Wilbur Glen Voliva was a Christian evangelists and strong proponent of the idea in the early 20th century. From my understanding, he was appointed the head of a church in the Illinois town of Zion, which essentially allowed him to run the city as well. Voliva instituted flat earth teachings in schools and was strongly opposed to mainstream science. I'm unsure as to what extent Voliva's ideas are ascribed to by modern flat earthers but one idea I've heard that has persisted in some Flat Earth Circles is the idea that the Sun is much closer to the Earth than academic science details.
Charles Johnson was President of the Flat Earth Society. His wife,Mrs. Johnson, who believed in a flat earth because she did not hang from her toes in her native Australia, died the next year. Charles Johnson, 76, Proponent of Flat Earth
No they haven't. You are on the other side of the world. That is why the world is not flat. There are 2 hemispheres. Southern and northern. You are in the northern hemisphere. I am in the southern hemisphere. It's night time boxing day night over in the northern hemispere. It's the day after boxing day here in the southern hemisphere.
