Learn the history of Alchemy, Gnosticism, Kabbalah, Freemasonry, and you will understand 'why'... If man is made to believe they came from apes and are an insignificant spec in the universe, things are easily manipulated. Personally, I don't know what the earth looks like, but I know the surface isn't curved at 8in/mi squared. The 'conspiracy' doesn't need to involve many people, and the people that seem to be the gate keepers of sorts are all part of these masonic groups. You do not advance unless you drink the kool aid. Are all the pilots and navigators and scientists 'in on it'? No, why would they need to be. I went through many years of school in 'science' and I didn't need to know. If a result disagrees, just apply some principle of 'gravity' and all is well. Gravity isn't proven, anywhere. Motion isn't proven, anywhere. Relativity was born as a way to explain lack of observable motion. There are no aliens, there is no space. There is a Biblical model, and it seems to be true. That's my belief. 'Science' is itself now a religion of faith, where the unobservable is fact. They theorize absurd notions because their equations have led them so deep into a nonsensical rabbit hole that matrix theory and multi-verse theory are now accepted as reality. All of it based on one single faulty premise...the motion of the earth. Quantum mechanics finds chaos as it delves deep, this is no mistake. Man is not meant to know all the inner workings of things, but how convenient is it to make the world appear so complex that 'common man' has no business trying to understand any of its underlying truths? That it's better left to elite groups and specialized knowledge. When anything doesn't compute, just thrown in, "Must be a gravitational effect." What a perfect force. It's powerful enough to hold all water to a ball spinning at 1000mph, yet delicate enough to allow balloons to float away. Why? Because it acts everywhere completely uniformly and gives the appearance of immobility. Things are moving, but they now appear still right? The sun and moon appear close, but they are incredible distances away. Time is changing, but it appears constant. Matter is in constant flux with velocity, but appears stable. What better control mechanism could there ever possibly be? It's a great delusion, and it was spoken of in 2nd Thessalonians 2:11. They have turned this world 'upside down.' Isaiah 29:16. You can decide for yourself, but I would encourage you to study Alchemy as a starter. You will realize 'science' is not atheistic at all. It is based in deception, and the reality is, very few need to actually know it. When they turn some supposed satellite around and show me some real time footage of planes taking off at all different angles around globe, they have something. But they don't, ever. You get CGI composites of earth, that are never sized correctly to the supposed curve or colored the same. You get Saturn Cubes placed on Saturn, and Pluto's face put on Pluto. You get masonic measurements of speed, tilt, and velocity, 'sex' written in photoshopped clouds, like a game. Astronaut movements on the ISS and on the Moon that are ridiculous. The more you know, the less you'll believe.
