                I always like to give the benefit of the doubt to folks, and see how much rope they reel out before they hang themselves.

                It could be they just misinterpreted or misunderstood the concept of "discworld" as being more than a figment of Terry Pratchett's imagination.

                    As a professional geographer do you think I could lose my job for holding such 'beliefs'? (not that I do, mind you!)

                    Assuming it is flat, what does this mean about heaven and hell in the traditional sense (God above, Devil below)? I'd be curious to see how many flat-earthers are religious.

                        It's no more ridiculous to believe in a flat earth than in a supreme supernatural being, surely? Both ancient beliefs, unsupported by any evidence?

                          Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

                            Nope. But absence of evidence IS absence of evidence 😉

                                  In Latin Vulgate Bible, Proverbia 8:31, the shape of The Earth is described as an oblate spheroid:
                                  “…ludens in orbe terrarumet deliciae meae esse cum filiis hominum.”
                                  In English, Proverbs 8:31 wasn’t translated properly…!

                                          😄 that's our darkest secret, all romanians are in fact aliens bent on world domination..they just work in misterious and very slow ways. In fact no human ever went into space they were just beamed into Romania.
