Hello. I have come to notice that any opposition to Flat Earth theory has been rewarded with primitive assaults and pithy replies. I have also noticed a username parading as Saddam Hussein. First, I would like to clarify that Islam does not condone a flat world. In actuality it proclaims the Earth to be flat. Not that I am Muslim, by the way. I am actually an Atheist.
I would also like to know "why" you believe in Flat Earth. The Earth is nothing more than a large, (round) object. If you do not believe this, secure for yourself a device which is able to achieve an acceleration higher than the -9.798 m/s (such as an airplane, helicopter, or baloon.) You will see, that infact the earth appears curved. Infact, if you possess the intelligience, you can even build yourself a spacecraft (though I doubt you will be successful at this endeavour.) Or perhaps you could simply fly a robust aircraft around the world for so many kilometers until your flawed notions reach their dissolution. Furthermore, what little I have read from Samuel Rowbotham has not yet been confirmed by any other scientists.
