It's quite a convincing argument, I think I will now become a flat earther - for an hour or so

It is unfortunate that people still believe this idea.

But, nonetheless, it gave me a chuckle!

Hey, this is a matter of attitude.

You may laugh based on common sense. But if you explored how to define "flat" in topology, I don't think you will laugh any more.

They're fighting for the Stupidity Award, right-up against the die-hard Creotards (like Kent Hovind and Ben Stein)

Oh yea, and Bush.

So guys, do I use fire or acid. I don't want him to regenerate.

By the way, for the sake of my sanity, I refuse to believe there are serious flat-Earthers out there. That issue was settled thousands of years ago.

Is a saving throw for half damage still rolled?

Are you kidding? Every creationist secretly craves for flat-earthism to become accepted; all in the hope that it will drive the last nail into science's coffin!

They must have the brains of jellyfish (jellyfish lack brains)

Creationists = Flat-earthers = Flatliners

Oh, please. That's about as retarded as "Every atheist secretly believes in God."

The Flat Earth Society




Mission Statement

For centuries, mankind knew all there was to know about the shape of the Earth. It was a flat planet, shaped roughly like a circle, with lots of pointy things hanging down from the underside. On the comparatively smooth topside, Europe sat in the middle of the circle, with the other continents scattered about the fringes, and parts of Africa hanging over the edge. The oceans lapped against the sides of the Earth, and in places ran over, creating currents that would pull over the edge ships that ventured too far out to sea. The space beyond the edge of the world was a dark realm inhabited by all sorts of unholy beasts. Fire and brimstone billowed up from the very depths of hell itself and curled 'round the cliffs whose infinite length jutted straight down to the darkest depths . . . .
Then, in the year of our Lord fourteen-hundred and ninety-two, it all changed. For decades a small band of self-proclaimed "enlightened" individuals had been spouting their heretical nonsense that the Earth was in fact round. Citing "proof" based on nothing more than assumptions, half-truths and blind guesses, they dazzled the populace with their " . . . undeniable mathematical and scientific evidence . . . that the world is shaped not like a pancake, but an orange!"
Rightly wishing to dispel notions regarding the alleged citrus-like shape of our planet, the Church was able to either silence or execute nearly all the fanatics. But a small handful remained, continuing to spread their blasphemous speeches and to promote their heretical ideals involving the very center of the universe. One of their number, who called himself Grigori Efimovich, would later be known to the rest of the world as Christopher Columbus. Using an elaborate setup involving hundreds of mirrors and a few burlap sacks, he was able to create an illusion so convincing that it was actually believed he had sailed around the entire planet and landed in the West Indies. As we now know, he did not. What Efimovich actually did was sail across the Atlantic Ocean to a previously undiscovered continent, North America, and even then only to a small island off the coast. It took him several years more even to "discover" his blunder and claim it as a " . . . new world". But the damage had already been done, and mankind entered into what we now call its "Dark Ages" . . . .


Enter the Flat Earth Society. For over five hundred years humanity has believed the "round Earth" teachings of Efimovich and his followers. But all hope is not lost. For through all that time, a small but diligent band of individuals have preserved the knowledge of our planet's true shape. And now, after centuries in the Dark Ages, we believe that mankind as a whole is once again ready to embrace the truth that has forever been the Flat Earth Society. Using whatever means are deemed necessary and relying heavily on a callous disregard for the lives and well-being of our members, we have slowly but steadily been spreading the news.

But why? Why do we say the Earth is flat, when the vast majority says otherwise? Because we know the truth.

These guy's are nearly as stupid as creationists

pouble dost

 

[Cabal]

Oh my word, the physics on that site are so laughably wrong.

These guys make creation scientists look smart.

Edit: Grigori Efimovich were Rasputin's other names.....out by several centuries there methinks....

Depends on there Agility.

What are you using. Most everything I know of has Dex.

Chordates i'm pretty sure that's all parody.

From the itty bitty text at the bottom of the page..

The Flat Earth Society is not in any way responsible for the failure of the French to repel the Germans at the Maginot Line during WWII. Nor is the Flat Earth Society responsible for the recent yeti sightings outside the Vatican, or for the unfortunate enslavement of the Nabisco Inc. factory employees by a rogue hamster insurrectionist group. Furthermore, we are not responsible for the loss of one or more of the following, which may possibly occur as the result of exposing one's self to the dogmatic and dangerously subversive statements made within: life, limb, vision, Francois Mitterand, hearing, taste, smell, touch, thumb, Aunt Mildred, citizenship, spleen, bedrock, cloves, I Love Lucy reruns, toaster, pine derby racer, toy duck, antelope, horseradish, prosthetic ankle, double-cheeseburger, tin foil, limestone, watermelon-scented air freshner, sanity, paprika, German to Pig Latin dictionary, dish towel, pet Chihuahua, pogo stick, Golf Digest subscription, floor tile, upper torso or halibut.

You are probably right, but you never know these days, i mean, look at what creationist believe.

I have rather enjoyed FSTDT .com and I am beginning to wonder if there's just some athiests out there that are looking to get some laughs out of people by pretending to be religious and posting because so much of what I hear out of theist's mouths is utterly rediculous.

I have opened a new post challenging theists to present anything that they do not believe can be explained by science but can be explained by God (it is in the debate section). So far no takers.

I am a biology student and my area of research involves investigating ways to extend human life, and I often wonder if theists are worth bringing along for the ride. Technically any therapies that are developed would be based on science that virtually all fundamentalists wholeheartedly reject. Why, then, should they be subject to the benefit of life extension therapies (or any new medical technology for that matter)? Of course, I think when life extension becomes a reality everyone will flock to it. Those hardcore fundies that don't will simply die off anyways, so I take great pride in my work because I feel it will eventually kill theistic ignorance.

I apologize for being slightly off topic, but the stupidity of many of these people is overwhelming. I'm sure you can all relate.

Our camp isn't exactly Einsteinian either. Someone posted a very insightful and thought-inducing thread in the Ethics subforum:

Where is your proof that Jesus and/or God exist?
