CA56 The Flat Earth and Creationism

There seems to be significant overlap between the flat earth and young earth communities. One explanation for this is that those with poor judgement and critical faculties are drawn into multiple conspiracies, hoaxes, and pseudo-scientific beliefs. However, the connection between flat-eartherism and young-eartherism runs much deeper than that. The history reveals the Biblical roots of the modern flat earth movement, and the parallels between flat-eartherism and young-eartherism are striking. We discuss the literalist origins of flat earth belief, and the two Christian founders of the modern flat earth movement — Samuel Rowbotham and Elizabeth Blount — who took the Bible at its word.
