Has the education system really failed to this extent? They are having conferences, how is it possible that this nonsense is growing?
When I first heard of The Flat Earth Society I really thought it was a spoof.
Any thoughts?

You can recognize just how many of them are bible literalists by they near constant use of the word "firmament", a word that is seldom seen outside the bible.
I think the real failure is in the government having ever allow private christian education at all let alone funding it.

I agree, religion is a business and I wish the government would treat it as such. A girl can dream...
The only thing they have to fear is sphere itself.

I saw clips of the Bill Nye The Science Guy special. They think the Ice Age was 4,000 years ago and that the Ark housed dinosaurs. I was just gob-smacked. What gets me is the kids are falling for it even in the age of the World Wide Web. Some things seem to be going backward.
