Check it out, the earth is flat!
By the way, the flat-earth theory was a biblical theory, not a scientific theory as many proclaim. It was the early greek scientists that challenged the biblical view.

I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire

Haha, the whole website is a joke, mocking the ridiculousness of ID theory.

The Flat Earth Society is not in any way responsible for the failure of the French to repel the Germans at the Maginot Line during WWII. Nor is the Flat Earth Society responsible for the recent yeti sightings outside the Vatican, or for the unfortunate enslavement of the Nabisco Inc. factory employees by a rogue hamster insurrectionist group. Furthermore, we are not responsible for the loss of one or more of the following, which may possibly occur as the result of exposing one's self to the dogmatic and dangerously subversive statements made within: life, limb, vision, Francois Mitterand, hearing, taste, smell, touch, thumb, Aunt Mildred, citizenship, spleen, bedrock, cloves, I Love Lucy reruns, toaster, pine derby racer, toy duck, antelope, horseradish, prosthetic ankle, double-cheeseburger, tin foil, limestone, watermelon-scented air freshner, sanity, paprika, German to Pig Latin dictionary, dish towel, pet Chihuahua, pogo stick, Golf Digest subscription, floor tile, upper torso or halibut.
Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
Disregarding the dome, the essential flatness of the earth's surface is required by verses like Daniel 4:10-11. In Daniel, the king “saw a tree of great height at the centre of the earth...reaching with its top to the sky and visible to the earth's farthest bounds.” If the earth were flat, a sufficiently tall tree would be visible to “the earth's farthest bounds,” but this is impossible on a spherical earth. Likewise, in describing the temptation of Jesus by Satan, Matthew 4:8 says, “Once again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world [cosmos] in their glory.” Obviously, this would be possible only if the earth were flat. The same is true of Revelation 1:7: “Behold, he is coming with the clouds! Every eye shall see him...”

Idiots? You realize they don't actually believe the earth is flat, right?
Hey man, it's history, it's not my interpretation.
yes.
i am not typing correctly today.
that is my defense.

Hehe, works for me
The full moon is rising over dark water
And the fools below are picking up sticks
And the man in the gallows lies permanently
Waiting for the doctors to come back and tend to him,
The flat earth society is meeting here today,
Singing happy little lies
And the bright ship humana is sent far away
With grave determination....
And no destination, lie, lie, lie
Yeah, nothing feels better than a spray of clean water
And the whistling wind on a calm summer night,
But youd better believe that down in their quarters
The men are holding in for their dear lives,
The flat earth society is somewhere far away,
With their candlesticks and compasses
And the bright ship humana is well on its way
With grave determination.....
And no destination, lie, lie, lie, ad infinitum
I really should stay away from religious discussions, BUT
Gallileo (incidently has the same birthday as me) was forced to recant by the Inquisition for saying the Earth was round, not flat.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_earth_society
The Flat Earth Society is an organization first based in England and later in Lancaster, California that advocates the belief that the Earth is not a sphere but is flat (see also Flat Earth). No modern scientists or religious groups have published support for this belief.

I already showed you. The biblical verses quoted can not be possible without the earth being flat.

Rhinocerous Surprise '08!!!
As I understand it, the choice was recant, or be tortured. Have I mentioned coercion before ??
Actually, the entire Against the Grain album rarely left my disc player. I mean, if you take the album's lyrics literally, some of it is just way too obvious:
...the flow is getting stronger with small increments of time
and eddies of new ideas are increasingly hard to find
you need all that the other has, it's your right to seize the day
but with all your acquisitions you will soon be swept away...
...swimming upstream, I maintain against the grain...
And Operation Rescue? Come on.
for more Greg Graffin Love, check my sig (slightly modified).
Yeah, a choice to recant or go to prison.

Psalm 104:5 "[the LORD] set the earth on it's foundations; it can never be moved." Ecclesiastes 1:5 "the sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises."
It wasnt so much his earth is round theory, as much as it was heliocentrism that got him in trouble...

OMG lol... fucken awsome, but really what were the french thinking i mean come on! "No way they will come through the Ardennes...AGAIN..."
nice, I was just about to post these...
The "assertation" is blindingly obvious due the fact that round earth philosophers (thousands of years after it's publishing) were punished for even whispering aloud the notion of a round earth. ...that and the earth not being the very center of the biblical universe....The bible is a very old book of stories and examples of how to act in society. Due to the time of it's writing (obviously) it had a very dim knowledge of what reality was/is here on planet earth. That would be like saying man was more evolved a few thousand years ago....how silly...
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

Has little to with the bible in itself. But the bible certainly can be used or abused for almost anything, which makes me very wary of literal interpretation fundamentalists.
And those quotes, ahnimus, doesnt require a flat earth. The devil, if he has supernatural powers, can surely show jesus anything from anywhere if he so wished. And even a centre of the earth view is not necessarily a flat earth view.
Also, have in mind that the bible didn't originate the flat earth most likely. It was a common view and expressions like "the four corners of the world" stem from that, even if we dont literally mean corners of the world when we say it now. Popular theory that were integrated in the bible at it's writing at it's time.
And I am not even close to christian or even religious. I just dont see the need to bash it on faulty premises. (although I might happily bash it on other, more sound premises

i feel like i need to listen to "all ages" now.
thats a cool story, the inspiration part of course. i'm a big fan of "no substance" myself.
