The Flat Earth Society considers the notion of a round earth to be a conspiracy. Flat earthers
turn to the Bible to support their claims. A
map of the flat earth (oddly similar to the
UN logo), where
N is the central open sea, I, the circular wall or barrier of ice, L, the masses of land tending southwards, W, the "waters of the great deep," surrounding the land, S, the southern boundary of ice, and D, the outer gloom and darkness, in which the material world is lost to human perception.
A 3D view of the
Zetetic universe.
You know who else thought the earth was round?

"Just for the record, do you believe the Sun goes around the Earth or the Earth goes around the sun?" : Ages before
"Intelligent Design",
a bold PaleoCreationist pseudoscientific
gobbledygook - embodied by Tom Willis,
Creationism's man
in Kansas and head of the
Mid Atlantic Creation Research
Society - strode the Earth. The AAAS dissected the mess in
"Lions, Tigers and APES, Oh My! ; Creationism vs. Evolution in Kansas" (
Google cache) and one writer concluded :
"The War between the creationists and
the public schools is over. The creationists appear to have won" : now, in a Kansas that's scientifically proven
flatter than
a pancake,
Mona Lisa is as
happy as a clam, and
Kissing Frank's ass and appeals
to
mysterious watchmakers predominate, while on
the national stage,
God is a
real estate developer.
Meanwhile, a
new group
proposes better zoning bylaws :

THIS OBJECT DOES NOT EXIST so the world is flat and five-pointed, there is only one Springfield, and there will soon be fake fossils on Mars. and don't let any of these so-called "scientists" tell you something different.
