Secular "science" would have the assumption that God is not involved. Then there is the term Creation "Science".Why is it being called Young Earth Creationism when it's just Anti-scientific Creationism?

When I was hospital early in 2019 I briefly thought it might be possible within a simulation and it is a test of God's word (the Truth) vs worldly "wisdom". It would also require that NASA is part of a big conspiracy. Anyway now I believe there are no good reasons to believe in the flat earth - unless you believe the Bible is 100% True.I'm not sure in which universe a flat earth would or could be possible. The ancient Greeks worked out the shape of the Earth over two thousand years ago.
I think what is more important is how many indoctrinated children you can have, and if you can wipe out or convert those with other beliefs. This can be related to Islam. Beliefs can have survival value, and aren't necessarily True (like the belief in Heaven and hell). This is about "memes".......If an organism does not make an accurate observation of it's environment that is different from an organism that makes an accurate observation of its environment...

Some flat earthers I've come across don't believe in gravity. They believe the reason why objects fall is that the earth is constantly accelerating upwards......it is the principles of mass and gravity that simply do not permit a flat object with the mass of the Earth to form or maintain the shape of a disk. It would quickly collapse into a sphere...unless the very same rules the system operates, gravity, mass, etc, are suspended in this instance. Which creates a whole lot of other problems.

Yes ultimately it is false - but they have counter-arguments for many of these things.What they believe is false, orbital mechanics, the sun, moon, other planets, stars, time zones, horizon curvature, etc, etc, falsifies their belief.

The Flat Earth Society members probably believe that the rest of society is suffering from the Dunning-Kruger Effect, that they themselves are immune....being select members of 'in the know' group, and all.

Isn't that how a cult operates?

I think it is related to how popular an idea is.....what "can seem" plausible is not a measure of anything.
Ok. BTW I found it interesting that earlier you said this:No, it's not a matter of popularity. The notion of plausibility or reasonableness is very much a part of probability, logic and rational thinking.
For example, we employ the concept of plausibility when we consider whether the premiss of an argument is more plausible than its negation. Or which is the best (most plausible) explanation for a set of known facts.....
The young earth creationist has to invoke more miracles than the old earth creationist.
But both views are still more plausible than the non-theistic alternative.
