While flat-Earthers seem to trust and support scientific methods, what they don’t trust is scientists, and the established relationships between “power” and “knowledge.”

Can’t argue with that..........................

Yup. You must have posted it while I was typing.

But they ignore evidence that doesn’t support their false beliefs.

There was an idiot at FR who used to infect every spaceflight thread with “NASA hoax” garbage. I think he’s gone now.

Truth is still Truth. It is costly to obtain and is to be treasured. We don’t vote on it or decide for our selves. Maybe so, right back to the garden of Eden eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil where we get to decide.....................

I befriended someone on Facebook, only to see that he was a flat earther. All they believe is centered on the idea that there is a conspiracy to lie to us about it. I didn’t see one in that group that couldn’t state a point without alluding to a conspiracy. It was sad to see. I definitely unfriended that person.

Get to close to the edge and you can be thrown off by the rotation - just like on a playground

Flat earth is silly. Where I live we have hills, gullies and rocks, if anything it’s quite lumpy. Where are the lumpy earthers?

[SgtHooper]

They fear what they do not understand (they cut that class in school).

[faithhopecharity]

These Flat Earth people only have part of the Truth....
