Scientific Geoterrapinism is the obviously nutty SCIENTIFICALLY PROVABLE theory that the Earth is flat and on the back of a giant turtle.
[edit] Beneath the Turtle
The giant turtle is on the back of a bigger turtle, which in turn is on the back of an even bigger turtle, and it's turtles all the way down from there.
[edit] Heresy
Of course, notorious heretic Terry Pratchett points out that we're talking about a turtle, not a tortoise, and therefore it needn't actually be standing on anything. Instead, the world-turtle could simply be swimming through the void.
