In a lot of words, it says very little. Makes presumptions based on 200 year old science, which it contradicts at every available point. In layman's terms. Absolute dongwater. Do not read. Look up the simple test any single person with access to a sheet paper can do at their own home. It will immediately disprove the 200 something pages of this madman's incoherent ramblings within minutes.

Do not buy this lunacy. The flat earth cult is fueled by intellectually dishonest, willfully ignorant, incredulous idiocy with no basis in scientific fact or observable reality. Do not buy this book as a guide for truth, but only if you’re interested in his monumentally some can reject truth and favor a delusion. Other than that, this is pure trash.

Oh yeah? Then explain observational evidence of the phases of Venus. Only possible in Heliocentric solar system. Just stop with the vile and ignorant lies that you espouse.
