The World is Flat?

There was a religious sect/cult/whatever that lived in this area of Florida during the early 20th century called the Koreshans. I've kayaked past their former headquarters in Bonita Springs many times. They thought that Bonita Springs, FL was going to be the exact location where a heavenly kingdom would be established. The heavenly capital, if you will.

One of the many interesting things about this cult was their scientific theory that the ground we stand on is actually the outer surface of the earth. So when you look up at the stars, you're actually looking into the earth. In other words, if the universe is a big ball, we're on the outer surface of the ball. And when we look up we look into the ball. Does this make any sense?? They would go out on the beach to try and prove this with long wooden slats somehow.

Here's a link to their website: http://koreshan.mwweb.org/
