I like The Onion, the satirical news site that has fooled more than one person into thinking its parodies are legitimate. So when I saw this headline this morning, I had to check the source to make sure it was NOT from The Onion.
It's not. It's real.
NBA star Kylie Irving thinks the world is flat.
This guy went to Duke University, one of the most prestigious colleges in America?
And he wasn't joking, either. He made it clear in interviews over the past couple of days that he believes the teaching that the world is round, which goes back to the Bible (the earth is described as a "circle" in the book of Isaiah), is a "conspiracy theory."
Oh-kay.....
From CBS Sports:
Despite evidence, err, facts, that say otherwise, Kyrie Irving thinks the Earth is flat

Irving may have been a "student" at Duke but he was there to play basketball then cash his chips in.

LOL . . . he is not alone . . Shaq believes that the earth is flat, too. According to Shaq - - driving from coast to coast (from Florida to California) he does not go up and down . . so, he thinks the earth is flat!

Shaq is at least a Muslim and flat earth is written in the Koran. He have more excuse to believe that thing.

There are actually a lot of people that believe that! When someone mentions that photos from space prove the earth is round they will say that space flight is fake and we have all been fooled. They have an argument for every fact that supports a round earth, some of them very far out and wild. Those people are very bizarre!

I have a friend who now believes this. YouTube is not always a good source of information (incidentally, I don't think the Bible ever states the Earth is flat; circle does not mean flat).
To hide the fact that the Earth is flat and pretend that it is a sphere I calculated once would require a conspiracy of approximately 7.373 billion people.
