I wonder what they will say about the North Pole now having temps of 27 degrees and all the ice sheet loss there and Greenland?

& before you dare say you meant Fahrenheit, I'll have you know that that system's fake! It was all invented by you know who: it even says it in the name, Far-on-the-right. You know who else is far on the right? Those bad people! Yeah, those guys. You know who I'm talking about.

Wait, are most flat earthers politically on the right or left? Not sure if this joke fits if it's the former.

Where exactly does Islamic scripture state the Earth is flat then to require you to add that qualifier?

See, that's how you debunk them. Just bring up the fact the other planets are globes so therefore the Earth is a globe and if you don't agree you are so f***ing dense I don't understand how you are beyond the level of vegetable.

We're talking about people who believe space is full of a fluid called Ether and that stars are holes in the roof of creation. I'm not sure logic works on them.

In congress no, but we have had people say the flood was real and so climate change will not happen because god promised he would not destroy the world.

I don't know about America, but here in Canada there is a huge difference between what schools say they do and what they actually do.

I don't know about the rest of Canada, but in Alberta curriculum is set and approved by the province, and provincial achievement and diploma exams necessitate that teachers actually follow that curriculum; significant deviation would show in the publicly available results.

For instance, I was educated in the Catholic system and was never exposed to any creationist/FE conspiracy theory nonsense.

Its a a woman actually, Jess Phoenix. I really hope she wins. I dont think a vulcanologist has ever served in Congress.

Why do these people exist? Should we just launch them into space to give them evidence...while the ship is hurtling towards the sun.

Not when they all melt and become one with the ship they are in before dying in a violent explosion.

Hopefully the entire mission would be recorded in a live stream but the Flat Earth people would say it was fake and those people didn't really burn up in the sun.

Well, who's up for some good old poltical manipulation, followed up with global one world authoritarian union and that's all topped off with mass genocide of the stupid.

I dont think id go that far. Maybe take on the flat Earth people and send them to the ISS for a day. But i think there's no convincing these people. Some even think dinosaurs didn't exist. How could you concoct an entire species that existed for almost 200 million years?

Dinosaurs are obviously a fabrication by the New World Order to convince us to accept the shapeshifting Reptilians as our overlords.

Of Course. The Titanosaur at the Natural History Museum was made up by a bunch of scientists as is every other dinosaur. The bones were created in a factory and then a story made up about them. How someone can actually believe dinosaurs didn't exist is beyond insane.
