Creationism, Flat Earth Society, and...

Could it be that God is not something that was, but rather something that is to be?

Frequently asked questions about the Flat Earth paradigm and related phenomena.

1. What is the Earth's shape?

The Earth is flat. It is shaped in the form of a pentagon, and thus has five corners.

2. What is the "middle corner"?

If one was to draw a line from each corner to the centre of the opposing side of the Earth, the line would intersect in the middle of the Flat Earth. This place is known as the Middle Corner.

3. Hey, wait a minute, that is not a real corner...

So? The equator of the spherical earthers is an imaginary line as well. Does this mean that their model does not have a northern and a southern hemisphere? You cannot count in imaginary numbers, but does that mean that they do not exist?

4. What about the northern and southern hemisphere?

Globularist rot. This implies the Earth being a SPHERE, which it is not. The Earth has, however, an Inner and Outer Ring.

Oh, and this

The original flat earth was confined, restricted, and twisted into a perverse spherical shape by a conspiracy of TELEVISION BROADCASTERS in an attempt to realize their dream of TOTAL HUMAN MIND CONTROL through subsurviant captive homogonized market share.

Not to be outdone

DINOSAURS - Every natural history museum in the world today displays large dinosaur models. Their defensive teeth, spikes and claws are often shown extended. As evidence of the prior existence of these kinds of creatures we have a myriad of bones found on multiple continents, footprints buried in sedimentary layers and ... legends. All over the world people remember the dangerous dragons of old. But they slowly went extinct. Men feared and hated them. Stories of ancient encounters with dinosaurs/dragons are found in China, Thailand, including other parts of Asia, and in Roman, Russian, Germanic, Anglo-Saxon, North, South, and Central America, and across Africa too. Are we so much smarter and more academically inclined than all of our ancestors that we should reject all of their historical records - just to prop up temporary evolutionary theory?

Carbon-14 dating of carbon buried in the same layer with dragon bones helps to confirm that they are really only thousands of years old. The myth-ions and myth-ions of years never happened; only in the past 200 years has it become fashionable to forget our true ancient history (of thousands of years) in favor of God-hating (or: "bumbling-inherently-weak-god") evolution. Evolution requires the belief in long epochs of supposed time and chance improvements.

The link takes one to a Eugenics society. That would be an interesting read. Expensive, difficult, and very time consuming, but it's going to come up one way or another. In fact, it might be a necessary defensive measure against the very very wealthy: you can get very very smart on the cheap: IF you are poor AND you have good genes, you could do very very well joining up with others of like minds and bodies.

Unfortunately (or fortunately) there is something called regression to the mean. Our culture over plays the importance of genetics. If only the smart ones would bread. Well if only the smart ones were to breed then in many many generations we would have a group of people who... look very much like the ones we have today. That's because genetic traits tend toward the mean. If you only bred people who were over 6'4" their off spring and their offspring’s offpsring etc would eventually repopulate the shorter height distributions. Regression to the mean shows nature to be quite democratic; one cannot have royal bloodlines with regression to the mean.

"Regression is also valuable for indicators. If Joe has an I.Q. of 130, your best guess for his daughter's IQ, if you know nothing further, is 115, which is 130 averaged with 100. Oddly enough, the same thing is true in reverse: if Betsy's IQ is 130, your best guess (knowing nothing else) for her father's IQ is 115. The reason is that there are many more people with IQ of 115 than 130, and so IQ 130s tend to stand out in their families."
