The Earth is Flat – the New President of the Flat Earth Society
An article from yesterday’s Guardian:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/global/2010/feb/23/flat-earth-society
An extract from the article by David Adam:
Daniel Shenton should be the most irrational man in the world. As the new president of the Flat Earth Society, you’d Âimagine he would also think that evolution is a scam and Âglobal warming a myth. He should Âargue that smoking does not cause Âcancer and HIV does not lead to Aids.
Yes, that Flat Earth Society, a group that has become a living metaphor for backward thinking and a refusal to face scientific facts. Yes, it is still going, and no, this isn’t an early April fool.
In fact, Shenton turns out to have resolutely mainstream views on most issues. The 33-year-old American, Âoriginally from Virginia but now living and working in London, is happy with the work of Charles Darwin. He thinks the evidence for man-made global warming is strong, and he dismisses suggestions that his own government was involved with the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
