Description:
The All Natural red flag refers to the claim that natural products are healthier and better for you. There are most certainly All Natural products that are in fact beneficial for your health, but this does not mean that all of these products are good for you. For example, things like mercury and hemlock are considered "All Natural", but these two things are very harmful and poisonous to us humans.

Connection:
Here is a list of 25 All Natural things that can actually be harmful towards humans. Ephedra is on this list, and its a great example of why this red flag can be so dangerous. Ephedra was mixed with other drugs to sell an "All Natural" weight loss product. What the users of this product didn't know was that Ephedra actually caused things like strokes, heart attacks and even sudden death.

We've all heard it, and we've all seen it on product labels: "All Natural!" These "all natural" products seem to be preferable over their more processed counterparts. Another favorite phrase heard is, "We don't want those chemicals; we like all natural!" (Everything is made up of chemicals, by the way. Literally everything). Aside from most people not really understanding what "All Natural" labeling means, we've somehow made it synonymous with healthy or good for us, as if nature would never provide anything that would harm us. As this list will clarify, that simply isn't the case. Just because something is "all natural" doesn't mean that it is in any way without risks or side effects. Nature has some pretty big teeth. To help us get some perspective on this, here are 25 All Natural Things That Can Be Harmful To You.

Description:
Proof by Verbosity, also known as "proof by intimidation", is the red flag where someone uses a large amount of information and evidence to give the illusion that the claims they are making are true. This information and evidence is often useless, and is only provided to confuse or intimidate people.

Connection:
The Flat Earth Wiki is a fantastic example of people using the Proof by Verbosity red flag to try and make believe their claims. They have hundreds of articles on this site, and the articles themselves sometimes lead to hundreds of more. A lot of the claims in these articles can easily be disproven with a simple Google search, but the vast amount of information may turn unknowledgeable people in to believers.

Welcome to the Flat Earth Wiki, otherwise known as The FEW - a collaborative resource maintained by the Flat Earth Society!

This website is dedicated to unravelling the true mysteries of the universe and demonstrating that the earth is flat and that Round Earth doctrine is little more than an elaborate hoax.

The Flat Earth Society holds that there is a difference between believing and knowing. If you don't know something, and cannot understand it by first principles, then you shouldn't believe it. We must, at the very least, know exactly how conclusions were made about the world, and the strengths and weaknesses behind those deductions. Our society emphasizes the demonstration and explanation of knowledge.

Flat Earth Theory has grown over the centuries like a wondering sojourner hungry for truth and eager for discovery. It's changed from the learned conjectures by our ancestors of Antiquity to Victorian polymaths like Dr. Samuel Birley Rowbotham, and it even thrives today in a world-wide grassroots effort of scholarship. This Wiki reflects these stages of Flat Earth Theory by containing information and works from each era of humanity. As people walked through the ages collecting data and knowledge, the Flat Earth Theory walked with them, growing wise and robust in kind.

We, editors of the FEW, hope that you find the truth and erudition of these works, as so many before you have. Within these digital pages you can expect to find the scepticism and understanding needed to break free from the constraints of conventional dogmatic thinking and brave the pioneering waters of true science and learning. More specifically, you will find Flat Earth proofs conducted by Flat Earthers across the world and Flat Earth concepts, terminology, and discourse. May the various Flat Earth evidence and Flat Earth maps guide your journeys to places wonderful and to ideas formerly unfathomable.

Connection:
Here is a very sad story about a childs death that involves the Idealogical Support red flag. The family in this story were religious, and decided to put their ideological faith and support in to God in order to heal their newborn, instead of getting the medical help that their child needed. The child ended up passing away, and the family was charged with murder.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
PORTLAND, Ore. - The parents of a baby girl who died because she didn't receive medical treatment in favor of faith healing took a plea deal on Monday.

Travis and Sarah Mitchell both pleaded guilty to criminal negligent homicide and criminal mistreatment, according to John Foote, District Attorney for Clackamas County. The couple will spend 6 years and 8 months in prison.

The Michells' daughter, Ginnifer, developed breathing complications and died shortly after her birth in Oregon City on March 5, 2017.

The pair were members of the Followers of Christ Church. Followers of Christ Church members believe in using prayer and oil over medical care.

According to those in the home, Ginnifer was alive, breathing and being fed from an eye dropper for about four hours after her birth, court documents revealed. After four hours, she stopped fussing, became lethargic and stopped breathing. They estimated that Ginnifer died at about 7 p.m.

After the baby died, a church elder, Carl Hanson contacted Clackamas County Deputy Medical Examiner Eric Tonsfeldt.

Tonsfeldt determined that the babies were born prematurely, at about 32 weeks. Ginnifer weighted 3 pounds 16 ounces and was 16 inches long.

About 60 people, including family members and church members, were at the home for the birth, Tonsfeldt said. No one in the home called 911.

After Tonsfeldt examined the deceased child, family members informed him Sarah had also given birth to a twin girl, Evelyn. He asked to see her and was taken into the master bedroom bathroom, where several women were sitting in chairs caring for a similar-sized baby.

