Here is a good introduction to the idea…
(Almost a third of millennials doubt the round earth. In fact, there are more flat-earthers alive, today, than at any point in world history.)
Best takeaway line from the video below:
- “…this new flat earthism clearly has a northern hemisphere bias…“
Heh, I would say that the this bias is perpetrated by imperialist white supremacist Christian cisgender capitalist heteropatriarchal males. Now… chant with me: “It is our duty to fight for our freedom – It is our duty to win – …We have nothing to lose but our chains.”
THE BIBLE DOESN’T TEACH THIS: Is the ’erets (earth) flat? — Equivocal language in the geography of Genesis 1 and the Old Testament: a response to Paul H. Seely;
ISAIAH IN PARTICULAR DENIES IT: Isaiah 40:22 and the shape of the earth;
THE CHURCH NEVER TAUGHT THIS: The flat earth myth;
IT IS SCIENTIFICALLY ABSURD ON NUMEROUS GROUNDS: A flat earth, and other nonsense — Debunking ideas that would not exist were it not for the Internet;
THE LEADING FLAT-EARTHER IS AN EVOLUTIONIST:
- “The Flat Earth Society is an active organization currently led by a Virginian man named Daniel Shenton. Though Shenton believes in evolution and global warming, he and his hundreds, if not thousands, of followers worldwide also believe that the Earth is a disc that you can fall off of.”
