As per the most recent poll I could find (2014). I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a bit higher these days.

Most geocentrists don’t believe the Earth is flat, for whatever small consolation that’s worth.

In the movie Armageddon (1998) NASA isn’t able to detect the asteroid movie until it’s 18 days away from Earth, which is absurd. Granted, Armageddon is possibly the least scientifically accurate movie in history, but that aside…when should they have discovered it?

The movie says it’s “the size of Texas“. Let’s call it 1000 km in diameter, about the size of Ceres. We’ll also presume that it’s coming in on a trajectory similar to other extra solar asteroids, so 26 km/second.

This is a follow up to yesterday’s post, in which a number of people pointed out that not all flat earthers say that space is “fake”. But many (most?) do, asserting that astronomical images produced by telescopes, even amateur ones, are all CGI.

But what about images produced on photographic film 50 or even 100 years ago? The ones above were taken about 75 years ago. Are they fake as well?

Astrophotography equipment typically cost a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. All these images were produced by amateur astronomers using such equipment.

Are the tens of thousands of people worldwide doing this as a hobby members of The Conspiracy as well?
