It's a generally good idea to question everything. That is science after all. Well, one half of science. The other half is verifying unproved theories. So if you're not sure yourself, go see for yourself! If you're so certain the earth is flat... prove it.
Above all, just never act on ignorance. If you don't have all the information, then it's best to abstain from any course action that depends on it.
Obviously a lot of what people are capable of would be impossible if everyone was still operating under the basis that the world is flat. Which nobody ever has. Anyone who has ever observed the curvature of the earth or has had to navigate based on the fact that the earth is spherical knows better.
Oh, and to back up Kylo Ken's point. Scientists are human. Humans lie. Therefore, scientists can lie for the same reasons anyone else can act dishonestly. They can also simply be mistaken, as well. But calling something a fact just because you proclaim "SCIENCE!" is no more valid than proclaiming something true just because you proclaim "GOD!"
