The Flat Earthers Are Still With Us
narcberry writes "The BBC reports on a scientific community still holding to flat earth theories. From their article: 'Are there any genuine flat-earthers left? Surely in our era of space exploration — where satellites take photos of our blue and clearly globular planet from space, and robots send back info about soil and water from Mars — no one can seriously still believe that the Earth is flat? Wrong. Flat earth theory is still around. On the internet and in small meeting rooms in Britain and the US, flat earth believers get together to challenge the 'conspiracy' that the Earth is round.'"
As humerous as that was intended to be, the Bible is a very fascinating book in that it is much more accurately reproduced over a very long period of time than most historians would expect for such a large piece of literature.
Of course, this applies to original languages -- anyone who studies the English bibles and compares them is stupid -- the Bible wasn't written in English.
