I've seen religious freaks all over the net promoting this. But seriously? Once who have ever say in a plane have seen that the horizon isn't flat. It's curved. And if the earth were to be flat, how would the satellites stay up? Wouldn't possible to orbit something that's shaped in that way. But then I guess space travel is just bogus according to the religious freaks as well.

Yes it is (in their opinion): http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=...

And not just religious freaks, apparently.

It's not a religion problem.

It's a basic mathematics problem. Notably, Euclidian geometry and trigonometry. When was the last time those disciplines where taught in schools?
