The Flat Earth Conspiracy

[The Doc]

The earth is not round. Shills.

 

[DGM]

I'm still trying to figure out how it's a conspiracy. Who are the conspirators?

 

[Alareth]

I blame a 400+ year period of ignorance and religious domination of Europe by the Catholic Church.

Honestly, how advanced would we be if the "Dark Ages" hadn't happened?

That setback to science and knowledge is one of the greatest tragedies ever inflicted upon mankind and crap like Flat Earth belivers comes directly from myths and lies circulated during that time period.

All the governments of the world.

From the Flat Earth FAQ:

Q: "Why do the all the world Governments say the Earth is round?"

A: It's a conspiracy

Q: "What about NASA? Don't they have photos to prove that the Earth is round?"

A: NASA is part of the conspiracy too. The photos are faked.

Q: "Why has no-one taken a photo of the Earth that proves it is flat?"

A: The government prevents people from getting close enough to the Ice Wall to take a picture.

Q: "How did NASA create these images with the computer technology available at the time?"

A: Since NASA did not send rockets into space, they instead spent the money on developing advanced computers and imaging software instead

PLEASE NOTE This means that pictures confirming the roundness or flatness of the Earth DO NOT IN THEMSELVES CONSTITUTE VALID PROOF

Q: "What is the motive behind this conspiracy?"

A: The motive is unknown although it is probably money

Q: "If you're not sure about the motive, why do you say there is a conspiracy?"

A: Well it's quite simple really; if the earth is in fact flat, then the governments must be lying when they say it isn't.

Q: "The government could not pull off the conspiracy successfully"

A: Actually, they could.

Q: "How are the world governments organized enough to carry out this conspiracy?"

A: They only appear to be disorganized to make the conspiracy seem implausible.

Q: Why hasn’t this site been shut down by the government?

A: Doing so would prove that the government is hiding something.

Q: No way could the government possibly guard the entire Ice Wall! It would take too many men! Millions of men!

A: Not really. You could do it with a few hundred and some basic equipment.

Q: Why is NASA’s space shuttle runway curved?

A: It was specially constructed by NASA to be so. After all NASA are at the heart of the conspiracy.

What part of "the Church´s official cosmology was Aristotle´s, in which not only the Earth but everything else were perfect spheres" you don´t agree with?
