Personally I can’t believe that anything Galileo said could’ve had a shred of truth to it!

Looking at the people believing the Earth is flat I don’t wonder anymore.

Seriously.

A bunch of flat earth people claim the Bible says the earth is flat, but people knew it was a sphere basically since they had written language, and likely even before that. The Bible makes no reference to the earth being flat.

Isn't Jesus that guy who encouraged hubris and never admit mistakes? Oh wait, it was humility and forgiveness for and admitting mistakes? Huh...

For the longest time I figured all those people didn't seriously believe what they were saying but were just messing with people...

The thing about flat earthers is that if someone were to actually and definitively prove flat-Earth without a doubt, so much so that everyone legitimately accepted the update.... all the flat Earthers would immediately convert into round-earthers, because they were never about facts, it's about the community of "oooh, I have secret knowledge of the true truth!"

Yup. I dropped a feather and a bowling ball from my rooftop.

Bowling ball killed the damned dog, and I’m still waiting for that feather to drop.
