One psychologist quoted in the article explained that such “people want to feel safe and secure in the world.” Focusing on conspiracy theories, and gathering with like-minded conspiracy believers, enables that. If you know this secret knowledge, then you know the truth, a liberating feeling similar to the plot of The Matrix. There’s a “ruling elite” behind it all, keeping us in the dark for their nefarious reasons. Why would some, in today’s uber-scientific-driven world, choose to believe such fantasy? It’s because conspiracy theories are so alluring. They gather in meetings across the flat world, where speakers talk on such things as “Space Is Fake” and “Testing the Moon: A Globe Lie Perspective.” No one believes in a flat earth any more…but wait!ĬNN recently ran an article titled, “The Flat-Earth Conspiracy Theory Is Spreading Around the Globe.” It notes that a number of people do indeed hold to this world view. There’s incontrovertible proof that the earth is round, it orbits the sun, which itself is whirling through a galaxy in an inconceivably huge universe. The sky was the domed firmament that held back water. Under the flat earth was Sheol, the place of the dead. It was the stationary foundation of their world view.

The biblical writers believed in a flat earth.
