Ranking Michigan's Flat Earth Believers Against the Rest of the United States

Michigan has its fair share of Flat Earthers. The movement isn't new though, in fact, Flat Earth has had its own society since 1956. It was at that time that Samuel Shenton founded the International Flat Earth Research Society. According to his hometown newspaper in Dover, England, seeing images of people in space had no impact:

With the beginning of the Space Race, Shenton’s theories began to attract more media publicity. Some members of the Society were convinced by the images of Earth that they saw, but Shenton remained steadfast in his beliefs, insisting that the photos were doctored, the astronauts hypnotised, and the whole thing was cooked up by NASA and globe manufacturers in order to make a profit.

See. Big Globe always wins.
