In his latest series of social media rants, pro-Trump attorney Lin Wood appeared to endorse multiple new conspiracy theories, suggesting that NASA is faking the heliocentric model of the solar system and the Earth is actually a flat disk.
"The Holy Bible is the Word of God. Every word in the Holy Bible is true," wrote Lin Wood on his Telegram channel. "Is the Earth flat or is it a spinning ball??? The answer is found in the Holy Bible. Do the research. Connect the dots. Draw your own conclusion."
There are numerous ways for laypeople to prove that the Earth is spherical. One way is to visit the beach and observe receding ships drop "behind" the ocean as they move along the curvature of the planet. Another way is to travel to the Southern Hemisphere and observe that the same stars are visible in all directions. Yet another is to simply observe that gravity pulls objects towards the Earth's surface at every point on the planet, which is only possible if the Earth is a sphere where every point on the surface is roughly equidistant from the center.

(76,536 posts)Catholic school here, too. Including HS.
All i was taught was the earth was a ball that revolved around the sun.
Oh, and dinosaurs went extinct millions of years ago.
Wood's mind has taken a walk off the map.

(53,113 posts)This is interesting: Father Georges Lemaître, a Vatican astronomer, created the Big Bang Theory during his employment with the Vatican. The Vatican always likes to say that their scientific discoveries are the work of God, so this isn't strange: rather than saying "the Big Bang disproves the existence of God," they are saying "God created the universe, and this is how."

(130,261 posts)"In 2021, the Georgia State Bar commenced an investigation to determine whether Wood violated the state's rules of professional conduct in his election-related litigation. As part of that investigation the state bar sought a mental health examination of Wood, which Wood unsuccessfully attempted to block. Wood was later, separately referred to the Georgia State Bar for possible discipline over the Michigan election litigation in which he participated, a lawsuit the Michigan judge found was filed "in bad faith and for improper purpose."" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L._Lin_Wood

(93,787 posts)I might actually be Christ coming back for a second time in the form of an imperfect man, elevating Christ consciousness, an extraordinary footnote quotes Wood telling his partners. That cause you to have a little bit of a chill? Who would be more eloquent to say what the will of God is, the belief of God in me.
Wood is said to have called himself the representative of various Biblical figures.
I represent Moses, Wood allegedly declared on tape. I represent Ananias the believer. Im like the power of King David. Now look you all, I told you I was going to pray tonight to my God, not to myself, because to me theres God and theres me.

(131,867 posts)people for defamation (reminds me of fred phelps). CBS apparently made a documentary about JonBenet's murder, for which the brother did another defamation suit, asking for 250 mil in compensatory and 500 mil in punitive. burke went on phil mcgraw's show to proclaim his innocence, supposedly. But it appeared to many that he was confessing/bragging.
No footprints in snow. Alarm turned off. Drafts of "ransom note" on stationery in the house. Police did not search the room where her body was found, by her father. He wrapped her up and brought her out, contaminating the crime scene. The window in that room was not disturbed. The Boulder police and DA treated john and patsy with kid gloves. The investigation stank from the beginning.

(12,251 posts)How did I miss all that?
A few years ago Burke had a Facebook page. I don't see it now, although there are some Burke Ramseys on Fb and maybe he's one of them. Lin Wood is on Facebook, or so it appears: L. Lin Wood PC His last post was in 2021.
Yes, the investigation stank. The Rs succeeded big time in their coverup.
niyad
(131,867 posts)the pathetic exercise that was the investigation.
Several years later, another friend, who ran one of those junior pagaents, was telling me about JonBenet and patsy. According to her, patsy was a stereotypical stage mother (think "Gypsy"
, and yet JonBenet would not have ever made it to the top.
