Yo Steemians!
What're everyones thoughts on all the recent Flat Earth Theory stuff that has been popping up on the internet the past year?
I've been seeing a lot of stuff from this guy named Eric Dubay.. I feel he makes many valid points.
What do you guys think? Would love to hear your thoughts :)

The stars rotate anticlockwise around the north celestial pole, and clockwise around the south celestial pole. That's all the proof I need that the Earth isn't flat.
So they try and explain the south celestial pole by saying... "Lines get bent with the perspective" and "its just a massive perspective warp".
In other words.. "The south celestial pole disproves our flat earth so we just going to try and gloss over it with some pseudo-scientific bullshit about warping and bendy light"
It's ridiculous. If you actually go into the science, you'll see that the Flat Earhers just have no understanding of math or science. They 'feel' like they live on a flat surface, and so everything they are promoting is merely confirming their bias. There are literally hundreds of easy disproofs of a flat earth.
In fact, if you actually understand their map, the 'best' map that FE'ers have created in thousands of years is an Azimuthal Projection Map of a GLOBE! And come on, flights go from Sydney to Johanessburg and fly OVER Antarctica! If the earth was as they say, these flights would be impossible, and they would crash into the side of the dome!
Just do the science. It's not flat.
Their arguments are ridiculous.

Most anything can be made to sound plausible, without any knowledge of space or any of the achievements of NASA one can look to the sky and see that the moon and the stars are also circular in shape, next if I were to stand by the ocean I would see a horizon and watch the sun and moon cross this horizon rather then rise from the ocean. The earth is round and opinions otherwise at this point can be seen as anarchy towards conventional wisdom and science and maybe even common sense.
Have you looked into this theory though? They are saying that NASA is one of the biggest deceptions of all time. Made to take away our divinity and significance. They say all NASA images and videos are CGI and modified..
This is the grandest conspiracy theory of all time, perhaps I've gone too far down the rabbit hole already.. 😂😭
NASA take away our divinity and significance? I lived in Florida where NASA primarily does most launches and trust me they are not the problem with our divinity, plus sailor Fernidand Magellen was a Portuguese explorer who organised the Spanish expedition to the East Indies from 1519 to 1522, resulting in the first circumnavigation of the Earth, completed by Juan Sebastián Elcano. Even then only true anarchists believed the earth was flat. I've personally also have gone around the globe failing to fall off.
The 'theory' says that we are within an ice wall inside a celestial firmament. They also say you can travel around the 'flat earth', it would be in circles.
Not trying to say that you're wrong at all, I just want an open discussion about this topic :)

Nothing in nature is straight or flat ;)
I will give them this though- they have adamant arguments! (It's just like arguing with a 14 year old tho, everything YOU say IS wrong!)
haha! I feel they present enough information for me to question whether we are actually on a spinning ball or not.. 😳
They most certainly have thought it out quite well!
so what piece of information is keeping you from fully believing??
Nothing in nature is flat or straight. It's really that simple for me lol
there are a ton of straight things in nature, how about the horizon??
Nothing is ever straight. If you keep following the line it curves, and keeps curving, and eventually- maybe not for many millions of miles- but it will eventually come back to itself, thus forming a circle.
Well, and the fact that they cannot take anyone else's point of view. At least round earth'ers have considered their arguments...!
I'm not convinced. The whole argument is saying there is not evidence for a globe and they have loads. But it seems this telescope thing is the only evidence used. Of course if you look through something that magnifies it shows you further.
To me its a distraction story! Its to make the people who are awake and trying to expose the banksters and New world order say oh and the worlds flat because if you look at something through a device that magnifies the horizon.
There are ore important issues than this to concern my time. Maybe once people are awake and working together is could be considered.
im not saying im a full believer! they do present some convincing material though..
Maybe but at the moment there is no way of proving or disproving. I think its a distraction story design to divide, when we all need to come together and unite against the oppressors!
yess!! when did you find out? who's videos do you usually watch?
