Watch the interview of the author. The link is at the top of the thread.
Bunch of nonsense. Do folks actually believe this stuff? And if so, why?
This is a resurrected Thread. It was pulled before because it was supposedly an attempt at Baiting a certain religious sect. I'll let you guess which one.
FWIW, I will post a paragraph from another thread which might help explain it.
O.B. Huntington:
The inspiration of God caused men to hunt for a new continent until Columbus discovered it. Men have lost millions of dollars, and hundreds of lives to find a country beyond the North Pole; and they will yet find that country -- a warm, fruitful country, and inhabited by the ten tribes of Israel, a country divided by a river on one side of which lives the half tribe of Manasseh, which is more numerous than all the others. So said the Prophet. At the same time, he described the shape of the earth at the poles as being a rounded elongation and drew a diagram in this form; (see graphic at link) which any one can readily see will allow the sun's rays to fall so near perpendicular to the center that part of the earth may be warmed and made fruitful. He quoted scripture and proof of his theory which says that "the earth flieth upon its wings in the midst of the creations of God," and said that there was a semblance in the form of the earth that gave rise to the saying.
The answer to that is buried deep in the human mind and heart. Let me know if you ever figure it out.
Haven't you ever asked yourself why folks believe in stuff like astrology, Bigfoot, alien abductions, a 6000 year old earth/universe, that Islam is "the religion of peace," etc.?
Well, the answer is the same: for whatever reason, they want to believe it.
