I am honestly so surprised that people believe the earth is flat. Before coming to Steemit, I had never even heard of this. I thought those people were long extinct. You know, when way back they discovered the earth was round?

There's a lot of people here into various conspiracies. They seem to want there to be some alternative to what the rest of us believe. It's a sort of cult in my opinion
Yeah, I've noticed Steemit to be a bit heavy on conspiracy theorists. It's interesting to read sometimes, but things like the flat earth theory to me are just too weird to even consider. Same with the chemtrails.
I tend not to get too involved in the discussions, but this was funny
Even then, the church tried to suppress facts for a long time afterwards.
I think all of this weird stuff is making a comeback just because of how the mainstream has treated the topic and made science out to be much more than it can be. They want it to replace philosophy itself.
There's this false belief that if we can just put a lot of tax money into science (biased, state vetted scientists) we will eventually cure religion....
I don't think religion is curable by anything really. I think it's human nature to need someone or something to blame or to make sense of it all. Many more people now have put their faith in science, but science can't explain everything and I don't think it will ever be able to. It's easier to give some unknown thing so much power and then blame it for everything good/bad/unexplainable. Makes life easier to cope with. Though I'm not sure how, logically speaking, you could justify it to your own brain. But logical thinking isn't as common as some might hope.
This, I can agree with.
