    Leo Ferrari was a founding member and head of the satirical Flat Earth Society of Canada, later renamed the Flat Earth Society (FES).

    In Ferrari's writings in support of the FES and the Flat Earth, he attributed everything from gender to racial inequality on the globularist and the Spherical Earth model.

    Ferrari even claimed to have nearly fallen off "the Edge" of the Earth at Brimstone Head on Fogo Island.[6]Ferrari was a key figure in the 1990 flat earth "documentary", In Search of the Edge.

    In the accompanying study guide, Ferrari is outed as a "globularist," someone who believes the earth is spherical.[8] The intent of the film was to promote critical thinking about media by "[attempting] to prove in convincing fashion, something everyone knew to be false."

    The flat earth society is in disagreement with most of the flat earth community, pertaining to the flat earth and so called "edge". I understand how you would think this massive movement if you will, would come from FES. Yet it did not.

    For the FES was founded in the 1950's.

    There is no ice wall you claim is surrounding the Earth.

    The spherical Earth model is as flawed as current so called climate change computer models. Thank god for brave people like Andrea Barnes.

    Right.. She disappeared driving her snowmobile across Antarctica in 1961.. They found the snowmobile .. It had run out of gas.. She left a note saying she had been to the edge and a camera.. But, the film was accidently exposed.

    Just out of curiosity, without using anything that you been told, how is it that you yourself (personally) know this?

    I'll be honest with my answer, but first let me hear yours?

    Leo Ferrari worried that society was being blinded by science and technology, and that they had lost touch with their own bodies and rational conclusions.

    His promotional brochure, subtitled "We're on the level", stated the following postulates:

    We believe in terra firma, and the more firmer the less terror.
    All science, like all philosophy and all religion is ultimately metaphorical and... reality is essentially mystical and poetical.



    Our aim is to restore man's faith in Common Sense... Seeing is believing. ...Man has been blinded by metaphysics, brainwashed by popular fallacies and bullied into denying the evidence of his very own eyes!

    Did you notice the bridge that was built with the earth's alleged curvature, and how the bridge was slightly curved, yet the water under it was perfectly flat?

    There is zero evidence supporting the claim that there is an ice wall and tons of evidence that instead there is a round Earth with an icy continent at its southern pole.

    I noticed you usually clam up when it ask this question: how am I able to see the International Space Station through my telescope if the Earth is flat and nothing can go to orbit?

    Here are some questions and observations that most people go without noticing.

    Notice in this one, clouds are in front, and behind the sun. Is this a optical illusion and has it ever been explained, or are the clouds actually in front and behind the sun?

    This is how I believe the sun, moon, and stars travel in their circuits.

    This I just found very divine and heartwarming.

    What....ISS? Do you mean high altitude UAV's?

    There is no space station, unless you believe George Clooney and Sandra Bullock actually filmed "Gravity", in space. It's all done with a green screen, and what you see in your telescope is far from the ISS, rather a UAV, which is an "Unmanned Aerial Vehicle". Or you could think of it as a gigantic remote control aerial vehicle.

    Lol, were you under the impression that the moronic, retarded, bat(*)(*)(*)(*) crazy flat earth stupidity warranted anything other than mockery?

    Since you know it's moronic, retarded and bat(*)(*)(*)(*) crazy, why do you continue posting about such an easily disproven fantasy

    We seriously have two flat earthers on the forums now, or is this a Poe's Law thing?

    No, I mean the International Space Station, which on nights when its in the right position I can see it with my own telescope. No photoshop. Nothing digital. Lens and mirrors.

    And considering its the size of a couple football fields and in no way aerodynamic, its not any kind of UAV.
