I Just want to say that even without reading the book that there is no scientific way for the earth to be flat since there is gravity surrounding the earth and by those standards, gravity "pushes" us and everything on earth down, and if there is gravity pushing us down, then how does gravity work in the way at the edge of the earth. Also there have been people who have run across the earth so how do you explain them running across the entire globe without them falling off. Honestly you can believe what you want but this is coming from a 15 year old freshman, and I think I know my facts.
