Conspiracy vs. Science: A Survey of U.S. Public Beliefs

In this brief, author Lawrence Hamilton reports the results of a nationwide U.S. survey that asked respondents whether they agreed, disagreed, or were unsure about a series of statements that mixed pseudo-science conspiracy claims with well-established scientific facts.

Notice that even 80% of Trump supporters are sure the world is round. Which is very encouraging.

I only have one semester of college and of course I know the earth is round, because it is. To think otherwise is just foolish.

Also, I support Harris.

Ruth was taught wrong.

In modern times, in what they call pre-school.
One of the very first things, on the very first day, that the teacher will be instructed to do is have the class see and touch a globe.

Did you attend pre-school? Do you remember seeing and touching a globe on the first day? I do.

Yes, but I soon learn't how deceptive it was.

Not in pre-school, no. I didn't attend pre-school. I don't remember seeing a globe in infants school either (5-7 years old). I seem to remember seeing one in junior school (7-11 years old), but as it fitted with actual observation, I don't think it was to beguile or deceive. For example when I was 8, my parents took me and my two brothers on holiday to the Netherlands. We sailed there. We couldn't see the Netherlands from England, but as we got closer, we could see it, exactly as one would expect on a globe.

Thanks for contributing ozso but what i'm trying to find out is why were our parents generation taught that the earth was flat and yet our generation was taught that the earth was round.

What happened during that short space of time for the Gov to change it's view to now teach round earth.

With what I have so far , it doesn't appear to show any cult , maybe just odd ball teachers , I don't know.
Will wait for further results.

Well what if the results show that the majority of the people asked said they learnt flat earth in school , wouldn't you be curious , wouldn't you want to know why?

There is one teacher, who does not lie, ever.

Man lies every day - it is taught to them, and practically (they say) required of them to lie even after they learn it is a lie.

There is one teacher, who does not lie, ever.

And it is him who I will believe forever.

We do not live on a spinning ball.

Who do you think is the "one teacher who does not lie ever? I imagine you believe as I do, that it is Jesus Christ, the perfect God/Man. Perhaps you could enlighten me, if that is the case. Where do we read of Jesus teaching that we do not live on a spinning ball?

His words all through out the Bible.

 

[David Lamb]

His words all through out the Bible.

His words through the whole bible? Here are some of His words from the bible:

"Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” (Mt 4:19 NKJV)

““For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (Joh 3:16 NKJV)

““Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Mt 11:28 NKJV)

No mention there of the shape of the earth, or whether it rotates on its axis. So it clearly isn't all the words of Jesus recorded in the bible. I can't think of one verse where He mentions the earth's shape, or whether it rotates. You say He does, so just provide one example. Obviously if Jesus really said that the earth is a flat disc and that it does not rotate, I would believe it, but I am 99.9% certain that He didn't even mention such things.

Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?” 58“Truly, truly, I tell you,” Jesus declared, “before Abraham was born, I am!” 59At this, they picked up stones to throw at Him. But Jesus was hidden and went out of the temple area.… John 8:58

King James Bible
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. Rev 1:8

Jesus knew exactly what was written in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.

But where in the verses you quote does He teach that the earth is a flat disc which does not rotate? When I asked: "Where do we read of Jesus teaching that we do not live on a spinning ball?" you replied: "His words all through out the Bible." So come on, which of His words teaches the earth's shape and whether it rotates?
