Flat-Earthers do rank high on any good gullibility index, however.
Flat-Earth doctrine is based on the original confidence trick pulled by Samuel Rowbotham, starting in the 1840s. Today it is pushed by professional Russian trolls and conspiracy theorists. There is zero credible evidence to support the flat Earth, and every one of Dubay’s dubious 200 ‘proofs’ (almost none of them would constitute a proof in any regular sense of the word) has been debunked many times and many ways. Most of them are claims without evidence.
After decades of investigation, measurements and analysis, there is no evidence to support the flat Earth, and it all supports the approximately spherical Earth model. If you cannot understand that, you clearly have not had it explained to you properly.
