Description: We have seen a renewed interest in the Flat Earth concept over the last few decades. Before the 6th century BC some cultures believed that the earth was flat, but since then many scientific discoveries have provided evidence that the earth is a sphere. Most people believed that the earth is indeed a sphere right through the Middle Ages until a British inventor and writer re-introduced the Flat Earth concept in the 19th century. We examine 1) the history of geodesy, 2) how flat earthers explain and defend their belief, 3) what the Bible teaches about the shape of the earth, 4) what scientific observations tell us, and 5) the challenges faced by those who believe in a flat earth. How do we explain this recent renewed interest in the Flat Earth concept?
