    It's ok amigo, I just googled "space exploration is all fake" and this is the first result, so it must be true!

    Not a sin but those Men in the early biblical era had a much more advanced knowledge on Earth and Space. They used words like,

    - Orion
    - Pleiades



    .....in the Book of Job.

    Oh hell no.

    Flat vs. Round is not belief vs. belief. Its fact vs. fiction.
    You don't get to say dumb **** like "I don't believe in gravity" or "I don't believe in planets" and hide behind "it's my belief; respect it".

    Is a video illustrating what I wasn't able to debunk (because I didn't try most likely lol) and could help understand what it was I was talking about that I found interesting.

    Heads up the dudes voice is annoying af

    One quick look at Travelocity shows direct flights from Perth to Johannesburg with 10:45 flight time, just like that flat-earther says it should. So that is about 500 mph. Who cares if there are other flights with one stop.

    Go here and click "Non-Stop" filter
    Travelocity Direct flight Perth to Johannesburg


    debunked

    This is how we end up with "Alternative Facts" like dinosaurs didn't exist, the earth isn't round, Finley wasn't out of bounds, creation was 5000 years ago, etc....

    We have to tell the idiots that they are idiots, or else how will they ever know?

    Lol like I said, I never looked into it but I figured I would easily debunk it.

    I just remember it being a weird and interesting stand to use as evidence to back a claim of flat earth lol.

    also, someone debunked the flat earth map by showing the flight time of a New Zealand to Santiago, Chile flight. On the flat earth model the plane would have to go twice the speed of sound to make it in the same amount of time...because that's a really long flight on their map. Look at the map in the quote above

    here's the flight time data from Qantas

    Yeah I figured it could b3 easily debunked I just didn't look into it. The other main argument is curvature which was easily debunked

    Why is the North Pole so cold if it is in the center of the earth?

    Did it ever occur to you that the airlines are part of this and put all the passengers that fly those flights in a trance so they don't realize they are in the air so long? Flight times can easily be fudged.

    If you scroll down in that link I provided, a flat-earther joined in the conversation to say, sure the Perth to Johannesburg direct flight is in the airline database, but you can't ever book it.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Not a huge Lin fan as a player, but I gotta give him props for calling out stupidity. None of this "I agree with him" or "he's entitled to his opinion" nonsense.
