You mean how the "anecdotal evidence" that the earth is actually round turned into "common sense?"
Yeah, you're completely right - none of that shit should be trusted until an overmoneyed dork with a fancy piece of tertiary education institution stationary shows up to prove how stupid we are for doing anything without his approval.
Not sure why you're getting so acid. I never said you can only believe in scientists, just pointed its usefulness to validate beliefs. Can you show me where I said it?
You seem to have a massive negative bias against "overmoneyed dork" which I assume is scientists, so I don't think we're going anywhere here.
And to further your ignorance: Ancient Greeks knew the earth was round and mathematicians helped prove it.. so one of the "dorks".
