The Flat Earth crowd quickly disintegrates into all kinds of conspiracy theories and a general belief that everything scientific is a lie.

I have a college educated friend who works in the medical field. I’ve witnessed him fall into that rabbit hole over the last few years and he is starting to worry me. When I present him with the question of who exactly built the dome of the flat earth, he said he has no idea but “they” are hiding the truth. Who is they?? I reminded him we certainly do not have the technology to build a dome so perhaps it would be wise to either take religion more seriously or explore the Raelieniasm since those are the only two entities who could have created flat earth and the dome. I think that helped somewhat.. I hope.

I would have thought that he would had answered "the government", almost like
the alien conspiracy and to which we could ask back, "when was the dome
built then?" which would be enticing one since we still don't have the remote
possibility to build one, let alone in the past. If they can't even answer
'who built it' just shows how the whole concept is unbelievable to conceive
and yet there are so many followers.
