 | | Russell claims that the Flat Earth theory is a fable used to impugn pre-modern civilisation, especially that of the Middle Ages in Europe. | | | There is even a Flat Earth Society in the USA, members of which regard to spherical satellite images of Earth as aberrations. | | | Charles K. Johnson ran the Flat Earth Society from his home in California until he died in 2001. |

| | Flat Earth Society - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Flat Earth Society was an organization based in England and later in Lancaster, California that advocated the belief that the Earth is not a sphere but is flat (see flat Earth). | | | Thomas Friedman uses the metaphor of a "flat earth" to describe the leveling of the world economic stage in his best-selling book, The World is Flat. | | | Currently active, however, is The Flat Earth Society Forums—a Web site collecting Flat Earth and Flat Earth Society information in an attempt to reestablish the organization. |

| | The Flat Earth Myth by Thomas E. Woods, Jr. |
| | The crime of the alleged believers in a flat earth was that they adopted a position on a matter of fact that was entirely contrary to the available evidence. | | | The idea of the flat earth, he said, was the dominant one in Europe until the time of Columbus. | | | Most encyclopedias and reference works have mercifully deleted references to the flat earth from their discussions of Columbus, though they occasionally pop up even now, long after there could be any excuse for continuing to believe it. |

| | When he condemned the geocentric opponents of the heliocentric system as being as wrongheaded as those who once asserted that Earth was flat, he could cite only the one flat-earther that he knew of. | | | Despite the evidence that extremely few educated medieval people thought Earth was flat, the Flat Error continues to be widespread and repeated in grade schools and popularized accounts based on biased and outdated sources. | | | Jerusalem sometimes appears at the center of these maps, leading historians to falsely assume that medieval people believed that Earth was a flat disk centered on lerusalem. |

| | The Myth of the Flat Earth / Compiled by Norman Swartz |
| | Cosmas Indicopleustes wrote a book called "Christian Topography" in which he claimed the earth is flat. | | | He does not appear to have believed that the Earth was flat, however. | | | Even the view that the earth is at the center of the universe was argued for, not just assumed. |

| | The Myth of the Flat Earth |
| | According to Jeffrey Burton Russell here, the invention of the flat Earth myth can be laid at the feet of Washington Irving, who included it in his historical novel on Columbus, and the wider idea that the everyone in the Middle Ages was deluded has been widely accepted ever since. | | | The idea that the uncouth people of the Middle Ages thought the Earth was flat is an example of the myth that has been propagated since the nineteenth century to give us a quite unfair view of this vibrant and exciting period. | | | What can be stated categorically was that a flat Earth was at no time ever an element of Christian doctrine and that no one was ever persecuted or pressurised into believing it. |

| | Who invented the flat Earth? |
| | Its theme was the victory of a lone believer in a spherical Earth over a united front of Bible-quoting, superstitious ignoramuses, convinced the Earth was flat. | | | But neither history nor modern scholarship supports the claim that Christians ever widely believed that the Earth was flat. | | | Evolutionists often falsely accuse creationists of believing in a flat Earth. |

| | Imagine the feelings of a child whose family believes in a flat Earth and has to hear that some of their most precious beliefs are ignored, or worse, derided. | | | This summer marks the 20th anniversary of the Flat Earth Society's founding, and I'm sorry to say that the media have largely ignored our organization and its contribution to contemporary thinking and the quality of life. | | | From most science teachers' point of view, a flat Earth is no more ridiculous than a magical account of creation with floods and miraculous creation from ribs and stuff. |

| | We need to identify these people as members of "The New Flat Earth Society" because a flat earth is the only earth that has the potential to allow the human population to grow forever. | | | There was a time, long ago, when people thought that the Earth was flat, but now for several centuries people have believed that the Earth is round. | | | Today, many people believe that the resources of the Earth and of the human intellect are so enormous that population growth can continue and that there is no danger that we will ever run out of anything. |

| | The medievals didn’t believe in a flat earth; the Galileo affair was a beat-up; and missionaries were great scientists. | | | The idea that Christopher Columbus had to defy Catholic flat-earthers to embark on his voyage of discovery has had wide currency. | | | But as historian Jeffrey Burton Russell has shown in his book Inventing the Flat Earth, the real error “is not the alleged medieval belief that the earth was flat, but rather the modern error that such a belief ever prevailed.” Virtually all educated Christians during the high Middle Ages knew that the earth was round. |

| | Certainly, if the earth were flat, standing atop "an exceedingly high mountain" would allow Jesus to see the whole earth, but there is no mountain tall enough to allow him to see the other side of a spherical earth. | | | Other evidence that the Bible teaches that the earth is flat is found in the following passages. | | | Furthermore, there exists a simple interpretation of "circle of the earth" which does not imply a spherical earth. |
