That is an absurd contention on your part, John.
I defy you to prove that...
a) it was never true that people thought the earth was flat...or...
b) that this notion is merely an idea popularized by an American journalist.

You really are way out there!
Quote:The earth is flat at any point you walk on it, except at hills and tumuli. This is borne out by observation. Science places observation on a pedestal.
Way out there!
You will have to indicate a moment in history when religion thought that the earth was flat. The medieval church certainly didn't. How far back do you want to go?
You have asserted that people never thought the earth was flat....and that the notion was simply an invention of an American journalist.
I repeat was I said earlier:

What the hell is this sentence fragment supposed to mean????
Quote:How will you cope when they say that the the earth is not a 3 dimensional sphere but a multidimensional string? A fact is true only according to a particular model. So even if people thought the earth was flat, they expressed a true fact.
I really wouldn't give a rat's ass. I am not saying the earth is round, oval, spheroid, or anything else.
What I am doing is challenging some really dumb-assed statements you have made.
And I notice that you are dodging the challenge.
