There are several reasons why some people may believe that the Earth is flat, despite overwhelming scientific evidence to the contrary.
Despite this evidence Flat Earthers still won’t disclose the locations on where this “flat Earth” ends, or better still, jump off it with a Go-Pro.
Here are a few possible explanations as to why they claim the Earth is flat:
Lack of education or scientific knowledge: Some people may not have had access to formal education or may not have been exposed to scientific concepts that support the idea of a round Earth.
Conspiracy theories: Some people may believe that the idea of a round Earth is a conspiracy perpetrated by governments or other powerful entities to control the population or hide the truth.
Distrust of authority: Some people may reject the idea of a round Earth simply because it is accepted by mainstream science and therefore seen as an authority figure.
Confirmation bias: Some people may only seek out information that confirms their belief in a flat Earth, while ignoring or dismissing evidence that contradicts it.
Psychological factors: Some people may believe in a flat Earth due to a desire for attention, a need to belong to a particular group, or simply because they enjoy going against the mainstream narrative.
It’s important to note that while these reasons may help explain why some people believe in a flat Earth, there is no scientific evidence to support the idea, and the overwhelming consensus among scientists is that the Earth is indeed round.
The notion that the Earth is flat has been discredited for centuries, and the evidence supporting a round Earth is abundant. This evidence includes:
Satellite images of the Earth from space that clearly show a round planet.
The fact that the Earth casts a round shadow on the Moon during a lunar eclipse.
The ability to circumnavigate the globe by traveling in a straight line and eventually returning to the starting point.
The fact that objects disappear over the horizon as they move farther away, consistent with a curved surface.
Despite this evidence, some people still hold onto the belief that the Earth is flat. The reasons for this may vary, but it is likely that they are influenced by a combination of factors, including a distrust of authority, a desire to belong to a fringe community, and a lack of understanding of scientific principles. It’s important to remember that everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, but it’s also important to base those beliefs on evidence and critical thinking.
To conclude, Flat Earthers should ask themselves two serious questions:
1. Why would anyone want to withold the fact the Earth is flat?
2. Where are the edges of Flat Earth to show people?
Here are a few quotes from the biggest flat Earth idiots:
“I don’t believe that we landed on the moon. I think NASA’s hiding something, and I think the whole idea of a round Earth is a hoax.” – B.o.B, rapper and flat Earth proponent
“The horizon always rises to eye level, no matter how high you go… so when a pilot tells you that the Earth is curved, he’s lying.” – Mark Sargent, prominent flat Earth theorist
“It’s not that I’m anti-science, I just believe that science should be based on observable, testable, and repeatable experiments. And when it comes to the shape of the Earth, we haven’t seen any of that.” – Nathan Thompson, founder of the Flat Earth International Conference
“The idea of a spinning ball Earth is a fairy tale, just like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.” – Patricia Steere, flat Earth researcher and YouTuber
“Gravity is a lie, and so is the idea of a round Earth. It’s all part of a bigger conspiracy to keep us in the dark.” – Eric Dubay, flat Earth author and activist
It’s important to note that these statements are not supported by scientific evidence, and the overwhelming consensus among scientists is that the Earth is indeed round.
