After being called a "flat earther" by irate evolutionists for several
years, I have finally located one person who appears to believe in a
"flat earth" and who claims to represent the "Flat Earth Society"!!
I have my suspicions about the legitimacy or seriousness of this
"Society" and though you might like to read the letter I am sending
to them:
Charles K. Johnson
Flat Earth Research Society International
Box 2533
Lancaster, CA 63539
Dear Mr. Johnson,
For years I have heard evolutionists refer to the "Flat Earth
Society" and accuse others of being "flat earthers" but I have never met
anyone who actually believes the earth is flat or who could even give me
specific information about the existence of this "Society" or its
members. It would appear that I have finally succeeded in locating this
organization and I understand that you are its president. I must
say for a world famous Society, and a much discussed one at that, you
have been very difficult to track down. I hope you appreciate that were
it not for evolutionists, your existence would be virtually unknown in
our time.
I would greatly appreciate receiving any information you might
be willing to send me about the Flat Earth Society and its tenets. Do
you have a journal or a news letter? Are you affiliated with any
religious body or the Committees of Correspondence? I am particularly
interested in the underlying assumptions behind this view and what you
sight as scientific evidence for a flat earth, assuming of course you
are serious about this. I must confess I have always assumed that the
"Flat Earth Society" was rather like the famous "Procrastinator's
Society." As you may know, this Society has been alleged to exist for
over 100 years but has yet to get around to scheduling its first
meeting.
My interest in the Flat Earth Society is no mere idle curiosity.
The label "flat earther" like "fundamentalist" has come to be used
indiscriminatly by evolutionists as a pejorative against those who dare
to disagree with their own world view, but I would rather be more more
precise before I call names.
Thank you in advance for any information you might be
willing to send me about the Flat Earth Society. Your apparent belief
in a flat earth is clearly at variance with my own understanding of the
earth but I am honestly interested in your beliefs and will not ridicule
them if I am convinced that they are sincerely held. I have found that
there is often simply no accounting for another man's beliefs. When
you get right down to it, your belief in a flat earth is no more
outrageous than some much more widely held "scientific" beliefs. Why I
know a large number of famous scientists who essentially believe that
hydrogen is a colorless and odorless gas which, given enough time, turns
into people!
Sincerely,
David N. Menton
