Johan Oldenkamp – The most silly alternative theory that I have encountered so far is the so-called Flat Earth Theory of Eric Dubay. His website is Atlantean Conspiracy.com (link). Is this guy really that stupid? His main “evidence” for his ridiculous claim is that over a distance of 60 miles or 100 kilometers no curvature of the earth’s surface is visible. Apparently, simple math is too tough for him and his brain-dead followers.

The radius of our home planet is about 3963 miles or 6378 kilometers, and her circumference is more or less about 25,000 miles or 40,000 kilometers. This simply means that you need to see farther than more or less 70 miles or 110 kilometers in order to detect a decrease of one degree of arc, if at all possible. Furthermore, all his other “evidence” can be refuted equally simply.

This flat earth silliness is most likely a CIA social media experiment in order to determine the percentage of flat-brainers in the alternative media community, as these naïve believers can next be used for other, more important mind-control programs. The whole idea behind this Flat Earth Theory is therefore data mining, and the same is true for other ridiculous theories as the Hollow Earth Theory and almost all extra-terrestrial stories. – Pateo Wholly Science

Johan H. Oldenkamp PhD is probably the most all-round scientist of this age. He has successfully reunified all pure sciences, all correct philosophies and all true spiritual teachings (including the true parts of each religion) into a logical whole that he named Wholly Science. Wholly Science integrates all knowledge concealed in ancient scriptures with all modern-day findings. Johan is the author of in total thirty-one books, of which six are in English (link).

The Flat Earth model is an archaic belief that the Earth‘s shape is a plane or disk. Many ancient cultures have had conceptions of a flat Earth, including Greece until the classical period, the Bronze Age and Iron Age civilizations of the Near East until the Hellenistic period, India until the Gupta period (early centuries AD) and China until the 17th century. It was also typically held in the aboriginal cultures of the Americas, and a flat Earth domed by the firmament in the shape of an inverted bowl is common in pre-scientific societies.^[1]

The paradigm of a spherical Earth appeared in Greek philosophy with Pythagoras (6th century BC), although most Pre-Socratics retained the flat Earth model. Aristotle accepted the spherical shape of the Earth on empirical grounds around 330 BC, and knowledge of the spherical Earth gradually began to spread beyond the Hellenistic world from then on.^[2][3][4][5]

The mistaken notion that people, including educated people, used to believe that the earth was flat, especially medieval Christians, has been referred to as the myth of the flat Earth. ^[6] Since the 20th century the consensus among historians of science has been that belief in a flat earth in the medieval and pre-modern periods were either nonexistent or very rare.^[6]  Continue reading . . .
