The Flat Earth Society yet again has claimed that they have millions of followers ‘around’ the globe.

I was going to join until I read that statement. Such a letdown

Did you know?

In April 2022, the Earth's rotation will be visible from Earth ending once and for all the flat earth theory. This phenomenon will re-occur in 2316.

What are your thoughts? I mean, there’s no indisputable evidence for either. I do find it a bit hilarious that all the experiments they did in the documentary didn’t help support their argument that Earth is flat.
I can't agree that there's no undeniable evidence the earth is basically a sphere (it's not exactly). The evidence is overwhelming and vast in scope.

That doesn't mean some people will deny it but that doesn't in any way say anything about the evidence.

I have relatives that are flat earthers and I love all of them. Many of us have had lengthy discussions with them and near as I can summarize their position seems to be in defense of young earth creationism beliefs. Some other key observations have been:

• The bible is infallible.

• They tend to be skeptical of any media, government or university claims as propaganda to lure people away from biblical concepts.

• Since they function in a world where physics always performs consistently but they still have to make exceptions for radical episodes where physics and biology would not function along natural laws they subscribe to some or all of these various ideas of alternate realities:
1. God can alter all natural and physical laws at will including your perception of it so basically we live in a form of an intelligent simulation.
2. God lives in multiple dimensions and just moves things around to skirt universal laws of physics and nature.
3. We may already be dead and Earth may be a form of purgatory.

So, near as I can tell the whole enchilada is protecting the biblical story. At least in rural East Texas it is. Can't speak for the rest of the camp.
I think this is true for many of them but I think there are 'the government is lying' people, too.

Conclusion? Defective device.

That's the problem in a nutshell. They don't know how to reach valid conclusions or more likely aren't interested in valid conclusions; just the conclusion they started with.

Support science education at all grade levels so our kids learn how to investigate and reason properly.

The only possibility of it to me lay with a test by one of the most prolific and important inventors in history. He purported to successfully test a death ray and fired a beam from his laboratory in the US to Russia.

Think about this for a second...either the beam passed through the earth's surface and exited or it curved to match the earth's curvature. However we know based on current published physics information that both possibilities are impossible. That only leaves a third...the earth is flat and the beam traveled a linear path to the target.
