Why do some people today still believe that the Earth is flat? What evidence has convinced them that this is so?
But these are all quite easily debunked. How do they still hold onto their beliefs?
It's difficult to say. Confirmation bias may play a role, as well as a desire to feel part of a community that shares similar beliefs. Additionally, some people may be attracted to the idea of being a "rebel" who goes against mainstream science.
