Science!

People love a conspiracy theory. So much so, that some folks put all common sense aside to follow them.

Yeah, and they love to congratulate themselves for being critical thinkers who don't just accept what they're told. :rolleyes:

Not that some healthy skepticism isn't a good thing. But clinging to a belief in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary isn't healthy skepticism.

I'm fascinated by the lengths FEers go to to "prove" their beliefs. All of their YT vids are titled "PROOF'" "FLAT EARTH FACTS" etc. It's clickbait. They actually believe that the Earth is special in that it's at the center of all existence which, by the way is only the Earth. No stars or planets. It's flat as a pizza, with the crust being Antarctica. The earth is covered by a glass dome, which they can't explain what this "glass" is made of; Pyrex? Plexiglas? and how long it's been up there. To them, Earth is a giant snowglobe with water in the oceans and water above the glass dome, which they call the "firmament". And here's the kicker: The sun isn't 93M miles away, it's only about 300 miles up (the moon too) and the sun and moon travel in circular motions, going round and round. This is their explanation of night and day. Visible stars and other planets are just lights generated by Nasa. Oh, and satellites are fake. So is the Space Program. All space programs, from all nations. We're all in collusion to hide the "real truth" of the Flat Earth from all of mankind. I've learned all of this ridiculousness from watching quite a few of them.

Their hatred of anyone who supports real science is their enemy, Bill Nye and Neil DeGrasse Tyson in particular. But the entity they hate the most is Nasa. They absolutely hate us. All of the prior missions? Fake. Moon landing? Fake. The ISS? Fake. All CGI.

Just my opinion, but this bunch is a direct result of our failing education system. That, along with sleeping through science class and crazy parents. Then, they grow up and turn to YT for their education.

I don't know if it's a failing education system as much as a theocratic mind set creeping into and expanding in the populace. As the Christo-facist population grows (by breeding and pulling in more halfwits) it starts to question what is taught, how it is taught, by whom it is taught, etc. This tears at the very heart of what is fact. Anything that isn't in line with their myopic perspective can't be trusted.

Homeschooling has grown significantly in the last few decades and a lot of it has to do with people like this removing their children from the "system". A system that's supposedly out to get them, make them hate God and Jesus, turn kids gay, normalize sin and depravity, and other outmoded ignorance. That said, not all homeschoolers are deluded or crazy, but some are...many even, possibly most. Those that are delude, of course do not see it that way.

I love how they blindly accept their religion without evidence, but deny evidence-backed fact. It's weird that more of these twits are Christian Scientists...it would be helpful in thinning the herd. I'm joking, I don't want to have any dissenters eliminated on either side of any issues. Ideally people would embrace education, asking real questions with the desire to get real answers..even those that don't jibe with what you've assumed or been led to believe.

Science and religion can be friends, but it's particularly hard to Christians in the U.S. to accept or even handle philosophically.

Seriously. It's like people who say Dr. Pepper is good or Green Day doesn't suck. There's overwhelming evidence to the contrary. :embarrassed:
