Re: Satirising satire
But there are no groups of scientists, or groups of anybody, that argue for a flat earth.
That's news to me. Perhaps I'm too gullible.
This site discusses the arguments for a flat earth from the Bible. It is not written by a flat-earther, but he does claim that there are such people.
Page not found | Department of History used to have a description of flat-earthers and hollow-earthers, but that site is down. I just looked.
Also www.fixedearth.com seems to be a legitimate site (well, legitimate in the sense that it doesn't seem to be satire) that argues for a fixed earth. That's not the same as a flat earth, but it does show what people will believe on the Bible's word--if I'm not being fooled. Like I said, it seems legit.
I have seen a site with an interview with the president of a flat earth society that lives out in the desert in California somewhere, like 29 Palms or somewhere near there. I can't find it now, but it had pictures and an interview, and the guy was saying he was dead serious.
I wish I could find or remember that site, but I think flat earthers do indeed exist. Wait...
I found it: http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/fe-scidi.htm. Am I just real gullible? This guy seems to be for real.

Re: Satirising satire
It appears talkorigins.org is gullible enough to believe it, too.

I think there are flat earthers out there, Sylas.

Re: Satirising satire
Heh, you repeated both of my links!
I missed your post. Bizarre. It's such a short thread, and I thought I read the first ten messages before I posted. Maybe I had a petit mal seizure or something.

Re: Satirising satire
Thanks for the info, Sylas. I was already thinking for apologizing for sounding sarcastic in one of my comments. I was actually worried about sounding like an idiot for thinking they might be real, then, after I read my post, I thought it sounded sarcastic, rather than self-conscious.
It seems there's no proof any of the flat-earthers are for real, and I realized right after I posted that saying "talkorigins folks apparently believe" was definitely too much of a generalization.
Thanks.

Re: Satirising satire
More than anything, I was curious about the contents of your second link...
You're having trouble keeping up with everything on the thread, too . I didn't mean to make it a link. This site did that automatically when I listed it, but my comment on it was "but that site is down. I just looked."
It doesn't seem to have gone anywhere else, and I can't remember what it said.
