The Ancient Greeks concluded Earth was a sphere, and it has been validated by scientists ever since. Despite this, there are people that insist the Earth is flat.

OP: “The Ancient Greeks concluded Earth was a sphere, and it has been validated by scientists ever since.”
Wrong and wrong! Earth is flat and stationary.

It’s a sad testament to their state of intelligence if they believe the earth is flat.

I do have a bit of sympathy for stranger views when they spring faulty generalizations. There are confusing cases where information by official sources is greatly debated. There is also a common logical fallacy that says that every accusation is true. Many people accuse the earth of being flat, plus, we know that doctors used to say smoking is harmless, so how can we trust authorities? And so on. Kids and many adults in this confusing information density don’t know what or who to believe, so some gravitate to more rebellious and outlandish theories. Many don’t actually believe it is flat, I think, they just like annoying people for amusement, sort of catfishing for gullibility. It’s like getting people worked up about the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide.

Most people have a world view based on faith as opposed to real science. The same people who laugh at the flat earther’s are unaware of their own misconceptions. For example, does the earth rotate around the sun, or the barycenter of our solar system? Most will say the sun but that is wrong, which loops back to my first sentence.

Deflated blow up earth globes showing where you can bend around to the underside where the turtles are holding us up… Okay, just kidding. They don’t come to my door, but door to door flat earth preachers could make a great SNL skit, don’t you think? What would they say? It is amusing to imagine.
“Sir, have you heard about the flat earth? Now, before you close the door, hear us out. Try this simple test with our flattened earth globe…”

Just in case we were considering the earth might REALLY be flat.
