Here is a debate from Iraqi TV between a physicist and someone who thinks the world is flat. It’s pretty funny.
I have a feeling that it might be fake. Since I don’t understand the language, the captions could have been edited to say anything.
Here are a few highlights:
In response to why we see the top of an approaching ship first:
“The eye …. so far, no doctor has succeeded in understanding how the eye works.”
“we see with only half the eye. If we split the iris into half, we see with the upper half things that are far and with the lower half thins that are near.”
He says that scientists don’t know how the eye works, but he thinks he does?
On a full solar eclipse:
“This is because the moon is half the size of the sun . The moon’s diameter is 1,200,000km while that of the sun is 2,400,000km.”
“The sun circles the earth because it is smaller than the earth.”

The similarity between that champion and the guys running the bibically approved museum tours is amazing.

This reminds me of a two hour discussion somebody had with me about how the universe was created in 7 days. Completely ruined my appetite.

I laughed so hard when he explained to us that doctors do not know how the eye works, then he goes on to tell us how he thinks it works, and all I can see is his big-lenses glasses
He’s entitled to say what he believes, but seriously, he can’t go around claiming that, anything not indicated in Koran is simply false. Thats ridiculous!
Totally reminds me of creationists.
