon, the size of either body does not wane as it hits termination point...this MOST LIKELY means we are living on a sphere, and the objects are very far away...
2. The firmament spins around the north star, and it is spherical in shape...meaning if it were not, then as an observer moves south, he should only see the Northern hemispherical stars if it were flat...I have been to the equator and seen the southern cross constellation, therefore the body we are on is round and we cannot see what below our degree level to the south.

That's all I have, the rest of it is BS, the space stations are too low to see curved earth, but nasa shows it anyway...bubbles in space, flimsy doors on space stations, the moon landing videos, then the moon landing videos "disappearing", van Allen belts...the nasa guy that exposed the van Allen belt issue suddenly commuting suicide...

It goes on and on...

Don't even get me started on solar warden...wait for wikileaks in a few months...

I don't know anyone that believes this. If I did, I would probably avoid them.

People will buy into anything. Its the same thing with religion. There are people, I would consider intelligent, I would have never thought would get involved in some non-dom church.. And are now part of a church, cut off all ties with people who were in their lives, who are not members of the church.

This is the same mindset... In a way.

It is. I always find it funny when Christians laugh at people in cults. As if they're not in a watered down version of the same thing.

Sounds like you don't have the knowledge or ability to debate your position.

I'm open to flat earth theory. I've read some good points ITT.

But explain to me if the earth is flat then why does Captain Planet have a globe on his chest?
