Very true, but one also needs to be illiterate to believe such things. And in western countries where people get to go to school (most of them at least), it seems absurd.
So, the only thing left to assume is that they make things for popularity and/or funding.

- sheldor 9y agoIf someone believes that the earth is flat then he automatically believes that all the pilots in the world know it (and never speak about it). That is illiteracy to say the least. You certainly don't believe everything you read, but well established knowledge from centuries ago isn't something some lunatic came up with. So if someone dismisses gravity as a hoax, are we to support him because he is a critical thinker and start jumping off cliffs trying to fly?
