Really ? "irreparably" lost ?
who are you to judge ?

Of I forgot. more social terrorism so I shut up ; right ?
Well, here's my big lie with the reference :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_Earth

[quote]Though the earliest evidence of a spherical Earth comes from ancient Greek sources, there is no account of how the sphericity of the Earth was discovered.[/quote]

This link, along with the quote, contains lots of contradicition to what many others sourced and linked, from saying that Aristotle is the first to discover it, despite the link saying :

[quote]According to Diogenes Laertius, "Pythagoras was the first Greek who called the earth round; though Theophrastus attributes this to Parmenides, and Zeno to Hesiod."[/quote]

Which eventually led me to change my main point of view, admit that ancient scholars did had discoveries and models about this ; yet according to the "flat earth" link, THIS WAS NOT THE MAJOR BELIEF.

Please sir, why don't you stop the social terrorism ?
This is a discussion and actually I do poses a strong point, not a weak one.

And of course everybody would say I'm wrong, the majority here are atheists.

You are not the one to judge my credibility.

[quote]Also, calling ridiculous, unfounded, dishonest assertions of belief "idiotic" or "absurd" isn't "Social terrorism" (good lord what a term...). It's just being honest. Ridiculous notions are deserving of ridicule by definition.
