Now I know how Columbus felt trying to convince people the world wasn't flat.

Another example of your ignorance. It was well known that the Earth wasn't flat at the time of Columbus. The ancient Greeks even had a fairly good approximate measurement how big the Earth's sphere was.

You are very like Columbus, thinking he was obviously right, and trying to convince others, when in reality he was wrong.


My point still stands whether it was Columbus or someone else who was trying to convince people that he world is not flat.

I watched 'Apocolypto' last weekend, a cool movie about Mayan culture just before Columbus.
