A few year back, there was a Netflix documentary about flat earther. They’ve done a couple of experiment to prove that the earth is flat which (Spoiler alert) demonstrated that the earth is round.

So now that these persons have demonstrated scientifically that the earth is round. How are they doing ? Still flat-earther ? or did they give up with the amount of evidence they collected ?

    There is not a lot to laugh about with flat earthers. The theory stems from Christian fundamentalism, and it is tightly connected to the christofascist movements trying to coup the USA at the moment.

    And no, they are not going to give up their beliefs, because they didn’t come by them through rational thought, so rational thought isn’t going to disprove it for them.

      Just to piggyback off this for the uninitiated:

      If the Earth is round, then that means Earth is just like any other planet; one in a trillion.

      Flat Earthers are convinced “space” is an illusion, all the celestial bodies are there to trick us into feeling insignificant.

      If the Earth is flat, then we are special.

      Truth is: we aren’t, not in any cosmic sense.
