Speaking as a person who genuinely believes the earth is flat -- I love science, and I believe the scientific method is the best way for us to arrive at knowledge. This messaging that flat earth belief means you are -- against science, again the environment, here to send us back into a non-thinking society is all unfounded slander. There is a movement growing for the past couple years, started early 2015, of people sharing videos on youtube making a case for the fact that we can not be on a spinning ball. Most people decide to watch these videos as a joke, knowing it can't be true, but the logical arguments showing issue with aspects of the globe model compel enough people who watch these videos as a joke to get curious and investigate further. We all know it still sounds like a joke to anybody who doesn't go through this discovery process themselves. But it is not a joke. The globe model is deeply problematic. And realizing this carries no necessary correlation with any other opinion.
