Ummm...that's easy. Naked experience on the ground tells us it's flat. No matter how far you walk, you're always standing upright. Naked experience also tells us that the sun and stars move around the earth.
It really didn't take long for people who cared to find out that the earth wasn't flat, and that it moved around the sun (along with several other planets) it simply took a long time to convince people that didn't care of those facts.
And, really, it still doesn't much effect your everyday decision making. It's just something interesting you learned in school/on the internet/on television.
