In 2015, out of nowhere, there were rising Eric Dubay and jeranism, the two main FE shills on youtube and elsewhere. Dubay had supported the view of Sungenis before, as I have docuмented on CI, before he came up as the FE king having published his tract in Nov or Dec of 2014.

Not this crap again.  You seem to have a unnatural obsession with Dubay.

There hasn't been flat-earthism on CI before Dubay came up. And, in the the rest of the world, flat earthers were vastly unknown. You can't deny the facts.

Show one flat earth post on CI before Dubay! You can't!

And you can't turn St. Thomas Aquinas into a flat earther, either.

I admit I was convinced of the truth of flat earth by Eric Dubay, but so what?

Do you admit that you were convinced by the "man", or by arguments? In the latter case, which ones?

Definitely the arguments. He's not that charismatic, lol.

What was the most striking proof to me was the countless examples of people being able to see much further than 3 miles out at sea level(which is the distance predicted by the globe earth model). Also, when you look out across a body of water, it is clearly level and rises to meet the eye line of the observer, which is what universally happens along flat surfaces.

Congrats! What about the position of the Church?

Not sure what you mean.

I thought so.

As far as I know, the Church takes no official position on the shape of the earth.

You should check out the many threads on this topic of the past weeks here on CI. You will wonder about many posts.

You're right that flat earthism became a popular idea in modern culture in 2015, but it wasn't for the reasons you give here. (By the way, of all the people defending flat earthism in these discussions, I'm curious how many of them believed the earth was flat at the beginning of 2015? Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?)

No, what happened to popularize flat earthism with mainstream modern culture was that a black rap singer named B.o.B. started posting on Twitter in January of 2016 that he thought the earth was flat, and since he was a black rap artist and everyone followed what he said, the idea went viral. It has been viral ever since.

Here is the picture of the "gentleman" in question. This is the guy that popularized and mainstreamed the theory that the earth is flat:

Do we even know that in space there is a vacuum, no trace amounts of oxygen at all?

We don't even know that there is a space.  And, if there is a space, doesn't it have some substance like an ether in it?  Sungenis, for instance, posits that there's a dense medium in space.  Even the modern scientists are now playing with the notion of "Dark Matter" because their observations violate the core principles of their cosmology.
