Yes, yes.... the video is coming, I promise. But in the meantime there is so much going on I am compelled to write.
It's time to plug in your brain.
Did you know the earth is flat?!
Of course you did! Just stand outside in Kansas or the African Sahara and LOOK for yourself! The land just stretches on forever. Flat. Well, except for a few mountainous bumps here and there, but obviously quite flat.
How could you think otherwise? In fact, thousands of scientists agree!
Actually, more than that... most likely 95% of the world population agrees!
Well, at least two thousand years ago. EVERYONE just
*KNEW* the earth was flat.
Why? What proof did they have? It looked flat to them? Everyone else they knew also agreed it was flat? They heard scientists tell them so?
For what ever reason(s) they believed, it was a false belief... something every person on earth just took as solid fact without question. Same could be said for the old belief that the earth was the center of the universe. In fact, there were times when people were
imprisoned and even
burned at the stake for suggesting the earth revolves around the sun, and this was only 500 years ago!
Were scientists wrong in their "proofs" or assertions that the earth is the center of the universe, or that earth is flat, or that the atom is the smallest possible particle, or that you could reach China by sailing west from Europe (
Columbus,
Cabot), etc.
I could go on and on with ideas and assumptions that were taken as fact at some time in history. The
REAL fact is that scientists sometimes get it wrong and the entire population of the planet goes on to take it as fact... until it's proven to be incorrect.
Something does not seem right with that method.
How many fingers am I holding up right now? One or two? I say 'one', if you disagree, PROVE me wrong.
Obviously some things are taught as fact, when they really might not be.
Why do I bring this up?
I'm amazed at how much BS these scientists have been spewing at us over the last several hundred years that turn out to be incorrect, yet we are just now realizing they weren't quite right... or flat out wrong. It makes me wonder what they are telling us about our world today that will proved to be totally bogus in a year, 10 years, or 100 years. Why are we taking everything they say as FACT?
Below I will continue to add interesting articles of things we've been told are fact, and then later found out it was not true, or possibly not true. After all, can we every REALLY know for sure?
