RE: The Flat-earth theory is ludicrous! How can people believe in this shit in the 21st century??

in #stupidity7 years ago

Hey @mexbit nice to see you so long time!! I read about it which is in 2010, its American-born but England-based new president, Daniel Shenton, gave an interview to the Guardian in which he spoke about keeping Johnson’s message alive in the 21st century. Unlike his predecessors, he believes in global warming and evolution. But the shape of the Earth ... not so much:

The Earth is flat, he argues, because it appears flat. The sun and moon are spherical, but much smaller than mainstream science says, and they rotate around a plane of the Earth, because they appear to do so.

Inevitably, Shenton’s argument forces him down all kinds of logical blind alleys – the non-existence of gravity, and his argument that most space exploration, and so the moon landings, are faked. But, while many flat Earthers have problems with the idea of orbiting satellites, Shenton navigates the London streets using GPS. He was also happy to fly from the US to Britain, but says an aircraft that flew over the Antarctic barrier would drop from the sky, and from the planet.

Nice background info... yeah... flat-earthers a re really not consistent...
