I'm sorry. I know a couple people that I'm fully expecting to believe in "flat earth" soon.

Might want to edit the second part of your post.    :wasted

That is just bizarre. I had to look it up just to see if that was a real thing. Your cousin is an idiot  :lol:  But they have to come from somewhere. Their numbers are increasing by about 200 people per year.

NASA scientists are guarding the ice wall that surrounds our disc, to keep people from falling off  :facepalm:

So thats why those lunar eclipses look square. 

Do flat-earthers think the Moon is flat, too? And all the other planets & moons?

It's like we're determined to say "Eff the Renaissance and science, let's go back to the Dark Ages!"

I blame the internet. This is probably the worst time period for confirmation bias. If an idea (however dumb) pops into your head and you google it, there is probably at least 1 result out there about your idea being correct, and the person writing about it sounds smart.

IDK, you'd have to pretty dumb yourself for somebody talking about the earth being flat to sound smart. I mean I can kind of see how some conspiracy theories get legs but the earth....flat. There is absolutely no proof for that and limitless info proving otherwise. I'm going to read up on it more. What I've seen so far is comedy gold.

His reasoning is the bible says it is flat and you cant see the curvature of the earth looking out at the horizon. Oh and he thinks the moon landing is fake. He is on a facebook consoiracy crusade right now. Cant wait to see whats next. 

Yeah, because the Bible is exactly 100% accurate based on the science that was available over 2,000-3,000 years ago.

Watch a video ED. They can make it sound smart, especially if you don't understand anything about science.

He believes in the moon?  I guess they're right, a sucker is born every minute.

Rike, take him to a beach and ask him to explain why the ship not only gets smaller as it moves further away, but why does the hull dissapear while you can see the mast gets shorter and shorter. The ancients had this figured out millennia ago. 

I wish I was that naive again. I could believe in conspiracies like 9/11, the moon landings, lizard people...

I dont hang out with that loser haha. He is a criminal, has been to jail multiple times for multiple things. He is also uneducated. Id rather take my dog to the beach and talk to her about the earth being round lol. Hes a disgrace. 

Hahahhahaha! Everything makes sense now

I'm not sure if the Bible even says the Earth is flat....

Why I just can't hardly believe a 6'+/- tall person standing on the surface of a 41,804,400 foot diameter sphere would not be able to see the curvature. Must be flat. :facepalm:

If it were flat, wouldn't a person be able to see the edge of the world with a powerful enough telescope? There wouldn't be a horizon. But I guess NASA probably secretly makes all those trick telescopes anyway.

Don't forget that planes would have to be flying in a circle between continents instead of across the globe. That seems like it would be easy to track on an international flight.

I'm a veteran of dozens of years of Bible study and I can't recall anything that speaks about the Earth being flat. Any hints on what book/chapter/verse they're talking about?

Not sure Knapp. I just saw it on facebook and one if his friends was responding and he said it says it in the bible and the govt is lying to us bc then they would have to admit there is a god. I wanted to call him out so badly but itd just be a waste of time.
