Quote:Flat-Earthers Just Put Up a Billboard Urging Everyone To Do Some “Research”

“We believe this is something that needs to be talked about,” Math Powerland, who purchased the billboard, said.
Powerland lives in New Mexico and is one of the founders of the Flat Plane Society, a group which believes the earth is flat. Powerland says NASA pictures and videos of the curved earth are faked.
“We believe it’s all faked. All of it is in front of CGI, augmented reality, the space walks are most part done in desalinated water tanks,” Powerland said.

Well, when I skydived I could clearly see the earth curvature. Mabe they should all go skydive, instead of paying for the billboard. It costs 150 euros with a DVD of the jump.

We should take Mr. Powerland up to Red Bull territory and kick him out. See if he lives up to his name.

Oh come on, you all know in your hearts it's flat. Go out to Kansas and look around. Flat, in every direction.
You know it's flat. You're just in denial.

They could save money and not bother with a parachute. Win-win.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Optical illusion. What you're seeing is a result of the curvature of the interior of the eye, obviously.

No you where just in the middle of a very very very big hill.

Calling it a "flat" earth is actually a bit misleading. The earth is actually a sphere, but not the way the MSM portrays it. You see, we actually inhabit the inside surface of the sphere, the sun is in the middle.

People a thousand years ago knew the earth was a sphere, what CGI did they use?
