Denying the Obvious
How can someone blatantly deny something they know is true? Do they maybe believe that if they hold their ground on the topic their opposition will change the subject or accept their view as correct? It amazes me how many people can simply stand there and say no, when the question is something simple like "Is 2+2=4?" What could possibly be going through their heads to the point where they will actually say that the sun orbits the earth, or god forbid they say the earth is flat. Is it just maybe they get overwhelmed and find it easier to stand their ground?

I agree that maybe they don't want to let go of their beliefs, even if they are fully untrue. In addition, they may want to ignore a problem, and thus act as though it does not exist. This relates to how many people deny that climate change is happening, even though there is very strong and reputable evidence behind it. Probably, these people simply don't want to accept that there will be problem in the future, so they act as though it doesn't exist.
