As Iโve heard it, they believe that other planets are around because they can be observed. Any observation of the earth being round is a lie.
These people are crazy
Uses telescope to observe Mars
Yup, that's round.
Is taken up into space to look down at the round Earth
No, it's still flat. The windows are curved to make it look round.
Is taken to Mars with the same telescope and it's pointed at Earth
The glass on the telescope is round, which makes the Earth look round.
Something like that, yes
