Taking Religious Nonsense to a New Level!
I was reading up on NASA's Mars missions, specifically articles concerning the possible existence of life on Mars, which led to an article on the UK newspaper site The Times, which led to a comment someone posted about the Apollo 11 lunar landing being fake.
Then the video led me to look up the Wikipedia article "Moon landing conspiracy theories", which led to me finding out about an organization that has been spearheading various lunar landing conspiracy theories...
Can anyone guess?
The Flat Earth Society!!!
Yes, it was the mid-20th century and a certain Samuel Shenton got up and said, "I have studied the Bible thoroughly and the Earth must be flat!!!"
Here's a juicy expert from their mission statement:
We maintain that what is called 'Science' today and 'scientists' consist of the same old gang of witch doctors, sorcerers, tellers of tales, the 'Priest-Entertainers' for the common people. 'Science' consists of a weird, way-out occult concoction of gibberish theory-theology...unrelated to the real world of facts, technology and inventions, tall buildings and fast cars, airplanes and other Real and Good things in life; technology is not in any way related to the web of idiotic scientific theory. ALL inventors have been anti-science. The Wright brothers said: "Science theory held us up for years. When we threw out all science, started from experiment and experience, then we invented the airplane." By the way, airplanes all fly level on this Plane earth.
Poor Samuel died in 2001, but the pious Charles K. Johnson picked it up in 2007! Here's their web page!

And they are on Facebook!
I am trying to decide if these guys are funnier than the guys who still believe the Sun went around the Earth.
Think we may have a tie there. :)
