INTRODUCTION
BECOMING A FLAT EARTHER

Just exactly how do you become an advocate of the flat earth theory? The
answer is:

RESEARCH FLAT EARTH

My personal experience began when I listened to an episode of Coast to
Coast AM with George Noory. Mark Sargent, author, You Tube video
personality, and flat earth advocate since 2014, was interviewed, and his flat
earth theory fascinated me. Subsequently, I ordered his book and several others,
subscribed to You Tube Red, and watched countless videos on the subject. In the
process, I drove my husband crazy with the TV on You Tube until he realized I
might be onto something. Now he is onboard with this book project. My interest
in this subject is purely secular, although I recognize that many flat earthers base
their beliefs on the Bible.
Most certainly you are living on either a spherical earth or a flat earth.
Both can be defined as “round.” As children of both the 20th and 21st centuries,
we have been taught in our society and educational institutions that we live on a
“round,” meaning spherical planet. So indoctrinated are we that the very mention
of the possibility of a flat earth invites sneers and giggling. Such a reaction is
entirely understandable. We see the spherical earth all around us: in classrooms,
in sci-fi such as Star Trek, Star Wars, and comics, such as Superman.
At the moment I am writing this, I’m sitting at a desk in a suite on the
Celebrity Infinity cruise ship. On a corner table to my right is a globe. Even on
vacation I can’t get away from the globe. (See Below)

We don’t question the globe concept because we regard it as a given. But
sometimes “givens” are questioned. Today’s paradigm may not be the paradigm
of tomorrow. You may have heard the ironic quote attributed to Charles H.
Duell, Commissioner of the US Patent Office in 1899: Everything that can be
invented has been invented.

In the everchanging environment of today’s world, we certainly snicker at that
concept.
The 19th century German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer characterized truth
as passing through three stages:
First, it is ridiculed.
Second, it is violently opposed.
Third, it is accepted as self-evident.

In other words, the paradigm of the moment is ultimately relegated to an
antiquated role in which it is viewed as the product of lesser men. Paradigm in
this instance is defined as the “world view underlying the theories and
