Are you addressing me? If so, I have never assumed that they were the same peson.

Why would I be saying this to you?

I thought it was clear I was talking to the OP. Thinking

I was responding to this point he made in the previous page:

Quote:But google says :

Quote:The Greek philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BC) argued in his writings that the Earth was spherical, because of the circular shadow it cast on the Moon, during a lunar eclipse. Another reason was that some stars visible from Egypt are not seen further north The full quotation can be found here.Mar 31, 2014

If that not a reference to the same guy, then whom should I believe ? you ? or google ?

This makes me wonder, though. If he agrees that some ancient Greeks saw the Earth as spherical, then what's his point again?
