The thing with the flat earth idea is that it opens up more questions and hypotheticals than it actually solves. The earth being a globe fits in with almost all basic tenets of physics. Once you start saying the earth is flat you have a bunch of questions to answer.
Why is the Moon and Sun round?
How do pilots circumnavigate the earth if its flat?
Why would anyone want to keep the earth being flat a secret?
What is on the bottom of Earth?
How does water not spill off?
How do seasons that rely on the tilt of the axis work?
Even if you wanted to approach the theory scientifically you could not because it doesn't solve any questions. It merely forces you to redesign proven theories to fit the model and science doesnt work like that. I genuinely always feel like flat earthers are all shills. I genuinely do not believe anyone can be that stupid to try to discredit almost all basic physics and science based on easily explainable phenomena.
