Many people are fed up with the way traditional religion alienates them. Too easily it perpetuates conflict, vilifies science, and undermines reason. Nancy Abrams - a philosopher of science, lawyer, and lifelong atheist - is among these people, but she has also found freedom in imagining a higher power.

What does a christian do with the subject of flat earth? Specifically, how can a christian intelligently and wisely handle the controversial topic of whether the earth is a sphere or a plain? This is no longer a subject that christians can avoid, hoping the entire subject will go away so you won't have to deal with it. The subject of flat earth has become a very hot topic, and among many believers and unbelievers the phrase "flat earth" is an emotional trigger that sets some people off.
