    Does anyone know anything about the flat earth society?  Are they
sincere, spoofing or some of each?
    Did it start out as a spoof, with the true believers assuming
control, or vice versa?
    The reason I asked is because I have heard the Duane Gish (center
for Creation pScience Research or some such group) once said that it
was silly to compare creation pscience with Flat-Earth.  Apparently,
someone who was a member of both groups quit the creationist's group
immediately afterwords.

p.s. Yes, I know I'll be flamed for putting this here (now and after
my death), but such bizarre beliefs are more likely to have religious
origins than any others.
