Great stuff! I actually have some old copies of the Flat Earth Society newsletter -- which was written by the late Charles Johnson -- from the late 1970s through the mid-1980s that I copied when I worked at the Library of Congress. Johnson, needless to say, was a good Christian anti-scientist who tried to explain scientifically why the earth was flat.
Here's an article about him:

And here's the Wikipedia article:

Shouldn't we teach this stuff in science classes with creationism as alternatives to those tyrannical, prevailing theories that are repressing these poor folks to whom rational thought gives headaches?
