        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.

          Do you suppose any of these nitwits have ever been in an airplane at 35,000 feet?

            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.

              Save the Earth, it's the only planet with chocolate.

                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…!

                        Yet across an immense ethereal gulf, minds that to our minds as ours are to the beasts in the jungle, intellects vast, cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes and slowly and surely drew their plans against us . .. orson welles, 1938

                                  AHA! The Roumanians are the "Grays" Durant has been warning us about, aren't they?

                                    talking about the world being round,
                                    did you know that if you increase just 1 meter the length of his circle you obtain a new circle that puting it concentrically is separated from the first 16cm ?
                                    incredible but mathematically truth.

                                        Mr. W. Durant was impressed by some Roumanians like Decebalus per Scorilo and N. Ceausescu from Scornilo and wrote “The Story of Civilization”..., but, perhaps his ‘passion’ was Nadia Comaneci (a 'star'). So, we can ‘decipher’ inclusiv his “The Story of Philosophy”, isn’t it!?

                                        J.V.S.,
                                        Attracting...! 16cm are enough for a cat... to be free.
