    - in what way? -- nm - Reagen Mar 11, 14:25 5
      - all i was saying is that scientists, just like religious leaders, believed things at one time that have since been proven false and now sound silly. - TFox Mar 11, 14:30 2
        
        the difference being that scientists throw off beliefs that don't pan out. -- nm - Reagen Mar 11, 14:32 1
        
        and the religious leaders z was referencing have throw out bloodletting, I'm pretty sure. -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 14:33
      - If a minority belief the earth's a sphere, then the belief that the earth is flat must be widespread. -- nm - mara Mar 11, 14:29 1
        
        but that's yet to be shown - Reagen Mar 11, 14:31
That's what we mean. It's not that there was *never* a widespread flat-earth belief. It's just that there wasn't in the middle ages. -- nm - mara Mar 11, 14:17
