A lot of the people who are part of this society do not actually believe it themselves, they just argue with people for the intellectual challenge of trying to prove something that is clearly not right. It can be quite funny listening to their debates, if you didn't have a clue about science you could start to believe them.

A similar society is the hollow Earth society, they put up a much stronger debate, but are clearly all completely mad :smile:
