Yes, but the explanations I've heard don't make any sense (very surprising)

Both Eddie Bravo and Eric Dubay have said something along the lines of:

Q: What is the point of fooling people that the earth is round?

A: Because if the earth was round, we would just be on a spinning ball in the middle of nowhere, we would just be tiny flesh-bags in an infinite universe with no meaning or purpose. That's the evil elites' plan! They want to make us ignorant of the fact that god created this special place. The earth is god's creation and it is flat.

Of course, this doesn't make any sense.
1. Why does a flat earth necessitate divine creation any more than a round earth would?
2. Whether the earth is flat or round is irrelevant to the question of whether the universe is infinite or not
3. Whether the earth is flat or round is irrelevant to the question of whether we have a purpose or not
