How do people belive in a flat earth?

In point of fact, I believe that Mars is flat.

I mean... you can actually see the earth is curved by just looking at the sky... or going on a plane. I dont get it either... I saw something a few days ago where someone who believes in a flat earth was building a rocket or something like that At least if he succeeds he might come back and realize he was wrong... or lie. Which he will probably do

This seems to be a factor:

You certainly have to give some of the theories credit, though. Some people put an astounding amount of thought and effort into trying to explain these 'conspiracies'. It almost makes you wonder what would happen if these people put such passion and thought into actual scientific research.

But a guy used a spirit level on a plane. That's evidence, right?

Does it actually say the world is flat in the bible?

Though I am with gen.   I was able to look up, and see the curve of the sky, as far back as 4th grade.  Though I will say, no one else around me could see it.

Right, mariners even in ancient times knew the earth was round due to how ships would "dip" into the horizon and with how they used the stars to navigate.

"The earth is in the form of a disk with the North Pole in the center and Antarctica as a wall around the edge. This is the generally accepted model among members of the society. In this model, circumnavigation is performed by moving in a great circle around the North Pole.

The earth is surrounded on all sides by an ice wall that holds the oceans back. This ice wall is what explorers have named Antarctica. Beyond the ice wall is a topic of great interest to the Flat Earth Society. To our knowledge, no one has been very far past the ice wall and returned to tell of their journey. What we do know is that it encircles the earth and serves to hold in our oceans and helps protect us from whatever lies beyond."

No, it doesn't. The church doesn't claim it does either. Galileo had a hard time with the church back in the old days, though. Back then they were claiming the earth was the center of the galaxy and the sun and all the planets rotated around it.

Same way people can believe there is no Finland.

The Catholic Church has come around to accept global warming, evolution etc. That doesn't mean all Christian groups have done the same. The Catholic Church isn't the most backwards church by a mile.
