Scientists use to say the world was flat at one time and that we was the only planet in our universe too

I think this thread got confused or something. Some of the answers seem to be from other threads. Either that or someone slipped some booze in my coffee. In that case ignore me.

I tried to modify my original statement and accidently deleted :-[ Sorry

I often give scientists the benefit of the doubt.  Generally, they're not making a ton of money - and what money they do receive, is very important and based on the scientists getting accurate results.  Few scientists can continually bend the truth and still be respected and funded (especially in such a tight circle).  Of course Dr. Fish from BassMaster University is a little suspect, but most others offer honest research.  And several scientists have always known the earth is round - ancient civilizations noticed that the last thing you see of a boat is its mast - it just takes time, trial, and error to find the truth.

You mean we're not the center of the universe shaped like a trisquit?  :-?
