Creationists Are Mocking Flat Earthers for Not Understanding Science
By Hemant Mehta, June 3, 2019
Talk about a complete lack of self-awareness: Creationist Ken Ham says people who think the Earth is flat are being ridiculous because they arent basing their beliefs in science. And if they think the Bible supports them, its only because they wrongly choose which verses to quote as if that tells the whole story.
Someone should introduce him to a mirror.
His hilarious rant was prompted by a new documentary in which one group of scientifically illiterate fools tells another group of scientifically illiterate fools why theyre scientifically illiterate fools.Now, before you contact us to tell us the earth is flat, first, please watch this documentary. Weve thoroughly researched the supposed biblical and scientific pieces of evidence presented in favor of such a (wrong) view. It simply isnt taught in Scripture, and the science doesnt support it (although, sadly, many Christians are being convinced by cherry-picked data that only shows part of the whole story and out of context).
If you know someone in the flat earth movement, I encourage you to share this documentary with them. And if youre part of it, I respectfully encourage you to humbly view this film and reconsider your position.
Ham also says people now ask him if he believes in a Flat Earth all the time! He doesnt seem to realize its because when you promote fiction as science, youre bound to draw in an audience thats susceptible to bad arguments and distorted facts.
Yeah but what-a-bout those Chinese Flat-earthers picking on those innocent creationists?
Huh?!?!
Whatabout that?!!!

No self-awareness anywhere in evidence.
