Should geography classes give equal time to the flat-Earth theory?

I really hope that this thread is a joke and we're not arguing about whether the Earth is round or not.

Of course not. It's well established that the Earth is flat.*







*this is also a joke

Get rid of the "this is a joke" parts. It makes your joke not funny.*

You do know how long it takes the Papacy to do something, right?

@Xen: We've seen the space pics before as well as people travelled around the world. The theory is dead, my friend. Those people just want attention.

you need to click the link; its a joke site; in the FAQ, the first few things are sort of a give away; by the end of it, they just stop tryign to cover it up
hence the " " 's around the link

More evidence that the Earth is flat, it appears the Bible supports it as well!

As the story of Man's fall from the perfect flat Earth continues, Eve (the world's free markets) is tempted with a apple (spherical Earth) by a talking snake (wireless telecommunications). It would be hard to imagine a more obvious explanation of our flat world's tragic history of corrupting spherization!

Thus it is clear from an open-minded reading of the Holy Bible that the true message of Christianity, from the story of Eden, to the symbol of the cross, is that Jesus wants us to return to the idyllic world of the Flat Earth that God the Father always intended for us!

Consider then, the Christian Cross's resemblance to a pick-axe, and our duty to push forward with Operation Dateline Dig becomes all the more compelling.

Perfection, its a nice link but theres no photo evidence and as far as im concerned for this type of argument photographic evidence helps alot.

and im 14 here please explain the Galapagos island bird thing a little further.

The Galapgos Islands are very diverse in terms of resources available, i.e. food sources for finches. For example, on some islands, ants are more abundant whereas on others, nuts are. Picking an ant out of a tiny crack requires a thin, needle-like beak whereas bracking a nut requires a stronger beak of a different type. When there was only one species of finches, the different individuals had slightly different beaks, just as some humans have longer fingers or shorter feet than others. However, on the islands where ants were more abundant, the ones with slightly more needle-like beaks survived better, as they could more easily get food, and thus passed their needle-like beaks onto their children. Over time, all of the finches had needle-beaks, and their beaks became more and more needle-like as time passed, as the more needle-like it was, the easier it was to obtain food, thus making it more likely that one would survive and produce offspring. The same occurred on the island with nuts in this example but where the beaks which could open nuts easier were passed down. Of course, there were other traits too which influnced survival of the finches, and the these traits which made survival easier were passed down too, in the same fashion as the needle-like beaks. Eventually, the populations of finches became so different that they can no longer reproduce together and are thus considered separate species.

Earth is not flat, nor spherical. Even 5 years old kids know it's banana-shaped. You're all supreme ignorants.

wow, perfection that was surprisingly helpful(not being sarcastic)
most of the time when they put "here ya go" for the link it ussually insults you....huh...interesting. did you make that yourself?
ok nevermind.

Well, according to the bible there could be two explanations of the top of my head,
one. When the people of Babylon were forced to split up do to differences in languaghe the [peoples who settled in that area could have brought the birds with them or when the world was flooded birds could have been thrown off on there normal routine(north for winter south for summer) and have been confused so they flew of in random directions and eventually settled in the nearest suitable habitat.NEAREST suitable habitat.

ok, also i would like to make something clear. I may not entirly get the bird thing my english isnt so great and there were a few words i didnt know in there.

There are plenty other creationism/evolution threads. No need to try and back into one with this thread.
