A major flat-Earth faction reads Genesis 1, Job, and Psalms as a literal vaulted firmament over a stationary plane; public voices include Rob Skiba (TestingTheGlobe; FEIC; d. 13 Oct 2021), pastor Dean Odle, Edward Hendrie’s The Greatest Lie on Earth, and Zen Garcia’s Firmament (2016).
In 1945, according to the standard find narrative, farmers near Nag Hammadi in Upper Egypt recovered a sealed ceramic jar containing papyrus books. The thirteen codices that entered scholarly and museum history—mostly Coptic translations of Greek religious and philosophical texts—became the Nag Hammadi library, the densest surviving first-hand dossier for what modern scholarship calls Gnosticism.
Critics including Antonio Ribera and Jesús Beorlegui argued in El secreto de Urantia (Obelisco, 1988) and in Interviú-era coverage that large passages of J. J. Benítez's Caballo de Troya saga derive from The Urantia Book and Ummo letters without attribution; Benítez denies plagiarism—making the dispute a textual-criticism and Spanish media case, not proof of USAF time travel.
Wilbur Glenn Voliva, General Overseer of Zion, Illinois’s Christian Catholic community, preached a flat Earth in *Leaves of Healing*, directed church schools against globular astronomy, and broadcast on station WCBD beginning in 1923. Commerce Department and Federal Radio Commission monitoring treated WCBD as a sectarian specialty station. Digitized Zion serials and radio-history research doors document that institutional reception under contested clearance; the page refuses science-dismiss baptism.
From Jerusalén (1984) through Belén (2022), J. J. Benítez's twelve-volume Caballo de Troya saga relates a USAF time-travel operation to first-century Palestine via Maj. Jasón and Project Swivel—marketed with intermittent 'inspired by real facts' claims while also labeled a novel; Archive value is the documented literary-contactee phenomenon and reception, not verified DoD history.
J. J. Benítez's 1983 book El Ovni de Belén applies UFO hermeneutics to the Matthean star and Nativity tradition—later echoed in Caballo de Troya 12: Belén (2022)—a documented Spanish interpretive claim inside Catholic-vs-ufology culture wars, not an astronomical proof that the Magi tracked a spaceship.
In 1980 J. J. Benítez published Los astronautas de Yahvé, reading Yahweh encounters and Old Testament wonders as astronautic theophany—a documented paleocontact thesis that prefigures his later interview line of Jesús as 'gran extraterrestre' and the Caballo de Troya theological science fiction.
Robert Sungenis and collaborators published multi-volume *Galileo Was Wrong* arguing scientific, historical, and scriptural geocentrism; author blogs continue the defense; the 1992 papal Galileo address is the official text both sides cite; film and skeptical-press reception document a living dispute. Contested/L2 HOLD: document texts and reception; do not baptize geocentrism as true; refuse science-dismiss baptism.
Between 1947 and the mid-1950s, caves above the Dead Sea yielded the densest surviving library of ancient Jewish manuscript fragments known to modern scholarship. The scrolls themselves are not the controversy this file isolates. Publication control is. For roughly four decades a small international team held primary access to thousands of Cave 4 fragments while most scholars waited. In 1991 that monopoly cracked—Huntington Library photographs, concordance reconstructions, Israeli Antiquities Authority reorganization—and the Discoveries in the Judaean Desert series finally accelerated toward completion. This Archive file is documented.
On the morning of April 14, 1561, the citizens of Nuremberg, one of the most important cities in the Holy Roman Empire, witnessed something so strange that it would be remembered for centuries.
It asserts that the original Hebrew text of the Bible contains hidden, encrypted messages that foretell major world events thousands of years before they happen.
