Cavaliers Star Kyrie Irving Says Earth Is Flat and Everyone’s Lying
New York Post ^ | February 17, 2017 | Ryan Lazo

Maybe Kyrie Irving would have benefited from a few more years of that pricey Duke education.

The Cavaliers point guard, who has established himself as one of the premier players in the NBA, caused a stir by saying he believes the earth is flat, not round, while participating on the podcast “Road Tripping with RJ and Channing.”

“This is not even a conspiracy theory,” Kyrie said. “The earth is flat.”

Interesting viewpoint.

The same Bible verse I quoted also indicates the universe’s expansion outwards, which Edwin Hubble observed when he saw the red shift of stellar light. That destroyed the atheistic notion of a steady-state universe that always existed.

“I’m not going to lie”

seems to be the latest interjection in sports interviews.

I doubt if Mr. Mensa knows how GPS works. www.gpsdeclassified.com is the website for my book on GPS.

Kind of like how “keeping it real” means “posing for a picture”

But if Earth is flat it could tip over! Forget global warming agencies. We need global relocation agencies to keep high-density populations away from the edge, so we don’t tip over.

As a member of an NBA team this guy presumably flies fairly often. If a plane reaches an altitude of 35k feet or higher and you have a clear wide view of the horizon the curvature of the earth can be seen. The ancient Greeks simply by observing ships on the horizon came to the conclusion that the world was curved.

Or the earth is a round disk, or it is a square... there actually is no definitive description of the earth as a sphere in the Bible. The Flat Earth Society recognizes this.

The horizon is curved because the edge of a circle is always curved. When you fly, you just get a higher view of the curved edges of the circular earth.

Did you read the Bible verse I quoted? The Hebrew word chug (translated “circle” in most translations except for the ISV, which renders it “disk”; the Douay version renders it “globe”) can and does refer to a sphere.

“Looks like no one is gonna challenge Mr. Mensa... “

Why bother? It would be a yuge waste of time.

There are folks on this very forum, longtime FReepers, who hold with this belief.

Obama should never have brought it up. I wouldn't have started looking into it otherwise.

When you can explain to me how things that should be impossible are possible then you'll bring me back to believing we live on a ball.

Tell me not to believe what I see with my own eyes.
