It is not a theory but a religious belief. The belief is based on literal readings of the Bible. The claims of this belief are not founded in science at all, but in religious fundamentals.
It is not a joke, the people who believe this are dead serious (which makes it much more sad). This is just one example (albeit, a harmless one) of how religious fundamentalism can twist peoples minds to think the craziest things!
I feel far to many people are subject to teachings filled with hate and ignorance. We can only do our best to try and teach knowledge and tolerance.
Not all religion is bad, a lot is very good. But the Flat Earth Society just takes religious stupidity to the extreme.
What else can I help you with?
what theory says the earth is a flat shape?
In the bible, it says the Earth is Flat, so it is Flat. If God created the Earth and Jesus wrote the bible, the Earth is Flat
Who is the scientists responsible for the flat earth theory?
There is no legitimate scientist responsible for promoting the flat earth theory. The idea of a flat earth has been widely discredited by centuries of scientific evidence and research.
Flat earth theory do the stars move?
Yes
What are the different theories about the shape of the earth?
The main theories about the shape of the Earth are the spherical Earth theory, which posits that the Earth is a sphere, and the flat Earth theory, which incorrectly suggests that the Earth is flat. The spherical Earth theory is supported by scientific evidence such as images of the Earth from space and the way ships disappear over the horizon.
What is the date of the Flat Earth Theory?
No one really knows... =(
Why do people think think the earth is flat?
Flat earth believers are almost exclusively motivated by religion or by conspiracy theory beliefs.
When was the earth's surface completely flat?
Never. It was just a theory that was varafied wrong.
What scientist were involved in the flat earth theory?
No actual scientist has ever been involved in any flat earth hypothesis.There isn't enough evidence to call it a theory. In fact there is zero evidence.Believers are almost exclusively motivated by religious reasons or by conspiracy theory beliefs.
Who is theory was that the earth is round not flat?
Since the determination of the fact that Earth is spherical as opposed to flat, all scientists (after a short lag period) have accepted that it is so.
Does the Flat Earth Theory have any scientific merit?
The Flat Earth Theory lacks scientific merit as it contradicts a vast body of evidence from multiple fields, including astronomy, physics, and geology. Observations such as the curvature of the Earth from high altitudes, the way ships disappear hull-first over the horizon, and satellite imagery all support a spherical Earth. Additionally, the principles of gravity and the behavior of celestial bodies are consistent with a round Earth model. Therefore, the Flat Earth Theory is not supported by credible scientific evidence.
Can a theory change over time?
yes, as more things are learned theories can be modified (theory of evolution) also sometimes theories can be thrown out (the theory that the earth is flat)
What are the different theories regarding the shape of the earth?
The main theories regarding the shape of the Earth are the oblate spheroid theory, which posits the Earth is mostly spherical but slightly flattened at the poles due to its rotation; the geoid theory, which describes the Earth as an irregular shape that approximates global mean sea level; and the flat Earth theory, a debunked belief that the Earth is flat and not a sphere.
