"Once again, picture in your mind a round world. Now imagine that there are two people on this world, one at each pole. For the person at the top of the world, (the North Pole), gravity is pulling him down, towards the South Pole. But for the person at the South Pole, shouldn't gravity pull him down as well? What keeps our person at the South Pole from falling completely off the face of the "globe"?"
they obviously don't know how gravity works

If it were so, it would just be science.

How do they explain the fact that the sun is at different heights at mid-day at different latitudes?

I'm actually interested in what they have to say because I'm curious about the psychology behind it.

Of course they are.

The trick's to play them at their own game.

The sun's only a few thousand miles above the disc, or something silly like that.

I seem to recall something about bendy light as one point as well. Their model's so convoluted, I'm amazed they can still play it with a straight face.

Regardless of how true it actually is, it's much funner to pretend they're serious. We get some cheap laughs and derive enjoyment out of a little bit of pretend.
So don't worry about if they're serious or not, what's important is that it's there, waiting to be examined, disected and laughed at.

I figure they do us all a service by keeping this shit around so the religious can't pretend the church never promoted this kind of stuff.

It's something else from one generation to the next. Flat earth vs. globularism, geocentrism vs. heliocentrism, demonic possession vs. germ theory, creationism vs evolution, and soon it'll be all about abiogenesis, or souls vs neurobiology, etc.

And none of the religious people in any of those generations recognized that pattern. The ones who accepted a round earth thought they were fully modern and accepting of science, but that evolution going too far. And the ones today who accept evolution are proud of it and think it makes their beliefs fully consonant with science, but deny the implications of neuroscience.

Same shit, different century.
