No Bro', you are correct, this is a world of make believe, current research indicates that belief systems are less of a thought out process,  more of pick and mix to suit your needs.
Apparently there are some people out there who believe the whole kit & caboodle was made by an all encompassing sky being?

Interesting. I am curious to see what dedicated members of the society will have to say in regards to your comment.

As for an "all encompassing sky being", I assume you are making reference to theism? If so, you can count me among your group of "some people out there."

Arts & Entertainment / Narnia

I am sure many (if not all) of you are familiar with C.S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia, but have any of you read them as an adult?

The reason I ask is because the setting (Narnia) is somewhat similar to my understanding of the FE model. For example, Narnia is a flat, circular world with trecherous boundries, and what lies beyond is a subject of great mystery to its inhabitants. The Narnian sun and moon are relatively small, and stars are something of a completely seperate nature (I'm guessing, however, that most FEers don't believe our stars are actually magical, sentient beings as they are in Narnia ).

I mean no insult by comparing your believed worldview to that of a work of fantasy fiction, but I found the similarities interesting. It almost makes me wonder if Lewis was familiar with the FE model as it was understood in the mid 20th century.

Flat Earth Theory / Composition of the sun

Question:
I understand that the sun in the FE model is significantly smaller than in the RE model, but is it otherwise thought to be composed of the same materials?
Thanks.
