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

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

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.
