Why Do People Say they Believe the Earth to Be Flat? (Page 2)

Question

If there is anyone here who comes across this and is a convinced flat-Earther, then I have a few questions for you.  a) If the Earth is flat, then why is it the case that certain constellations that are visible in the Southern Hemisphere (ex. the 'Southern Cross') cannot be seen in the North (and vice versa - we cannot see 'The Plough'). b) What lies beneath the pancake, and how far does that extend? c) What explains the - very real - phenomenon of the hulls of ships vanishing first as they sail over the horizon, followed by their sails/superstructure? d) Why has no one ever seen the edge? (And no, don't say, "It's NASA employees turning people away with their guns". Don't be stupid). e) If no one ever went to the moon, why have other nations (especially Russia, who were actually the first into space) exposed NASA over it? The lack of evidence for the perpetration of a hoax is, itself, evidence there was no hoax. f) As I type this, it is 11:50 AM on the 11/08/2021. In other parts of the world it's still the tenth. Why do we need time-zones? g) What happens to the sun at night-time? Where does it go? The Earth is a sphere, specifically an oblate spheroid. That is just a fact, one there is no sense in denying.

Why attempt to explain anything to people with no critical thinking skills?

LeftHappy · Answer

Because hundreds of years ago a theory came along that the earth was flat, so today they are just referring to the town criers that are wrong but want others to believe them!
