    Default Is the World Flat??

    Wow. I realize there are people out there who, even in the face of scientific evidence, dont believe in evolution and think Adam and Eve rode to church on dinosaurs...ugh..but how can you get to adulthood as a non-mentally impaired person and NOT know the Earth is round??? I mean seriously....this is one of those basic learn-it-in-pre-school things isnt it???

    And HOW did someone so stupid get a million dollar a year job???

    My God!

    She talks about "Feeding her family".

    Well, she obviously has never missed a meal

    I don't follow the show, but for those of you that do, where did they come up with this gal?

    What I wonder is (besides the fact of how does someone grow up and not learn the world is round) how will these women get along after publicly humiliating one of their co-hosts?

    Interesting.


    and I always thought it was more of an oval shape at times

    Wow, just wow...

    Many people manage to take care of their young, and also get a basic scientific education. They aren't mutually exclusive, particularly given that this is info taught in elementary school long before most adults are up to their neck in child rearing concerns. Sadly it appears the reality is that a lot of kids tune out big chunks of their basic education. Blah

    Have any of you ever visited a board that had people on that disbelieve evolution? It's really a "bang your head against a brick wall" experience. It's really amazing that these people exist...but they are more common than you think.

    Wow. Didn't she ever wonder why globes were round? I understand being concerned for your kids, but she wasn't taking care of them when she was doing 2nd grade map skills!

    These are usually the same type of people who want to remove evolution from the public school science text books. I wish they had asked that lady if she wants that to happen as well. I'm guessing the answer would have been yes but it would have been interesting to see her defend it.

    interesting.
    =( but i was hoping this thread was about the book titled "The World is Flat" by Thomas L. Friedman. Its an amazing book about the effects of globalization on the worlds economies. If someone had asked me if the world was flat i would have probably said yes because i would be thinking of it in reference to this book...not literally. I can't believe people would still think the world is literally flat!

    I find purposefully going to sites who's opinions greatly differ from my own is a 'bang your head against a brick wall' experience and I tend to avoid it.

    i watched the show that day, and the videos/articles online are taking it out of context and not showing the whole convo.

    i don't think that she thinks the world is flat. i think whoopi was using it as a metaphor. not that is the world literally flat or round.

    it was in reference to creationism vs evolution. that the science is there to prove of evolution, yet people still believe in creationism...so since science says the world is round, do you believe that is really round or flat.

    does that make sense?? i'm kinda tired. lol

    ^^ yes, that argument is seen in the longer clip I posted above. But Sherri still says over and over that she does not know if the earth is flat or round.

    And for an insight into the truely wacky, may I recommend the Skeptics Dictionary.

    www.skepdic.com

    The author has great fun bebunking a lot of the paranormal myths.

    At the end of each article is a set of responses from people believing in that aspect of the paranormal - som of it's pretty amusing.

    Enjoy....

    Phil.

    sassysummer, I think it was a bit of what you said and a bit of her not being the brightest crayon in the box, but trying to seem like she is.....

    Hmm. kinda sad, kinda funny. But interesting conversation none the less.
