Why do some insist Earth is flat despite thousands of years of evidence to the contrary? <a href="https://www.youtube.com/professordaveexplains" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dave Farina</a> joins us for Skeptical Sunday to round up some answers!
<h3 class="p1">On This Week's Skeptical Sunday, We Discuss:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Belief in a flat Earth rejects historical knowledge, distorts observations, denies gravity, and originates from a mix of misguided ideas and online interactions.</li>
<li>Flat Earth proponents misrepresent scale and ignore basic principles of grade school science in their arguments against a spherical Earth.</li>
<li>The origins of modern flat Earth belief are uncertain, possibly beginning life as a meme or a conspiracy theory and gaining traction among the gullible for the benefit of disinformation peddlers.</li>
<li>Debunkers have exposed flaws in flat Earth belief with easily observable facts, thankfully contributing to a recent decline in its popularity.</li>
<li>Flat Earth belief exemplifies the broader issue of science denial in modern society and reminds us to do our part to promote critical thinking.</li>
