碇 シンジン 27,427 August 24, 2018 Share August 24, 2018 I think it started just to oppose the mainstream views and with some conspiracy theories but if you live in your own delusions long enough you actually start believing in them, personally I think that is what has happened. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celli 4,332 August 24, 2018 Share August 24, 2018 (edited) Hey, if you tell yourself something so delusional enough times you might start believing it, and then make books about it, and cults, etc. You may also start believing the Earth is 6000 years old.

Iam 525 August 24, 2018 Share August 24, 2018 The poor flat-earthers have lots (LOTS) of cognitive errors, they do not believe in science, which means they abandon such things as geometry, pshysics and formulas and - afterwards - they won't stop believe in such a thing as flat Earth not only because they are believing to the point of fanatism, but they would be conscious of how much time they wasted on such things recognising they were doing bad. Nobody would take that internal pressure. About repeating things and believing afterwards in them, I'm also an example (victim?): I believe in existence of Equestria and all that social utopia world. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing open minded about believing the earth is flat.

Guest August 24, 2018 Share August 24, 2018 I'm only going to say this once; Keep the personal attacks to yourself. If you have a strong opinion about the topic, that's fine, but the snide, offhand commentary is a little below what I know everyone here to be capable of. Be amazing to each other.

Dashy 4 Ever 4,832 August 24, 2018 Share August 24, 2018 if the universe is 40 billion years old then shouldn't at least one alien race have found us already? exactly thats why there is proof of God, because we are the one and only planet with life.

The Kaeya Simp 13,953 August 24, 2018 Share August 24, 2018 Anyways, There are smart reasons why to believe the earth is flat! We'd all be crushed by gravity if the earth was round for one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Recherche 29,965 August 24, 2018 Share August 24, 2018 There are two viable explanations I have arrived at. Trolling. Be honest; if you were a troll, then the Flat Earth theory is the perfect way to piss someone off. You can dodge facts all you like, you can be as snide as you like, you can be as persistent as you like... you understand what I'm saying. For trolls and other various turmoil-seekers, the Flat Earth theory is a gold mine for internet outrage. Indoctrination. For those who truly believe the Earth is a solid plate, they are often taught this at a young age. The young mind is malleable, and once a child learns something, it's very hard to convince them otherwise, and once they reach adulthood, it's difficult to teach old dogs new tricks. 2 hours ago, Sherbert Music-Guard said: We'd all be crushed by gravity if the earth was round for one! Not if our bodies have evolved to withstand the pressure. Not to mention, Earth's gravity is... exceptionally weak compared to that of other astral bodies. If we were to travel to Jupiter, for instance, then we wouldn't be able to stand upright, due to the much stronger gravitational force. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning with a round earth, gravity would force you into the center of the earth, crushing and killing you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
