Armarium Magnum

This quote a été ajouté par teilo
The idea that the medieval Church taught the earth was flat, that Columbus bravely defied their primitive Biblical superstition and proved they were wrong by sailing to America is a great story. Unfortunately, it's historical nonsense - a fable with zero basis in reality... I've also experienced atheists who have been shown extensive, clear evidence that the medieval Church taught the earth was round... and they have simply refused to believe that the myth could be wrong.

As it turns out, the court scientists were correct.

No, it's really not debatable. The history on this matter is utterly clear. The debate concerning Columbus was not whether the earth was round but how big around it was. And interestingly enough, Columbus was actually wrong on that count. He claimed that the circumference was smaller, and therefore a voyage to India was reasonable. The court scientist all claimed it was larger, and the distance would be far too great for any ship to reach it traveling west. The court scientists were correct.
