Shaquille O’Neal says the Earth is flat, we’ve been lied to and he doesn’t care if you disagree
Bizpac Review ^ | March 20, 2017 | Samantha Chang

Shaq, a college graduate, defended Kyrie, saying: “It’s true. The Earth is flat. Listen, I drive from coast to coast, and this sh*t is flat to me. You mean to tell me that China is under us? It’s not. The world is flat.”

One of Shaq’s podcast co-hosts refuted his assertion by saying, “We’ve seen the Earth from satellite imagery.”

Shaq replied by saying that could be manipulated. To buttress his statement, Shaq pointed to the inaccuracies taught in school, such as the theory that Christopher Columbus had discovered America.

If the earth is flat, how can someone sail around the world without falling off?

At one time, a flat Earth at the center of the universe was “settled science”.

Maybe he's taken too many shots to the head by a basketball....

Or he's goofing on the fools who take such things seriously.

Well, conservatives can fall for it too, but it is the liberal MO.

Yep, curves right back on itself giving the appearance that it’s round or flat or something.

You have to get really high up to see the curvature and nobody has time for that.

Sure they do.
high altitude balloon
Be sure to get one that isn't using a fish eye lens.

Sunrise high altitude balloon to the edge of space over Texas
And it came down and was recovered locally 2.5 hours later.

Think about that for a bit.

Professor O’Neal has convinced me too. So glad to finally see the truth.

How thick is this flat earth? As thick as Shaq’s skull?

You’d have to ask the flat earthers the answer to that question. However, I think their basic story would be the earth is like a saucer with an icy outer rim (Antartica) so there’s no way to fall off. If you look at some old vintage maps that basically the way the earth was depicted.

Well, maybe he can see the horizon is not curved from his vantage point...

I don’t blame him for this. There was a day we trusted people to tell us what was fact and what was not. Even the fridge lies to us, tells us we need a new water filter, when in reality its just a light on on a timer.

We’ve all been lied to so much, we don’t believe much of anything any more.

That shaq hasn’t flown to Europe over the Pole and looked out the window in the back of the aircraft in the aft galley and actually seen the earth curve is another matter.

I like the man. He’s a reserve Sherriff, and he’s done real, permanent good in youth outreach.

I understand the notion Shaq is having, and I’m not justifying his position. If he looked at the math, or had heard of Eratosthanes, he’d have a different position on it, probably.

There are folks trying to use the Bible as a science text. I don’t think that’s necessarily wrong either, but we humans have to adhere to the scientific method, because most of us can’t hold up a rod and keep the sun from going down. I believe it happened as the Bible said it did.

I also can’t figure out how everything on earth didn’t keep on travelling as the earth underneath it stopped.

Those space videos are all fake, so the story goes...

I guess they think they just make them all in a studio in Pasadena or CGI them at the Skywalker Ranch.

No, you see, the oceans are ringed with giant mountains of ice, that’s why you can’t fall off.

*THIS IS WHAT FLAT EARTHERS ACTUALLY BELIEVE*

Plenty of people right here on FR believe in “crisis actor” theories. Just check out threads on the Newtown shooting, or the Comet Pizza shooting incident.

If it’s flat, Trump could see Russia from atop Trump tower.

You should read Genesis 1, 5 and 11 for yourself. You can decide what to believe, but the Genesis timelin of human history from Adam to Abraham is plain, and does not need Ushers chronology. determine the time of Abraham, and you get the Genesis age, about 6000 years ago.
