When someone has a different view than mine, I try to never say they are stupid or ignorant of facts. Their available facts may be different than my available facts.

I've seen some intricate and long debates on this subject and will say that the Flat Earth believers get a little deep into the weeds with their explanations.


My main question - If every space mission, every picture taken of Earth, every science text book featuring our solar system is false...Why?

What do we gain by perpetrating this huge complicated lie to the people of the world?

The estimated cost of altering/faking every photo taken and the level of conspiracy necessary in terms of the sheer number of people involved over the decades is staggering.
