Yah the earth was flat was common knowledge.. during the dark ages. You know, when science was witchcraft and the clergy ruled all of societyNever stop asking questions
Always leave room for skepticism
Everything you see on TV is secondary
Just a few centuries ago, it was common knowledge (trust the experts/science!) that the earth was flat and

He does this a lot. Probably stoned and listening to an old Dead show laughing his ass off.Op love you for your musical contributions. This, however, is laughable. Unless you meant it to be laughed at. In which case it’s great.
Of course it's laughable. That's why I posted it. The shit some people believe is really incredible.Op love you for your musical contributions. This, however, is laughable. Unless you meant it to be laughed at. In which case it’s great.
To be fair, flat earth and geocentric philosophy was driven by the church, not by science.Never stop asking questions

But they were the “experts” of that time period, no?To be fair, flat earth and geocentric philosophy was driven by the church, not by science.
as it pertains to the europeans, yes the clergy were the most educated at the time - at least per capita. heliocentrism has been around since the BC times, or at least early theories similar to heliocentrism from ancient grecian philosophers. it wasn't until mankind had created telescopes that the heliocentric model could be proven. geocentrism dates back to ancient babylon iirc, so yeah it long predates the church.But they were the “experts” of that time period, no?
Also, the geocentric model long predates the church/Christianity….Ptolemy & Aristotle were considered scientists, right?
True. I guess my point was that our knowledge of the world around us is constantly changing and evolving. Who’s to say that certain things we don’t take as fact now will not be disproved or expand upon centuries from nowas it pertains to the europeans, yes the clergy were the most educated at the time - at least per capita. heliocentrism has been around since the BC times, or at least early theories similar to heliocentrism from ancient grecian philosophers. it wasn't until mankind had created telescopes that the heliocentric model could be proven. geocentrism dates back to ancient babylon iirc, so yeah it long predates the church.
technically the church opposed heliocentrism because it opposed the entire foundation of medieval scientific thought. aristotle actually addressed the possibility of heliocentrism, but he couldn't square it with his own theories on gravity. and truly the church didn't really oppose heliocentrism until copernicus tried to use religious texts to prove heliocentrism.
That's why I posted it.well that just may be the most ridiculous thing I have read in quite some time
A wholesome read for a Thursday afternoon. Hey, still beats work! 😂That's why I posted it.
Who’s to say that people of the future won’t look back on this time period in a similar manner?Yah the earth was flat was common knowledge.. during the dark ages. You know, when science was witchcraft and the clergy ruled all of society
Interestingly, it was known in our history as far back as 500 bc that the earth was round. Scientific methods are sound whenever they occur. However when the powerful use superstition to keep and grow their power... those methods tend to be burned along with the people who use them. Please see the dark ages.Who’s to say that people of the future won’t look back on this time period in a similar manner?
Flat earth was still commonly accepted as recently as 400-500 years ago, not exactly the dark ages
We have plenty of people today that think the 2 most structurally sound buildings in the world fell straight down at free fall speed due to being hit by an airplane
Lol. The earth is an inverted sphere.Interestingly, it was known in our history as far back as 500 bc that the earth was round. Scientific methods are sound whenever they occur.
