Did People Really Believe the Earth was Flat???
I had to research this subject since l thought that peasants in the middle ages believed it?
But apart from a few groups and individuals wanting some power, that was it!
Here is the link, interesting read...
Myth of the Flat Earth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
And l don't want this to go down the religious path, (for obvious reasons). Remember this was the Catholic Church a few hundred years ago, (they were still burning and garroting people back then if they didn't believe in their teachings, etc).
The main reason l put this up, apart from the first point is this reference...
Since the gov, of this country believed it, it was taught in schools, and printed in books, (the printing press was invented in the 1600's if l am not mistaken)? So popular media back then was pushing it for all it was worth, because they, (gov,) wanted power or control, it could also be because the majority were just stupid, in this gov, but l tend to go with the other reasons!
Either way this demonstrates that just because popular media of the time pushes something, that it doesn't mean it is correct.
It is correct for political reasons, or control reasons or financial reasons! The truth may get brushed aside!
This has strong references to today!
This clearly shows in the distant past that gov, etc, will believe in something to gain power or wealth.
So, in regards to Global warming, and space exploration, UFO,s power generation, etc, gov, word cannot be taken at face value!
An indipendant scientist or scientists, that don't have their hands out, or haven't signed a disclosure agreement or aren't strongly politically motivated, or use their brains, instead of their emotions, are the ones to seek answers from!
And what solid research we can do of course! :rolleyes:
We shouldn't get overly stressed about, this may happen and that, from dubious sources, since people who follow stock market bubbles act that way, and usually lose out!
We need to take official reports into account, but if all available evidence says otherwise, then we need to chill out and seek out the truth.

In Thomas Jefferson's book Notes on the State of Virginia (1784), framed as answers to a series of questions (queries), Jefferson uses the "Query" regarding religion to attack the idea of state-sponsored official religions. In the chapter, Jefferson relates a series of official erroneous beliefs about nature forced upon people by authority. One of these is the episode of Galileo's struggles with authority, which Jefferson erroneously frames in terms of the shape of the globe:[13] Government is just as infallible too when it fixes systems in physics. Galileo was sent to the inquisition for affirming that the earth was a sphere: the government had declared it to be as flat as a trencher, and Galileo was obliged to abjure his error. This error however at length prevailed, the earth became a globe |

Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.
