Flat Earth Society: People actually believe this!

[dude]

These people are genius. They know the truth, and what they don't tell you is that we live in "The Matrix".

The Flat Earth Society is most likely satire. They probably don't actually believe this shit.

[Insuperable]

From many different sources in the Bible, it is evident that the writers thought the earth was flat. Also, they did not fully appreciate what stars were. "The stars will fall from heaven onto the earth" and other crap. In Genesis it talks of the night sky as a "firmament" - some sort of dark fixed object onto which little stars are fixed into.

I don't know, some people argue that the word used for firmament in the Bible should be translated as "an expanse" since one of the meanings for it are "spreading out". Somewhere in the Bible the word used for firmanent is translated as an expanse and somewhere as firmament Atheists argue that where it is translated as firmament is the correct translation and then theist debunk them and than atheists debunk them and so on, a neverending circle. I know that in some translations of the Bible instead of firmament "an expanse" is used."Firmament" is used in King James Bible translation and some others.

Where the stars are referred to as objects falling from sky or something similar is I think (not sure) used only in Daniel and Revelations. The two things they have in common is that what was written there are the descriptions of their supposed visions. According to the Bible it was told to the originators of these parts to "write down what they are about to see". So according to the Bible they saw many visions and visions of various events (like Judgement day or Judgement times or something similar) and they according to their common knowledge of that time and understanding of that time wrote down what they saw. In other words it doesn't have mean that they saw stars falling from the sky, but simply something they perceived as such, it could be anything or it could be just some mumbo jumbo. In any case it all comes to believing or not.
