Yeah, it's fiction. It only appears in sci-fi. Like Star Wars. Alderaan was pretty round.

Star Wars is real, just like Santa Christ.

It's quite clear that the OP does not genuinely believe in this.

Given the Greeks didn't believe so (albeit their mapping of the earth was far from perfect) why are you asking?

Everyone knows Jesus was really a Jedi Master.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Ah, there we go.

I'm afraid this is probably going to get locked in a few seconds, but I have to say that you really did have me going there. It was some good satire, and I applaud the quality.

Well there are 4 elephants between the turtle and the disk.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Because if the Earth were flat, it wouldn't have a moon. And, well, it does.

"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman

Well, you are debating a scientific fact. So, debating something already proven is pretty useless. I can give you the definition of a scientific law if you want.
