I don’t get why Noah is sold on the flat earth theory.

I don’t get why Noah is sold on the flat earth theory.

Might go hand in hand as to why he believes that NASA never landed on the moon.  I never believed that at the height of the cold war Russia would let the world think the US won the moon race after they faked it. It's a weird retrograde thinking. It's also becoming fashionable to believe that nukes are fake.  Just heard that one recently. "Nothing is real, nothing to get hung up about". The 2006 movie, "Idiocracy" turned out to be prophetic.

I do not think the earth is flat, but I know NASA lies to us.

The Flerfers always want people to show them the curve in the horizon when it is staring them in the face. As a former practitioner of the arcane and dark art of celestial navigation, this is a trivial exercise.

The Flerfers don't understand that they are living in three dimensions. All they need do is rotate their frame of reference by 90°.

The horizon is the point where a line from the eye of the observer meets the surface of the Earth at a tangent. As such, it describes a circle on a sphere with the observer in the center. The radius of the circle, distance to the horizon, is dependent on the height of eye of the observer.

By definition, the horizon is the point where the sphere curves away from them and is lost to sight.
