Support for the Flat Earth movement has been exploding in popularity, with millions believing NASA is trying to dupe us about the shape of our planet.
Google Trends data reveals searches for “flat earth” in the past two years have tripled, with a 90 percent surge in interest in the cranky conspiracy theory.
High-profile celebrity endorsements have helped grow a community of people who reject “globehead” thinking and insist that the world is in fact flat.
Those coming out about their belief include NBA player Kyrie Irving, who said in a podcast that he believed the Earth is not the globe we thought it was.

Other celeb “flat-earthers” include Tila Tequila and cricket star Freddy Flintoff.
Outrageous stunts “proving” Earth is not a sphere have also been championing the cause.
Californian “Mad” Mike Hughes has built himself a homemade rocket out of scrap metal with the intention of seeing for himself the shape of terra firma.

Where’s the drip kick edge?
Isaiah 40:22 KJV:
...” It is he that sitteth upon the ‘circle’ of the earth”....
Glad to see such intellects as rapper “B.o.B” chiming in on the discussion.
An inevitable consequence of the half century of MSM media malpractice, no one believes anything anymore...

Meanwhile, a group in Kansas is trying to promote the Flat State theory.
The world is round, but hollow, with a sun at the center. That’s where the flying saucers come from.
Sounds like somebody has made another bet they can start another religion.
Anybody remember when the popularity rise started with bottled water? Evian. Evian spelled backwards is Naive.
And yet none of these crack pots can give a credible explanation of how it can be day in Europe while night in the U.S.
“(At 35,000 feet you can see the curvature or the Earth.)”
