I saw an interview by a news channel of two of the main proponents of
the flat earth during the flat earth convention. These were their “arguments”.
“Earth just can’t be round. I don’t see a round earth when I look around”
“I live by the Bible. There’s no place in the Bible that says anything
about the earth being round.”
Questions like this one had relevance decades ago, before satellites, rockets
and trips to the moon, before we had to calculate the roundness of the earth,
and the best evidence of planetary roundness was to look at other planets which,
well, are round. All that changed when we went to space. Why? Because we have
freakin’ photos of our planet! Thousands of them.
If you want to join the conspiracy theorists, go ahead but know there is nothing
to believe when it comes to the shape of the earth. You believe when you don’t
know. We know. We don’t believe the earth is round because it is not a belief,
it is a fact.
