I found this article interesting.

(link) Flat Earth Myth

Historian Jeffrey Burton Russell (1934–) thoroughly debunked the flat earth myth over 20 years ago in his definitive study Inventing the Flat Earth.5

Quote

The famous evolutionist Stephen Jay Gould (1941–2002) favourably reviewed this masterpiece:
Quote
“There never was a period of ‘flat earth darkness’ among scholars (regardless of how the public at large may have conceptualized our planet both then and now). Greek knowledge of sphericity never faded, and all major medieval scholars accepted the earth’s roundness as an established fact of cosmology.”6

Jay Gould is plastered all over the place. Talk about over-promotion! The guy was raised a Jєωιѕн communist from new york. So, I'm sorry, I think he's biased. He's gonna promote round earth, because it promotes evolution and evolution destroys Christianity and he knows it. Wether consciously or not, deep down this guy was raised to hate our culture.

I have to admit, it's rare that I find anything penned by Stephen Jay Gould that's worth the paper it's printed on, but this quote in the OP must be one of those.
