    In contrast to the previous submission, The Flat Earth Society is NO joke.

    Just as many fundamentalists believe the earth is only about 6000 years old, others hold beliefs which for one reason or another, differ from popular opnion.

    I had a roomate who told me his father said that MAN never walked on the moon. It was done on a hollywood set .... etc. He would try to show me how stupid I was for believing in the space program by throwing this "FACT" up to me.

    There can be more certainty in error than in fact!

    What this really represents is the fundamental rule of truth, people believe what they WANT to believe. No so called FACT, or proof will sway them.

    Also on this matter of belief, when given a choice of believing 2 people, most believe the better looking/sounding one. Even when it flies in the face of "truth"
