GREAT MOMENTS ON 'THE VIEW'

DAILY BACKGROUND - One of the co-hosts of The View, Sherri Sheppherd, said she didn't believe in evolution so co-host Whoopi Goldberg asked her if she believed the world was flat or round. She wasn't able to answer, using the excuse that she was too busy being a good little housewife to think about complicated things like matters that science settled hundreds of years ago:

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Is the world flat?

SHERRI SHEPHERD: Is the world flat? (laughter)

GOLDBERG: Yes.

SHEPHERD: . . . I Don't know.

GOLDBERG: What do you think?

SHEPHERD: I. . . I never thought about it, Whoopi. Is the world flat? I never thought about it.

BARBARA WALTERS: You've never thought about whether the world was round or flat?

SHEPHERD: I tell you what I've thought about. How I'm going to feed my child�

WALTERS: Well you can do both.

SHEPERD: . . . how I'm going to take care of my family. The world, is the world flat has never entered into, like that has not been an important thing to me.

ELIZABETH HASSELBECK: You'll teach your son, Jeffery, right?

SHEPHERD: If my son, Jeffery, asks me 'is the world flat,' I guess I would go�

JOY BEHAR: You know, didn't some person already work this question out? I mean, why are we doing this again? (laughter, applause)
