flat earther mom establishes flat earth foundation in kid before they see a earth globe

18. If they got the sizes all correct, then it'd form a sphere

The basic thing about a flat earth is you have to lie about reality. For instance, in a reply to a flat earth book of the early 20th century:

I will only give one other example of the astronomical proofs:

'If the earth were a globe, the distance round the surface, say, at 45 degrees south latitude, could not possibly be any greater than the same latitude north; but since it is found by navigators to be twice the distance—to say the least of it—or double the distance it ought to be according to the globular theory, it is a proof that the earth is not a globe.' This sort of thing reduces my mind to a pulp. I can faintly resist when a man says that if the earth were a globe cats would not have four legs; but when he says that if the earth were a globe cats would not have five legs I am crushed.
