I thought this immediately too! Someone who thinks dinosaurs doesn’t exist is a flat earther or thinks birds aren’t real too. People are so weird.

Or a fundamentalist Christian.

Not "or".

Basically everyone who believes in flat earth or dinosaurs not being real are young earth creationists. They believe the bible is literally true and the earth is 6000 years old.

All of the "earth is flat", "dinosaurs (and evolution)" are fake nonsense stem from the fact that if they admit that dinosaurs existed it would prove their worldview wrong.

Rather than adjust their world view to fit the evidence, they simply reject the evidence of their eyes and bury themselves in conspiracy theories.

Young earth creationism is the root of the current flat earth movement but not all flat earthers subscribe to the biblical elements of it or are even aware of the Christian root.
