Again, that the Earth was flat and that the Earth was the center of the universe was so well-substantiated and proven at one point or another. For someone who claims to be such an important part of the scientific community, you don't know the history of science for Jack Schitt.




You seem to be confused. The earth-centric theory of the universe was essentially a religious and a Christian notion - not a scientific one. Unlike evolution, there was never been any scientific data to support the earth-centric theory.

As you know, the Catholics persisted in this belief, long after it was disproved by science - to the extent of persecuting any scientist or anyone else who proclaimed that the earth was NOT the center of the universe.
