He didn't "lean on" any "credible scholar" - he simply misinterpreted Augustine's comments on the Antipodes, because he's clueless. And the people you mention "make mistakes" because they don't know what they're talking about, but when they honk their ignorance to thousands of uncritical readers and viewers - we have a problem.
It seems to me that you are overreacting. Thing is that Augustine was crazy and his books are insane ramblings, so considering Earth to be flat is something that you would expect from this kind of person. Like if some atheist said that Ray Comfort thinks world is flat, and then some other person "debunks" it by pointing to Comfort's writings, it wouldn't matter much because Ray Comfort would still be a very crazy and wrong person. So to even go further and claim how atheists are trying to delude Christians is more ridiculous than some sort of righting of the wrongs.
So from my perspective it's *meh*.
This is a very clear statement of what other people say less directly.
For you, it isn't about telling the truth. If Amon Ra says things that are just flat wrong, it is of no concern to you.
It is about team sports. Atheists Good. Christians Crazy. Even when the atheists are spreading falsehoods. It's as simple as that.
