re: The Earth is Flat

Flat Earthers are stupid is the conclusion I've come to. I've debated them a few times.

They saw that the government lies to them and that lots of so called conspiracy theories are actually true.

But then they went to the other extreme and started claiming the only thing the government does is lie.

And I assume they must be younger, because they have no concept on the fact with the technology that existed as a result of WWII it would have been extremely more difficult to fake the moon landing than to actually do it. Strapping a man on a rocket isn't exactly all that more difficult than just launching a rocket. The hard part is in the math to know where the hell it's going to go.

The technology to fake such a thing didn't exist, especially since other countries around the world including Russia tracked the entire thing.

All they see is the fact that today it would probably be easier to fake than to go. Because now we're in the digital age and that technology has been advancing for 60 years since then. And even, it's really somewhat recent that it's possible.

At any rate, this image alone disproves all claims that the earth is flat. Such an image is impossible on a flat earth, because it requires the sun to be lower on the horizon than the clouds to light the clouds up from the bottom. Can't happen on a flat earth unless everyone had day and night at the same time.
