The Flat Earth Society

There is a group of people called the Flat Earth Society. These people believe that the Earth is flat instead of round. They believe that all pictures of the earth were made the same way that movies are made. They also believe that the sun revolves around the earth as do all of the other planets. This idea is a called geocentric view of the earth which means that Earth is in the center of the universe. These people have no valuable data to prove this idea. Normal people do not agree with this because there is a large amount of evidence to show us that the Earth is round.
