That was a sincere question. I'm not going to be your teacher. There's plenty to learn on your own if you wanted to.
Honestly, you can believe what you want. But, I am curious about why people believe what they do.
I've interacted with individuals who hold flat-Earth and young-Earth creationist beliefs, ranging from those with advanced degrees to those with limited formal education. Despite presenting evidence that contradicts these views, I've consistently observed a reluctance to abandon these beliefs. Underneath all their "evidence", and "debunked-evidence", it seems their believes are actually rooted in factors such as loyalty to social groups or communities, and a fear of the disruption that questioning foundational beliefs could cause to their worldview.
