Poll question: Earth --- Flat or Round
While we are on the evolution/creationism kcik, let's have another poll on a subject that is equally controversial (or equally settled if you prefer). Given that there are people who believe in creationism it would not surprise me too much to find some here believe the earth is flat.

7. Of course it's flat -
as I once saw it put in theory, let's say you were to fly a plane from the North Pole to the South Pole, and remain at the same altitude for the entire flight - at what point do you turn upside down? Think about it.

8. Round, but...
...we're actually on the INSIDE, not the outside. When we look up at the sky, we're actually looking into the center of the earth.
