C'mon guys. Isn't anyone going to point out to this enrico guy that Galileo had nothing to do with trying to tell people the Earth was round?

Pythagoras 570 BC - 495 BC
Zeno 490 BC – 430 BC
Hesiod 750 BC - 650 BC
Galileo 15 February 1564 – 8 January 1642
Galileo championed the idea of heliocentrism. That the Earth and other planets revolve around the sun.
I know these theists are annoying but we can't just stand by while they spout retarded shit about EVERYTHING.

Galileo did not have a spaceship to take the masses up in the space so they could see the planet earth round like a ball and also they could see their planet as a small piece of dust compared to the vast universe.
Quote:Ancient Greek philosophers posited that the Earth was round as early as 6th Century B.C.
It is not definitively known which scientist first proved that the Earth is spherical. The discovery is variably attributed to Pythagoras, Zeno, or Hesiod.
