Are you impervious to reason?

I gave you a few reasons why it is not a good idea, and I provided research alternatives that were superior to your proposal.

Your only response is, in essence, "uh uh, I can't hear you!"

Unless science is controlled by Religious lunatics who will dictate that science should agree with their beliefs. If not a Young Earth, why not a flat one? If they deny the evidence of Palaeontology, why not reject all the evidence for a round earth? Like a flat -earthist poster we had here not too long ago. It was an eye opener. Quite a few posters could not believe that he wasn't joking, but then some perfectly sincere but deluded Theists are taken for POE's too.

We already know what 'teach the controversy' means - we have seen it, time after time after time: teach creationist apologetics in the science -class and make "Evilooshunary" science look like a Hyena's take-away.

If that's how I came across I apologize (perhaps I was only addressing the agnostics)...carry on.

Our poster here littlewitness is such a believer.

David Smalley interviews Travis Finley, flat earther, on podcast #379 on his podcast Dogma Debate.

Bring duct tape for your head.

Pretty good show. Recommend it if you want to hear a flat earther argue and debate their side

Yes, there are quite a few earth theories floating about but I do not think people should be ridiculed into accepting someone else theories...it's okay for people to examine the evidence and draw their own conclusions and no flat/hollow earth theorist are attempting to interfere/block others from colonizing outer space.

He gets his info from several books he has and what the Bible says about the universe...There is no outer space...

Welcome to humanity Richard, and silly people. You are now officially an adult. Not sure if you can drink alcohol yet, but when you can, celebrate with a toast.
