Flat Earth movement - explain please...

If I manage to live long enough I reckon in the next 100 odd years humanity will manage to entirely roll back the enlightenment. I look forward to witch burning and public executions.

Ya, you can pretty much make an argument for anything using the Hadith. It was written by a lot of people across hundreds of years.

However, the Earth being on a whale was never a widespread Muslim belief. I know this not only because I think I would've heard of it otherwise, but because Muslims simply do not view things with that kind of animist perspective. Muslim superstitions revolve around curses, evil spirits, jinxes, and such things. There is also a creation account in the Quran. No mention of a whale as far as I remember.

I'm assuming since Islam is an Abrahamic religion, in the gods-humans-animal scaling, there are large gaps between gods, humans, and animals, in that order, with the larger gap being between humans and animals. Contrast to Native American religions which generally puts humans third with small gaps or Greek mythology which puts a slim gap between gods and humans.

That's exactly it. Muslims believing of that whale creation story would be as alien as Christians believing it. There is very little difference in perspective between those two ideologies.

We are going to get close to the Sun soon with two different projects. Really excited and kudos to flat earthers. I bet they inspire science people to find more evidence.

You think he's serious? The only thing more preposterous than flat-Earthers are those who actually believe in them. That is a conspiracy theory unto itself.
