Talking to a Science Denier | Faulty Reasoning

Science denial is not always a knowledge deficit, so you cannot 'fix' it simply by giving the correct information. A normal person, when presented with corrective information, will revise their opinion. Science denial works on a script, and evidence to the contrary is disregarded. Furthermore, even when they have the correct information, they don't 'connect the dots' and logically draw correct conclusions from the data they already present. Here we deal with a simple concept. A great circle is the shortest distance between two points on the surface of a sphere. The shortest distance between any two points on earth is a great circle distance with a radius of 3959 miles. Here a flat earther presents this fact, yet does not make the connection that as such, the earth MUST be a sphere.
