"scientists" used to think the earth was flat...and people believed them.
"scientists" used to think the sun revolved around the earth...and people believed them.
"scientists" used to think man couldn't fly...and people believed them.
Incredible the amount of ignorance demonstrated in this post. Did you ever get past the third grade?
Scientists, natural philosophers as they were called at that time, measured the circumferance of the Earth well over 2000 years ago. It was the church that insisted on a flat Earth.
The church was putting scientists to death for noting that the Earth and other planets revolved around the sun.
Some scientists believed that the technology then could not allow men to fly, others thought differantly, and here we are today. No thanks to ignoramouses like yourself.
