It certainly isn't a well-rounded hypothesis.

OP Title: It's very very funny.

But it says that's the format in 50 books.

Are you saying 50 books are wrong?

and to sharpen that up a bit, as an Atheist Forum, to a significant degree our regard or disregard for flateartherism is irrelevant.  The Biblical flat earth is yet one more thing the Christians need to prove here to support their case for an Eternal and Unchanging Abrahamic God.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

That a thread about it doesn't belong in 'General Science.' Moving to pseudoscience.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
