I can’t speak for others, but I’ll say that the “flat earth” that’s commonly depicted by “globers” (a disc floating in space) is nonsense; a strawman used to discredit and debunk the school of thought.
The “proofs” and the mathematics presented to us as facts do not align with my observations and rudimentary calculations of the world. The governments and agencies who’ve provided these truths and facts are not trustworthy.
If I were to equate globe belief to religion, I would say:
Globe earth: atheism
Unsure: agnosticism
“Flat earth”: belief in
When you look at belief in, many people who believe in god believe in a different god or set of gods or rules of god, or even some form of Omnispiritualism: very different, all while sharing some overall consistencies. Agnostics such as myself, often don’t know what to believe but believe that there is or could be something, and want to know. Lastly, atheism speaks for itself. The firmly held belief in “science”; the religion dressed up as no religion at all.
I can’t say what’s right, but that doesn’t mean I can’t say what’s wrong.
Our governments have orchestrated lies against us:
COVID: a pseudo science fear campaign leveraged to implement controls against freedoms and liberties
(USA) 9/11: a false flag attack used to rationalize the implementation of authoritarian policy
Climate change: a scientific hoax perpetuated to tax, punish, and control the population
Gender theory: a tool to confuse and convince people of the lack of purpose or natural design.
I could go on and on.
If you strip out the theoretical mathematics, scientific theory, celestial coincidence, and other tools used to explain away inconsistencies in globe theory… it’s not very believable.
@grav provided a nice list of some of those glaring inconsistencies which require PHD level theoretical mathematics to explain away.
Employment of Occam’s Razor highlights that:
If the perfectly consistent procession of the stars is repeated over centuries, then they’re probably NOT all flying in different directions at hundreds of thousands of miles per hour with “proof” of parallax that’s only detectable by sophisticated equipment.
If the sun and the moon are the same exact size in the sky, then they’re probably NOT exactly 400x times different in size AND 400x different in distance.
And so on…
To me personally flat earth is the sum of the inconsistencies in the heliocentric globe earth theory, rather than providence of concrete proof of an alternative system.
