Flat Earthers. Really?

They say a group of people believe our earth isn’t a sphere. Really? A disk? No way! I can’t believe anyone believes that anymore!

*rolling eyes uncontrollably*

Scientific proof isn’t enough. Viewing satellite photos isn’t convincing. Studying other celestial bodies from Earth’s perspective gives them no clue about our planet’s shape. Or perhaps they do know the truth but just want to be assholes. Like anarchists, flat earthing satisfies the oppositional nature of some individuals. From what I’ve seen, flat earthers treat what they promote as more of a sport or entertainment than anything else.

I tend to look away when someone talks to me about flat earthing. If the conversation persists, I use my feet to punctuate my point.

Yes, I’ve seen their brochures. I’ve read what’s been posted and listened to the rhetoric. Their advertising has, unfortunately, passed my way more than once. I just shake my head and roll my eyes. Why revisit that old debate? There’s too much education, information and evidence that should stop that kind of nonsense from rising any more. I’m guessing there are two fair reasons why a flat earther holds onto this strange opinion.

  • They’re not intelligent.
  • They want attention.

Guess what? If you’re a flat earther, I know your point. You’ve said your piece. Now go away. The grown-ups are busy doing real work.
