There is a group of people called the Flat-Earth Society who still believe that the world is flat!
No joke.
Their arguments are based on a literal interpretation of the Bible. If you read the Bible carefully, you'll see that it does actually support their theories. But most Christians no longer take all aspects of the Bible at face value -- and especially don't study it as a science book.
The Society began in 19th-century England and then came to America. It never had more than a few thousand members and -- as far as I can tell -- has started dying out.
The last world model put forward by the Society suggests that we live on a frisbee-shaped disc with the North Pole at its center and a 150-foot high wall of ice surrounding its outer edge. In the model, the sun and moon are a mere 21 miles in diameter.
This just goes to show that you shouldn't eat paint chips as a child.

"Flat Earth Society" By BAD RELIGION
lie lie lie... the full moon is rising over dark water and the fools
below are picking up sticks and the man in the gallows lies
permanently waiting for the doctors to come back and tend to him, the
flat earth society is meeting here today, singing happy little lies
and the bright ship humana is sent far away with grave
determination... and no destination, lie lie lie... yeah, nothing
feels better than a spray of clean water and the whistling wind on a
calm summer night but you'd better believe that down in their quarters
the men are holding on for their dear lives, the flat earth society is
somewhere far away, with their candlesticks and compasses and the
bright ship humana is well on its way with grave determination... and
no destination, lie lie lie, ad inifinitum