Tonsfeldt said Evelyn appeared healthy, but he told family members in the home that because of her size and because her twin sister had just died, Evelyn was "at medical risk" and needed to go to the hospital. He repeated this instruction two times. On both occasions, Sarah Mitchell's father responded with the words, "Thank you for your input."

After the medical examiner left the home, he called Oregon City Police and requested a "welfare check" on the surviving baby to make sure the family had taken her to the hospital.

When officers arrived, Sarah Mitchell's father came to the door and the officers told him they were there to do a welfare check on the baby. He asked the officers to wait, went back in the house and returned with Travis Mitchell's father and another unidentified man.

The officers again said why they were there and that the baby needed to go to the hospital. Joshua Mitchell asked the officers, "Are you telling us we have to go to the hospital?" The officers responded yes. The three men went back inside the house. After about five minutes, they returned and agreed to take Evelyn to the hospital in a personal car.

Travis Mitchell left with the baby in one car and drove to Willamette Falls Hospital with the patrol car following behind.

Evelyn was seen at the Willamette Falls Hospital emergency room, stabilized there and then transferred to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Oregon Health & Science University.

An autopsy of Ginnifer performed the next morning showed that her lungs were not developed enough to work on their own. X-rays taken during the autopsy showed the lungs had collapsed.

As part of the plea deal, the Mitchells signed written statements that read: "We should have sought medical care for our children and everyone in the church should always seek adequate medical care for our children."

Sarah Mitchell is a granddaughter of the church founder, Walter White. Her father is also named Walter White, according to the Oregonian. Her father signed the statement, which will be prominently posted inside the church for all to read, under the terms of the plea agreement.

This is not the first infant death from Oregon Followers of Christ members.

Church members Shannon and Dale Hickman in 2011 were convicted of second-degree manslaughter and sentenced to six years in prison following the 2009 death of their infant son two hours after delivery.

Sarah Mitchell and Shannon Hickman are sisters.

Is it biblical?

In Western culture, say the word "Satan" or "devil" and a popular image will immediately come to mind. It features a demonic being with a pointy tail, horns, and cloven hooves, wearing red tights and carrying a pitchfork.

Where did this image come from? Is it biblical?

Surprisingly, the imagery is derived from both ancient Greek mythology and the Book of Revelation.
Horns
The Book of Revelation describes a great beast (traditionally associated with Satan) as follows, "Then I saw another beast which rose out of the earth; it had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon" (13:11). St. John further explains how this beast has a particular number that marks all those who follow him, "let him who has understanding reckon the number of the beast, for it is a human number, its number is six hundred and sixty-six" (13:18).
Cloven hooves
One of the largest influences of the modern depiction of Satan is the Greek god Pan. He was known as a god of the wilderness and many stories associate him with lust. Christians saw all pagan deities as incarnations of the devil, but Pan's sinful activities and grotesque, goat-footed appearance made him a perfect symbol.
Pointy tail
The devil's reptilian tail is another symbol connected to Revelation. St. John writes about "a great red dragon ... His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth" (12:3-4).
Pitchfork
Also known as a bident, the pitchfork-like staff was used by the Greek god of the underworld, Hades, and represented his sovereignty over the dead. Since Satan is viewed as the "lord" of Hell, he is frequently depicted with a bident.
Red tights
The wearing of red tights is more of a recent invention, highly influenced by Disney's animation of "devils." At the same time, it is also derived from the fact that in medieval morality plays the figure of Satan was played by an actor wearing a red outfit.

Christian author C.S. Lewis was one to criticize the comic looking devil, writing in his Screwtape Letters(from the viewpoint of a demon), "The fact that 'devils' are predominately comic figures in the modern imagination will help you. If any faint suspicion of your existence begins to arise in his mind, suggest to him a picture of something in red tights, and persuade him that since he cannot believe in that (it is an old textbook method of confusing them) he therefore cannot believe in you." Lewis suggests that a comedic devil has contributed to the belief that the demonic does not exist.

Patternicity is humans way of finding meaningful patterns in meaningless noise. For example, you could find a face in the clouds or a horse in the mountains.

Connection:
This is an unbelievable story that involves the Patternicity reason for belief. Someone put up an item on Ebay, that looked like the famous gorilla "Harambe". This chip, which had the shape of the gorilla, eventually sold for a whopping $100,000!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Someone has bid nearly $100,000 for a Flamin' Hot Cheeto that resembles Harambe, the slain gorilla.

The seller found the cheesy crisp in a bag of crisps, according to its description. It was then listed online, with bidding beginning at $11.99.

But it quickly shot up before bidding ended on Tuesday morning, finishing at $99,900 after receiving 132 bids.

The buyer will receive just the crisp on its own, not any of the other Cheetos that came with it or the bag itself.

The listing showed the crisp next to the picture that it resembles, of Harambe climbing a tree. That image isn't the most iconic one of the ape - who is usually pictured sitting on the floor - but has circulated since he became famous last year.

