The Latest Discoveries in Astronomy: The Globe Theory of the Earth Refuted (Based on the arguments of Orlando Ferguson, 1891) 

The Scriptural Foundation of the Square Earth

The theory that the earth is a globe is fundamentally incompatible with divine revelation. Scripture explicitly describes a world with four distinct corners, a geometry impossible on a sphere. As written in Revelation, angels stand upon the "four corners of the earth" to hold back the four winds. This divine geography necessitates a square, stationary foundation rather than a spinning ball. To accept the globe theory is to reject the literal truth of the Bible in favor of scientific speculation. The true shape of the world is a vast, square block, divinely ordained and statically positioned, distinct from the wandering planets of the heavens.

The Illusion of Curvature and the Horizon

The common argument used to support the globe theory—that a ship leaving port disappears hull-first due to the earth's curvature—is a fallacy of vision, not a proof of roundness. When a vessel sails away, it is not the bulge of the earth that obscures the hull, but rather the vapor rising from the water and the limits of the naked eye. If one observes the same ship through a telescope after it has supposedly "sunk" below the horizon, the entire hull becomes visible again. If the earth were truly curved, no magnification could bring the ship back into view; thus, the surface of the water must be flat.

Refuting Gravity and the Mechanics of Weight

The globe theory relies entirely on the invisible, unproven force of gravitation to explain why objects adhere to a spinning surface. However, this force is a fiction created to prop up a false model. There is no such thing as gravitational pull; instead, the stability of objects on earth is caused by the weight of the object itself combined with the compression of the atmosphere. It is this atmospheric pressure that holds everything down, rendering the concept of a magical gravitational force unnecessary and scientifically invalid.
