Everyone knows that the earth is a tetrahedron. We all talk about the 4 corners of the earth and only a tetrahedron has that. Those who believe it's flat are technically correct because it has 4 equal sides, each being a perfect equilateral triangle.

It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.
theres people that actually believe that. google some of their schit. they can be very convincing. i personally think the earth is square but then again i grew up in the 70's.
Now there's more NBA brutha's defending Irving and turning it to a full blown fiasco.
Quote
Of course LeBron James would defend Kyrie Irving, he’s his teammate, but what about any opponents on hand at All-Star weekend? If you had to pick one NBA All-Star to align himself, however slightly, with Kyrie Irving’s assertion that the idea that the planet Earth is round is “a façade,” it would probably be Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green
I've seen Flat Earth ideas getting more popular lately. There are some compelling Youtubes. What I've found is that this is now being coupled with a belief in Christianity and a wide-ranging conspiracy theory about how the "Truth" is being kept from us by the New World Order.
Yeah, I know. Don't get me started.
Let me give you the gist of what's going on:
1) The United Nations logo proves the New World Order knows the Earth is flat. That's really how the earth looks. Cold in the middle (North Pole) Temperate in the middle and cold again at the edges (South Pole).
2) Ships disappearing over the horizon are an optical illusion. You need a zoom lens to see the truth. They then show mirages of tankers hanging in mid-air.
3) Since you can occasionally can see the skyline of Chicago from the west coast of Michigan, that means the Planet is flat. Nevermind that you need a temperature inversion in the intervening atmosphere to make it happen.
Flat Earth is a lot like Creationism. The idea is that because things weren't mentioned in the Bible or that scientific belief is contradicted in the Bible, it must be false. The idea of a round Earth, therefore, is the workings of the Devil and Devil worshippers in the New World Order.
I had a close friend who was deeply into this. I did my best to refute the Youtube videos and also offered to repeat some of the early experiments that indicated the world was round. I'm fairly convinced he did not change his mind, but he gave up haranguing me.
What I find most disturbing about the Flat Earth purveyors is that it is obvious from the Youtubes alone that these people don't believe the crap themselves. The videos are put together with deliberately deceptive arguments. This is similar to what the Vatican was doing 500 years ago. Columbus didn't prove the Earth was round. That was already pretty settled fact. The Greeks knew it. A flat Earth was just a more convenient way to take money from the dumb peasants.
How is this done? Stand up in your pulpit on Sunday and tell everyone the Earth is flat and lay the whole Aristotelian Model on them, and then let them know the truth is being obscured by Evil. It's being taught in Universities, it's being included in government-approved textbooks. It's being pushed down their throats by Devil worshippers. NASA is a fake. Astronomers, physicists and all intellectuals are minions of Satan. Only you and the Church you represent are holding off the Evil. Then stick your hand out and ask for money.
These are the kind of people that young sports idiots look up to, wear jerseys with their name on them and "want to be like"!! Stupid will always be stupid whether you swing from a hoop or a vine !!!!!!!
After Jefferson and Frye agreed the Earth is a sphere, because they are sane human beings, Irving said, “The Earth is flat,” and then repeated it three times. Insinuating that much of our education is a farce that needs to be independently researched on the internet, Irving launched into a series of truly amazing diatribes, all of which were interrupted by Jefferson or Frye before he could finish his point.
What would you expect from a porch monkey who spent more time on a basket ball court than in a classroom.. Their all just trained apes for someones amusement..
Speak softly and use a big bore... Where's El Cid when we need him...
Never understood why any intelligent person paid any attention to basketball players. Black guys with defective pituitary glands dancing around in underwear. What's the attraction?
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

Columbus believed the earth was round from reading the Bible. From the Bible:
Isaiah 40:22
"He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in."
Job 26:10
"He has inscribed a circle on the surface of the waters at the boundary of light and darkness."
"Only Christ is the fullness of God's revelation." Everyday Hunter

Not to worry Ringman, you're still ours.
