Sagemindsays...Their evidence sounds pretty sound.
Mordhaussays...*quality
siftbotsays...Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by Mordhaus.
RFlaggsays...It doesn't really explain WHY they would believe such things outside they saw lots of YouTube videos. What would cause a person to reject known science that is over 2,000 years old, which was based on super simple observations? I've seen some people blame the Bible, but you'd really have to stretch things to get to the Bible saying it was flat (it makes reference to the four corners, but that's it), unlike using the Bible to claim the universe is 6,000 years old, and the Earth being the center of the universe, both of which it supports directly. So at least, in this case, we can't blame the Bible, though I'd be interested in how many of these people believe the universe is 6,000 years old and the center of the universe, as I'd expect a high correlation. Even rejecting human-caused climate change makes more sense than accepting the flat earth. It just so far beyond stupid to accept it that I can't wrap my head around it.
ChaosEnginesays...If I ever wonder how Trump got elected, I will watch this to remind me how unbelievably dumb some people are.
draeborsays..."Cuz I seen it on the YOUTUBES"
Fairbssays...I would like to know how they refute evidence from space and from people that circumnavigate the globe
the idea that you could be so sure when 99.9999% of the evidence is against your position astounds me
Earthlingsays...Get these fools on a Virgin Galactic flight ASAP.
bobknight33says...200 feet of string at the beach just does not do it.
If you want definitive proof .-----
Instead of paying 300 bucks to go this this ---
Hop in a plane and look out at the curvature of the earth.
Nuff said.
Digitalfiendsays...What I don't get is that these people cite YouTube videos as their source of proof that the earth is flat, yet, there are hundreds of videos from the ISS, stratospheric flights, etc that show the earth is round (obviously). Faaaack. It's hard to believe people can be that stupid.
littledragon_79says...So...it "feels right". Gods save us if they procreate.
robdotsays...The people who wrote the Bible thought the earth was flat,with a dome over it. The flat earthers models show this . In the Bible ,the firmament,is a dome, stretched over the earth. With water above and below it. Reread Genesis,and replace the word firmament,with dome.

surfingytsays...actually it is 100% of the evidence
when 99.9999% of the evidence is against your position
FlowersInHisHairsays...People believe the world is flat because they want to believe it. For fun, or because they are conspiracy-minded, ignorant or superstitious, or because they like to feel like they're in on some secret knowledge, or simply ideologically driven.
nanrodsays...One question I've never heard answered is why the spherical earth conspiracy even exists. What possible purpose could such a conspiracy even serve. Keep in mind that the conspiracy had to have started at least with the ancient greeks and have continued on for over 2000 years involving millions of people.
