So I recently found out that there are literally organizations out there who still believe and promote the belief that the Earth is not a sphere, but is indeed flat.
Now obviously these people are entitled to believe what they want, but this also allows me to chance to respond to that belief. My response is that they are morons and this "belief" certainly has no place to be taught in our schools. And we thought teaching evolution in school was controversial. Imagine your kid coming home and telling you their teacher taught them that the Earth was flat.
To be fair, I don't believe everything mainstream science says either, but denying the Earth is not round is pretty friggen stupid.
