If I were to look back on my journey into conspiracy topics, I’d have to start with the Zeitgeist documentaries of the early 2010s. Those movies were the first pieces of information to expose me to outside information, such as:
Christianity wasn’t the first religion to have a virgin birth and a “Son of God;” this is simply a pattern that most religions have.
Likewise, with 9/11, you know that the buildings fell down - but now you’re seeing that they went down in a way that was very similar to controlled demolition.
So with these conspiracies, you start to view history and the world in a different light. And so, while re-learning about historical events, you begin to see the world in a whole new light – a vastly different light from what you’ve been told.
And somewhere along that journey, I came to the topic of the earth being a level plane. The first time someone approached me about the subject was back in 2016 when a cashier at a health supplement store was trying to explain how the Bible describes the earth being under a firmament. I thought it was interesting but gave it no attention and carried along. Then, in 2021, somehow some way, for reasons I can’t remember, I decided to look into the topic of the level plane – or what’s better known as “flat earth.”
What I found was interesting, to say the least. For one, I was fortunate to find some information that explained the topic in a serious and intellectual manner. Now these videos were hours long, so I don’t expect the average person to watch them, but they presented a perspective with solid foundational support as well. However, when I looked at the individuals I began to follow along this “truth” journey, I found that almost everyone stayed away from this topic. Researchers that I respected on other issues considered conspiratorial either didn’t care about flat earth or chose that this wasn’t worth their time.
For one, I think this is just one of those topics where “the science is settled.” “The earth is round; everyone knows that.” Personally, I went to a Christian school, so the origin of my reality revolved around “God creating the world,” and that was it.
I think this plays a big role in how open one is, and we discuss this in my analysis.
By the time I went to public high school, concepts of the big bang and all the planets were simply information to pass a test.
So I can understand why the majority of the population, going through the education system for a decade, state the earth is round.
This has been the one concept that has been taught since we could talk. The earth being round is literally the foundation to the basis of our reality.
In the following articles, I will make a case for why the topic of the level plane under a firmament requires a serious discussion. I’ll be presenting a logically based approach to the issue divided into four parts that will aim to cover all aspects of this subject. However, before we go any further, I need the reader to understand and conceptualize just how much of a “cloak” science has placed over our perception, better yet, our reality.
As this pandemic has shown us, science can be very politicized to the point where “true science” doesn’t get accepted because it’s not “the science.” Once the reader understands that science, for the past hundreds of years, has been corrupted and polluted by dogma, then the reader can start to understand why I used the phrase “cloak of science.”
To start this conversation, I’d like to set one ground rule: I will appeal to your intellect. I’ll be using as few “laws” but no “scientific formulas” or “equations” to defend my position. This will simply be a discussion based on the conceptualization of your intellect. For one, mathematical equations can be arranged to equal whatever one desires. For example, the sun’s distance has changed countless times because it needs to fit “the equation.” So I’ll avoid trying to prove “science’s formulas” are wrong. Instead, I’m appealing to the Divine Logos in you, and if my position or question doesn’t make sense, I need to do a better job explaining.

One quick house cleaning note: Here at Unorthodoxy, I have multiple sections of work, because to fully comprehend life, you must look at it from all aspects.
From the current events, to the professional life, to the theoretical, all topics come together to impact others in our understanding of life.
In my section, Esoteric Wisdom, it is here that I write deeper into the esoteric aspects of reality and how that ties into the overall picture in our life.

Thank you for this! I recently saw a tweet linked somewhere I think meant to show some alien type image instead what I took away as I looked at a wide expanse of ocean is the obviously flat horizon.
My handyman went to Delaware to paint a coastal house. He came back and called me and said you are right, I have zero doubts the earth is flat. It’s so obvious as you look at the horizon here.
I have read many articles that point out things such as if the earth is spinning 1,000 miles an hour west to east, how do you explain air travel. Wouldn’t the earth come to you if you were say flying from Chicago to Denver? Or wouldn’t it be moving away from you eternally if you fly west to east?
And the articles explain how construction engineers and railroad engineers don’t make curved highway and railway parts to accommodate a curved earth.
And the articles also point out how silly the idea of gravity is. That earth’s gravity can hold the oceans to land in a curve, despite the truth that water always seeks its on level, and yet the moon—said to be nearly 240,000 miles away can control the tides! And butterflies and birds seem to defy gravity!
I fully believe the entire global earth is meant to take us away from the idea of a Creator.
Lots of good videos here: https://stoplookthink.com/
The first time I heard a flat earther video on YouTube was because of YT's recommendations of similar videos and I have no idea why it was similar to what I was watching. I thought that's stupid and turned it off. But I was curious after a while and led from God to watch it. I asked God for His opinion on the matter and opened the bible to the first page where it described the firmament and I saw it with new eyes.
The really great "flat earth" videos were around 2015 to 2019 or so. Then they got suppressed by YouTube for "misinformation." Then when you went searching, you'd find the videos debunking it at the top, and the stupid FE ones next, and you basically had to already be following people who were serious to see the good ones. I had a couple on the Christian perspective, but I took them down to monetize my channel. Self-censorship is a thing.
Because I listened to the arguments for the earth-is-a-plane view, I could see why arguments debunking them were not actually debunking them because people were ignoring the arguments for the plane.
I don't believe the bible is the inerrant "Word of God" any longer. I'm more agnostic on the subject of the earth's shape. There are a lot of great points and arguments that are completely ignored because people just think flat earthers are dumb and don't deserve to be listened to or debated properly. And that just makes those people seem brainwashed even if they're correct for a wrong reason. And NASA lies. I would hope more people would care about that.
