A quick history lesson for you. Columbus did NOT believe
simply that the world was round while everyone else believed
it to be flat. They KNEW it was round. Columbus was simply a
moron who believed it to be less in diameter than it actually
was. All though other attempted to persuade him that it was
greater in size than his calculations, he went about his way.
He proved nothing in the end.

> Ha! Aristotle's theory of gravity passed all tests for
> thousands of years! The theory that the earth was flat
> also lasted until even after Columbus (and I believe
> a number of people adhere to it even today).
