In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue. By sailing from Spain to the Americas, this storied man paved the way for others, claiming to be men of science, to dupe the human race into believing the world is round. This sensory defying statement, which is pushed into our brains from the moment we’re born, was just the start of a worldwide conspiracy by government agencies to steal power away from the church and God’s Word.

It’s difficult to believe that there are people that continue to believe the world is flat but, as luck may have it, I’ve had the opportunity to debate core beliefs with a man who asserts the world is just as flat today as it was when it was created 7,000 years ago. Although I only have a degree in computer science and have studied both the Earth and the Universe in great detail, the Flat-Earther felt obligated to disembowel every core scientific belief I hold dear.

To the man’s credit, he did choose to discuss the topic with someone who has an open mind and is willing to question ideas long-since held to be undeniable. Some may say this is the sign of a sucker. Perhaps they’re right.

The devout man, let’s call him Kenji, went on to educate me about how the world and universe around us actually operate.

24,900 km

This is the diameter of the Earth. And, while the Earth is said to be flat, this is really just a relative observation. Geological phenomena like hills, mountains and valleys clearly prove the world is not completely flat. Instead, the Earth is more of a disc. The North Pole is the center of this circular world. Antarctica is the frozen edge; its solidity ensures the oceans don’t pour over the edge, falling into infinity.

What about all those adventurers who have circumnavigated the globe? Kenji tells me they took a long circular route.

What about the mathematics of Aristotle, Eratosthenes, and Bede? Kenji says they’re wrong.

What about the moon landing, the recent Martian expeditions, the Hubble Space Telescope, the International Space Station and the infamous picture taken from 1969, lovingly entitled ‘Earthrise‘? Fabrications.

Are black holes, quasars, extra-solar planets, galaxies, dark matter observations, gaseous nebulae, gravity, and highly elliptical orbits also fabrications?

Kenji just nodded and looked to be ready to deliver some grand wisdom, but my disbelief was just too great. I can explain, in excruciating detail, how gravity, black holes and quasars work. I can list off a thousand proven reasons that explain various phenomena on and off the planet. I can also accurately predict the effect of an action on a given object in various environs, all without the use of a computer. I’m no genius, but I know science. Has everything I’ve learned been nothing more than a grotesque ruse, perpetrated by the NWO and other shadow government organizations?

Kenji Speaks

The ‘science’ they teach in school is nothing more than science fiction. It’s no different than learning everything about Star Trek and saying the whole thing is fact. Have you been to Mars to confirm the machines are there? Have you seen the International Space Station with your own eyes? Have you witnessed a black hole, or anything else you think you know about space? You put so much faith in what other people tell you, yet you deny what your own senses tell you.

Where is the American flag Neil Armstrong claims to have planted on the moon? How can scientists understand things they can’t see or touch? How could something as massive as the dinosaurs be made extinct?

Show me the spot where humans first walked on the moon. Show me a black hole or a planet. Show me a real dinosaur. Until then, anything you say is just your denial of God’s Wisdom.

Ah … God’s Wisdom.  How could I have been so blind!

Clearly the Bible is complete and true.  It says so right at the end of Revelations.  Nowhere does it talk about black holes, atoms, photons or even the Higgs Boson that the researchers at CERN are working so hard to find!  I’ve read several variations of the bible through and through over the years, and had deep discussions with theological scholars while training to become a priest back in my youth.  Never have they said that the world was round.  Never have they said that man should traverse the heavens.  Nowhere does it say anything that I’ve learned over the last two decades, aside from the lessons about humility (which I seem to have forgotten) contained in the New Testament.

Kenji and I spoke for well over an hour about this obvious truth and, at the end of it all, only one thought crossed my mind: Global conspiracies aren’t happening in the world.  They’re happening in our heads.
