    • God bless Shaquille O'Neal!

    This is wonderful!

    At this point, you might as well just assume that your favorite NBA person fundamentally rejects a basic tenet of astronomy, and believes that the Earth is in fact flat, and not a sphere. You can now add Shaquille O’Neal to the list of people who buy into the theory that Kyrie Irving revealed he subscribes to over the All-Star Break.

    Shaq is a flat-Earther, too

    I’m speechless

    I love this NBA narrative so muchhttp://podbay.fm/show/1000068299/e/1488182460?autostart=1 …
    7:39 PM - 18 Mar 2017




    Other Cavaliers have backed him in this belief, and other players have hinted at it. Maybe it’s just one big marketing stunt. Maybe it’s just players toying with fans and the media.

    Or maybe they really believe this, rejecting accepted scientific principles and the first-person accounts of those who have, you know, actually been to space. As this mindset willfully ignores and rejects evidence accepted as fact by the entire scientific community, there’s no real way of arguing against it. We’ve reached a point where basic elements of human existence in the universe are subject to interpretation and subjective reassessment. Whatever that says about the state of the world, at least it shows a level of intellectual curiosity and contemplative thought from NBA players have that has been absent in years past. 
    After all, when you get down to it, this is really the end result of a critical mind, a presumptive rejection of accepted truths based on their very status as having been accepted.
    ... So anyway, yeah, Shaq thinks the world is flat, and humanity is doomed.

    • Fellow NBA player Kyrie Irving said earth is FLAT almost a month ago!

    http://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/kyrie-irving-says-the-earth-is-undeniably-flat-this-is-not-even-a-conspiracy-theory/

    "If you’re one of those people who believe the Earth is round, congratulations. You’re in the majority of the population who thinks so.
    But Kyrie Irving can’t relate with that line of thinking.
    In a recent podcast appearance with teammates Channing Frye and Richard Jefferson, Frye threw a curveball by asking if his fellow Cavalier brothers believed in whether aliens exist -- and Irving one-upped him, asking the group if they believed the Earth is round.
    He set himself up for a head-scratching answer to his own question.
    “This is not even a conspiracy theory,” Irving said. “The Earth is flat.” 
    When pressed on a response that, for the record, is flat out wrong, Irving went off the rails and blamed “particular groups” that he did not name which he thinks want to convince us the Earth is, in fact, round.
    Said Irving: “It’s right in front of our faces. I’m telling you, it’s right in front of our faces. They lie to us.
    “What I’ve been taught is that the earth is round. But if you really think about it from a landscape of the way we travel, the way we move and the fact that, can you really think of us rotating around the sun and all planets aligned, rotating in specific dates, being perpendicular with what’s going on with these planets?” 

    Almost in disbelief with his sincere response, Richard Jefferson asked: “How are you going to put the word ‘planets’ in quotations?”
    “Because, everything that they send — or that they want to say they’re sending — doesn’t come back,” Irving reasoned. “There is no concrete information except for the information that they’re giving us. They’re particularly putting you in the direction of what to believe and what not to believe. The truth is right there, you just got to go searching for it.”

    • This article about Shaq from the Daily Mail has the most obviously FAKE photo of the ball earth I have ever seen from NASA, circa 2000:

    YES! He is a big man, and I think he can bear the brunt of any ridicule.
    This is going to empower so many regular people to go public with their own FE belief.

    • So Shaq believes the earth is flat. Shaq is an interesting guy. The last time I remember thinking about him was when I saw a video from the Dimonds about magicians where they show Shaq being levitated in the air by a magician. He was lying down and was just floating in the air.

    • okay, say the earth is flat.

    That means, according to ever flat earth map I have ever seen, that South America, Africa and Australia are all opposed by roughly 120 degrees. The three continents face away from one another. Yet, at any given time of night, People on the same latitude in Australia, Africa and South America see the same night sky, albeit at different times. They see it all revolving around the same point in time lapse photography.

    Now, what geometrical object do you have where you can have three people, each opposed to the other by 120 degrees face outward FROM one another and see the same point? Only one:

    A sphere rotating on its axis. Or being rotated about, given geocentrism.

    If a flat earther can clearly and unambiguously explain how three continents, each opposed to the other, can have people standing on a common plane, each facing AWAY from the others and all observe a common POINT I will become a flat earther.

    No one is certain exactly what the flat earth map looks really looks like.  Nevertheless, there are so many proofs of flat earth.  Scripture and the Church have been squarely in the flat earth camp since the beginning.  Starting with scripture.  I have yet to find anyone who denies flat earth to explain how any passages in scripture might be describing a round earth.  Genesis opens with a powerfully flat earth description:
     •Gen 1. 6 And God said: Let there be a firmament made amidst the waters: and let it divide the waters from the waters.
    •Gen 1.7 And God made a firmament, and divided the waters that were under the firmament, from those that were above the firmament, and it was so.
