The late Robert Schadewald made this point conclusively in “ The Flat-Earth Bible,” an article posted on the Web back in 1995. And there is a wide range of scriptural passages to prove it. And yet, the Bible itself reflects a radically different view of the cosmos, one shared by the ancient Egyptians and Babylonians, in which the earth is both stationary and flat. Such was the Ptolemaic system, which had dominated Western views for more than a millennium. Most pointedly, there are at least two passages in which a single point is visible to the whole world (Daniel 4:10-11 and Revelation 1:7), and one (Matthew 4:8) in which the whole world can be seen from a single point - an obvious impossibility unless the earth is flat.Īlthough the Catholic Church had forced Galileo to recant his work questioning the immobile earth in 1632 - and only pardoned him in 1992 - they did so in part because they were certain the earth was a globe: a globe around which the sun, moon and all other heavenly bodies revolved.

To me, that would be the ultimate motivation. The bigger picture many of us have come to believe is hiding God. You see, the real motivation behind this is that they want to hide God from us. The event in North Carolina held talks, film premieres and topics of discussion, including ‘Flat Earth with the Scientific Method’ and ‘Waking up to Mainstream Science Lies’.įilmmaker and Flat Earther Rob Skiba held a talk called ‘Testing the Globe’, where he revealed why NASA and the governments of the world are so keen to perpetuate the 'myth' that the Earth is round. Flat Earthers – those people who believe our planet is flat and Nasa is nothing more than a government conspiracy machine – convened this week for the Flat Earth International Conference.
