> i haven't done any real research You've seen pictures of the earth from orbit, right? You probably mean that you haven't engaged in all of the crazy theories and arguments put forth by flat-earthers. But that's doesn't make your very simple observation-based opinion any less justified. Direct observation can and should eliminate the need for lots of hemming and hawing. > Of course i believe in global warming, though ive never read a single paper / study on it. There are many accessible descriptions of global warming and the evidence for it written for different levels (uneducated/child; HS-level; university-level). > Of course i believe in evolution, i went to a school where they told me to believe it. That sounds like a bad experience, and maybe that explains some flat earthing. When I was in school we were presented with a lot of concrete evidence for the evolution of the species, and Darwin's original was even required reading.
