Flat earth believers

Ms Doubtfire1

To my HUGE surprise one of my friends ( know him for a few years) believes that the earth is flat, has a dome, and as such, we were never on the moon.
He is adamant he's right...I'm just about done laughing here but..any opinions ? I mean - how do you convince someone that the earth is round...you can even see it on Long distance flights...>sigh<.

As far as I can tell, before the internet the last people to believe that the earth was flat were in ancient Babylon some 3k years ago. So either your friend is a really insightful clasdical scholar who is expounding on their beliefs, or else hes had too much internet

If the Earth was flat and there was a real risk of falling off, it would be important to convince round-earthers that they are wrong, but the Earth is round and flat earthers are not in any danger.

It's a bit like God - if the God of the Bible existed, it would be important that everyone believes it, but God, and afterlives are not real so people can believe or not, makes no odds.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts - Bertrand Russell

Oi! No! The world is round, it's been round, and it will be round forever! - Stephen Hawking.

he's now saying it's not exactly flat but shaped like a saucer and the northpole is the rim so we can't fall off...#IGIVEUP

Just tell him to walk to the edge and prove its flat then :P

Day and night cycles ( Sun revolves around the earth) and different time zones countries experience compared to another, is all the evidence you need the earth is circular and shaped like a ball. Inside our Earth the land surface is flat there is no land shaped circular in shape.

There two different beliefs. Never having gone to the moon,is different to believing the earth is flat.

There is evidence Nasa has faked moon/Apollo photographs. Why they did this not sure? The evidence we never went to the moon is not strong though. The Soviets/ Russians would have said something by now. We as species did not just go one time to the moon, we went there numerous times, and many Nasa employees and astronauts were involved in the moon project for decades. This would be hard to fake.

Flat earth. Moon looks like a circle, does it not when you look it at night. If it was flat surely the shape would resemble this shape at night? If we talking about the surface of the planet, yes it is flat.

He doesn't really believe it. It's something he says because he believes it makes him look different, interesting and special.

He'll defend it for hours to anyone and talk about it for weeks because he likes being the centre of attention, not because he really thinks anyone can fall off the edge of the world.

I've met a few of that kind, and they fool nobody. They all want people to believe they're special and insightful, but they're just attention seeking idiots.

Lol. I just followed the first posters advice and told him to get into a car and start drivving.And to ring me before he fell off. >sigh<:D
