Flat Earth Theory Is Killing Me

I read article about how Flat Earth theory followers explained the lunar eclipse that occurred last week on January 20/21. And, I have to say, it's the craziest thing I have ever heard.

In their theory, an unseen object sits in font of the Sun, it is unseen because of the powerful light radiating from the Sun hides it from us. When that object hit a certain spot in front of the Sun, it casted a shadow on the Moon causing the eclipse.

1) We have camera technology that can take pictures of the Sun with dark lenses or use computer software to remove the blazing radiation so that we can see the Sun's surface, and there is no object.

2) Yes, Mercury and Venus sometimes cross in front of it, but they are not big enough to cause an eclipse that would cast on the Moon.

Why is it easier for them to create unbelievable fantasy of how the Earth interacts with the Sun and the Moon as a flat disc, then to believe the centuries of astronomy from scientists such as Galileo, Copernicus, Newton and others who faced prosecution for what the undeniable proof that we revolve around the Sun, our planet is a sphere that also rotates on an axis, eight other planets also revolve around this one Sun, they also have Moons that are spherical that revolve around then, and beyond that there are millions more planets and stars scattered across the universe?

If it were fiction for entertainment, I would be thoroughly entertained, yet it is not. The scary thing is they are trying to pass this off as truth. That we are all on a flat surface and somehow there is day and night. I actually don't know how they explain this because the idea is so absurd, I don't want to know. Because at the end of the day, they don't have proof. They have no evidence that any of this true, yet astronomers and astrophysicists do have proof that the universe works in the way we have all been taught that it does in school.

Don't fall prey to this false information because of some sort of intellectual rebellion, or need to be different or part of a group. There are plenty of conspiracy theories and even more human drama playing out fulfill any and all of those needs. Believing in a flat Earth should not be one of them.
