I don't think that there are many people who still seriously believe that nowadays! Those who do, in the face of all factual proof to the contrary, probably find the idea of a round planet threatening for some reason, or cannot get their heads around the fact that in terms of physics, the smaller an entity is on a large circular surface, the flatter it will seem to them (a good analogy is that of a flea hopping across the surface of a hot-air balloon- the flea is so tiny in comparison to the size of the balloon, that it would not notice the curve in it's surface. And we are so very, very microscopic in comparison to the size of our planet). Other people may maintain the belief because they belong to arcane religions that dictate that the earth is flat.
