The Earth looks flat in this photo taken from space

Believe it or not, some idiots think that Earth doesn't rotate and others still think that Earth is flat. I'm sure the latter group would love this picture just taken by our space Captain America—astronaut Reid Wiseman. The angles on those two coasts converging makes Earth's spheroidal surface look strangely flat.

Here's the same area in Google Maps/Earth - https://www.google.com/maps...

Oh I don't know, some certain people think that the planes on 9/11 were holograms.

I know, heck there is even some that believe that we evolved from some kind of lifeless ooze millions of years ago.

Amazing theory, since scientists can't even begin to comprehend the immensely complex nature of something as seemingly simple as a living plant. Or how we only observe life coming from other life. But somehow it makes perfect sense that we evolved from lifeless goo millions of years ago.

People sure are crazy!
