I'll just give an analogy,

1000s of years ago there were a group of scientists who claimed that the earth was not flat and was not the center of the universe, it was in fact just another planet rotating around the sun in an orderly fashion.

It wasn't until 1900s this was verified mathematically and 1950s was verified visually with satellites..

Same thing, if you are lucky you can wait until the second coming of Jesus or when another prophecy of this religion comes true in order to accept God...

until then, stay safe in these uncertain and godless times....

Bloody hell! where did you learn your science history????

The diameter of the earth was calculated in 240bce by Earatosthenes of Alexandria, but even before then it was widely considered to be a sphere.

BTW Earatosthenes calculations relied on the Sun being a long way away so that its rays were almost parallel. And the result pretty damned accurate too.
