U of California Santa Barbera article on the flat earth presented to the American Scientific Affiliation Conference

The reason for promoting both the specific lie about the sphericity of the earth and the general lie that religion and science are in natural and eternal conflict in Western society, is to defend Darwinism. The answer is really only slightly more complicated than that bald statement. The flat-earth lie was ammunition against the creationists. The argument was simple and powerful, if not elegant: "Look how stupid these Christians are. They are always getting in the way of science and progress. These people who deny evolution today are exactly the same sort of people as those idiots who for at least a thousand years denied that the earth was round. How stupid can you get?"

This one might be worth downloading. I believe it is the evolutionist who keep telling us that we refuse to learn.

I have read it and found it interesting. By the way, I do not agree that "religion and science are in natural and eternal conflict in Western society" or at least I believe that they do not *necessarily* need be.
