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

the tiny, tiny writing at the bottom says:
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.So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream

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...”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.

Idiots? You realize they don't actually believe the earth is flat, right?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.

Lie, lie, lie.......
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 infinitum0 -

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.Music is not a competetion.0 -
Since there is nothing on the true internet encyclopedia, Conservapedia, I'll be forced to reference Wiki even though it's crazy liberal bias is tough to get past..
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.make sure the fortune that you seek...is the fortune that you need0 -

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

My daughter and I use the term "flat earther" referring to people who adhere to the going schools of thought to the degree of limiting themselves from hearing and understanding ideas from outside the box."The opposite of a fact is falsehood, but the opposite of one profound truth may very well be another profound truth." ~ Niels Bohr