"I opened up a bag of Flamin Hot Cheetos and as soon as I looked inside I came across this unique Cheetos that looks like Harambe the gorilla," the eBay listing read. "This item is one of a kind!

"It measures up to about 1 1/2 inches in length," the post continued. "This item up for bid is only for this unique Cheetos, bag not included. This makes a great collectible for anyone who appreciates rare items!"

Harambe became the centre of internet outrage last year when handlers at the Cincinnati Zoo, where he lived, shot and killed him in May. That was after the gorilla dragged a small boy who fell into his enclosure, and staff claimed that the death was necessary for safety reasons.

Here is a story of an interstellar space rock that mystified, and was unexplainable to astronomers.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A mysterious space rock, first spotted in 2017, bewildered astronomers - was it an icy comet, a rocky asteroid, or something entirely new? As the object, called 'Oumuamua, hurtles away from us, the mystery may be solved: it's accelerating like a comet.

Researchers tracked the space rock's trajectory on its way out of this solar system, using telescopes on the ground and the powerful Hubble Space Telescope to keep watch even as the interstellar visitor faded out of sight. They discovered that 'Oumuamua's speed couldn't just be the result of gravity. It was accelerating - which could be explained by gas puffing out of the sun-warmed end of a comet, the team reports today in the journal Nature,

It's not quite like anything we've seen before in our Solar System

There's debate over 'Oumuamua's identity because it's not quite like anything we've seen before in our Solar System. Astronomers expected that the first space rock to visit us from outside our Solar System would be a ball of ice and rocks: a comet. After all, our planetary system flung icy objects into interstellar space when it was forming. Wouldn't others, too? But there's usually a cloud of dust and gas surrounding comets, and 'Oumuamua didn't appear to have one - which could mean it was made mostly out of rock and metal, like an asteroid.

In December, researchers led by Alan Fitzsimmons, an astronomer at Queen's University Belfast, suggested 'Oumuamua was indeed comet-like, it was just coated in a thick layer of carbon-rich grime that insulated the space rock's icy heart. The rock's exit from our neighborhood has settled most astronomers' minds. It's a comet, just an unusual one. "I love this paper because it shows I'm right. Of course I'm going to love this paper!" says Fitzsimmons, who wasn't involved in today's study. "The important thing about this paper - let's be sensible for a moment - is that it's a really careful analysis of how this object has moved through the solar system as we've been observing it."

As the space rock careened away from the Sun - and us - a research team led by Marco Micheli, an astronomer at the European Space Agency center that studies near-Earth Objects, tracked it. They discovered that 'Oumuamua was accelerating, and interactions with gravity from the Moon, the Sun, and nearby planets weren't enough to explain it. "There was something else that was pushing 'Oumuamua out from the sun, so it was moving faster than it should be just due to gravity alone," Fitzsimmons says.

"That acts like little rocket thrusters."

That's exactly what you'd see with a comet. As the sun warms up a comet, its ice thaws to gas - just like dry ice does here on Earth. "So it's this gas coming off of the comet that gives it a push," says Karen Meech, an astronomer at the University of Hawaii and an author on today's study. "That acts like little rocket thrusters." That could explain 'Oumuamua's accelerations - although to be certain, the team explored other possibilities, too. Maybe the force of the sun's radiation was giving the space rock an extra nudge. Or, maybe, the comet was magnetized, and was getting a push from the solar wind's magnetic field.

But the best explanation was that 'Oumuamua was a comet - sure, a weird one, but a comet. So why didn't the researchers see that characteristic cloud of dust and gas around 'Oumuamua? The dust could have been stripped from the comet as it flew through space, or maybe astronomers just missed it. And gas is actually hard to detect, Meech says. "You need a bright comet, or a really big telescope. And this was a very faint comet. So people tried, but the data were very noisy."

"To be able to study that in any kind of detail is a truly magnificent endeavor."

It's also possible that astronomers were looking for the wrong gases. One gas that researchers would expect to see rising off of 'Oumuama was cyanide, Meech says. "It emits light very strongly in blue colors, and no one saw it. If the chemistry was the same, we should have seen some," Meech says. That means the space rock's chemical makeup could be different from comets that originate closer to home - which is why this interstellar visit is so exciting, Meech says. "It gives us a glimpse of the process of building planets elsewhere," she says.

Of course, the real proof would come from sending a spacecraft to get an up-close look at 'Oumuamua's surface, but that's unlikely to happen. The space rock is too far away, and traveling too quickly. So Meech's focus is shifting to the next one: "If, in the future, you could have a spacecraft ready and waiting to go, then that would be a much easier mission."

Fitzsimmons, too, is looking forward to the discoveries that might fly into our Solar System with the next interstellar visitor. "How cool is that - we've been talking in recent years about trying to design a spaceship that might get to a nearby star," he says. "Stars are actually sending us material from their own planetary systems. And to be able to study that in any kind of detail is a truly magnificent endeavor."
