Up to 10 % of people in the world believe the earth is flat. Here are someof the reasons for the belief . The people believe the government is trying to trick them, they need to do their own research since thy don’t trust science, they saw a compelling argument on youtube, and they know a friend of a friend who insists the world is flat.
I doubt the number is that high, but flat-earthers number in the thousands worldwide. There was a flat earth conference in Edmonton a few years ago (doesn't mean Alberta is a hotbed of flat earth belief).
It's caused by the way some people do research; they look for things to support their conclusions and ignore the rest.
Just like the way kids pick what they want off a plate and ignore the rest. |
