The earth is round. Round I tell you!

Not only have people from countless generations known it and proved it mathematically, most of these experiments can be repeated by most anyone with a little bit of time. Isaac Asimov put it well when saying "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

When confronted with scientific evidence, some of these so-called "flat earthers" tend to skew and incorrectly interpret whatever they take offense with at the moment, creating headaches for everyone else. That being said, let's take a look at five arguments, that, in my opinion, do a pretty darn convincing job of telling us to listen to the people with the science degrees and move on to arguing over something else.

3. If our earth is flat, why are the other planets round?

Anyone can take a telescope and clearly see that the moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are all clearly visible. with a more powerful telescope, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto become visible. All are clearly rotating spheroids. Why would Earth be the only flat planet? (Pluto isn't considered, a planet, but you get the idea.)

4. Why haven't we discovered other flat planets?

Everyone has been searching the night sky for hundreds of years. Why haven't we found any planet-sized floating disks in orbit around stars? I understand that space is vast, but if we can't find a flat planet easily, doesn't that mean that the chances of us being on a flat earth are that much smaller?

Anything else we want to add to the argument? I'm not a scientist and don't claim to be one, but there are ones out there that agree with (mostly) everything on this list. Let's talk about it! Just remember to be respectful it in the comments! (I'm talking to you. Yes, you. That means you. No trash talk, please.)
