International Flat Earth Research Society?

In researching additional pseudoscience topics I came across this organization, the International Flat Earth Research Society. I thought to myself, there cannot be people who still think this after all we know from modern science. Sure enough, there are. Charles Johnson who was the president of this society for nearly 30 years, passed away in 2001, however. They said for his entire life he pushed to help people "recover sanity" by realizing the earth was in fact flat, and not moving.
"As shown in a map published by Johnson, the known world is as circular and as flat as a phonograph record. The North Pole is at the center. At the outer edge lies the southern ice, reputed to be a wall 150 feet high; no one has ever crossed it, and therefore what lies beyond is unknown. " "Nobody knows anything about the true shape of the world," he contends. "The known, inhabited world is flat. Just as a guess, I'd say that the dome of heaven is about 4,000 miles away, and the stars are about as far as San Francisco is from Boston."
Judging from the previous quote, I assume that he is using this flat earth theory to say to the public that we can not just make assumptions in science, which is a point that I am all for.
I feel this relates to the course because it is someone truly believing, to the point of trying to have others believe, something so far out there that it would seem like blatant absurdness to many. Almost similar to a UFO sighting or abductee.
Say this was true though, the earth is flat. What does that mean? It would mean its all fake, the stars, space shuttles, the moon landing. Its a far stretch, but he wants people to be shown the flat out facts of how these scientific decisions are made.
