You didn’t continue with the next part. Never said I believed them. But Georgia is a liberal state now so only portraying the misleading part is moral, and it’s not the full truth

The fact that the earth is round.


Except the government isn’t who told us the Earth is round. Some crazy guy named Aristotle did. And his government hated him for it because it went against accepted belief.

And who proved the Earth is not the center of the universe? Also not the government. Some crazy guy named Copernicus came up with that. And the government hated him for it because it went against accepted belief.

The government usually hates any crazy guy like those two, or Galileo, or Newton, or anyone that tilts the cart and asks too many questions.

Pretty much everything in this paragraph is complete and utter bullshite, especially the underlined part.

Pinning this opposition on the “government” here is weird and dishonest.

Basically if you replaced every use of the word “government” with “church” your post would make a lot more sense, especially your final conclusion.

No, I promise you it was just accepted that the earth was flat. The first to be credited with the idea that the earth is round is Aristotle around 300 b.c. Many still thought Columbus would literally fall off the edge of the earth when he sailed for the new world over 1000 years later. Many still believe iit today. So no, everything I posted is not utter bullshite.

It is the same for the earth being the center of the universe. It was just accepted until Galileo had the idea it wasn’t and Copernicus proved it. So no, that is not utter bullshite either.

History does not seem to be your forte. You may want to skip future history threads.

For much of human history they have been one in the same.

Don’t be a semantic bitch. We already have one of those here. And there is not much worse than little semantic bitches.

Yep, earth is flat. People need to do some research and stop listening to NASA.

Given the origin of life in the Middle East, it just makes you wonder how all those Native Americans got to these here United States, Canada, and the South American region long before Jesus' birth.

Actually, not everyone thought the earth was flat. Isaiah 40:22 speaks of the circle of the earth. That's 800 years before Christ for those who are counting.

Educated people in the Middle Ages knew the earth was a sphere. Indeed since ancient times, that was understood by educated people. The controversy between the Catholic Church and Galileo and between the Catholic Church and Copernicus was not about the shape of the earth, but the earth's position as the center of the universe, and the motion of the earth. We have been fed myths about what ancient and medieval people believed about the shape of the earth. The controversy at the time regarding Columbus wasn't the shape of the earth, but its size. Contemporary critics of Columbus argued he underestimated the size.

Nope. Aristotle’s views on a spherical earth were mainstream in Ancient Greece. Sorry if that hurts your agenda and feelings. But by all means, please send me links to reputable papers which support your claims that both his ideas were wildly novel in his time AND he was persecuted by the ‘government’ for them. None of that is true. What in the absolute frick does anything related to Columbus have to do with your argument about Aristotle?

You’re just making up shite to suit an agenda. I’m fairly certain “reading about history” to you is scrolling on instagram or something and finding pages where complex events are broken down into a simple image that you can follow.

Church and state have overlapped greatly at various times in history. But they are not the same and they weren’t the same in your examples, where the problem was clearly with the church (at least in the Copernicus example).

Haha. You want to just be able to lie and then cry about semantics when you get called out for being objectively wrong. Don’t be an ignorant dumbass. We have WAY too many of those on this board.

As I mentioned earlier, you don't have to listen to NASA. All you have to do is watch a sunset on a partly cloudy day for proof the earth isn't flat.

Surely you are smart enough to grasp the concept of angles and that the only way something can light up the bottom of something and not the top is for the light source to be at an angle that is lower than what is being light.

It simply is not possible to have that on a flat earth.

And really, you don't even need the clouds, it's just icing on the cake. Take a look at this picture. If the sun was to go below the horizon like it does in this image, the entire world would have day and night at the same time. We know this isn't true. Which means the sun can never go below the plane of the "flat earth".

At the same time, if it stays above the plane, then the below picture would never happen. The sun would just get smaller and smaller as it went over other parts of the earth, until it disappeared completely(also impossible, but another story).



So I have no idea what kind of research you think you are doing.

Nobody in this world is ever going to stop you from being ignorant, in fact it's preferred.
