That the earth was a sphere was widely known. That people thought it was flat is a modern misconception. Though as Galileo's trial is evidence, it took a while for heliocentrism to catch on.

@AMetroid It is hard to say that.Even today flat earthers still exists.

 

[Ahtu]

He shows her a 'globe', and then acts surprised when she mentions that the world is round..?
Then he says that the majority considers the world to be a HEMI-sphere (not flat), while none of his theories disprove this belief.
M'kay..?

Even a newly self-aware kid will deduct that the Earth is round if they recognise the shape of the moon & the sun.

"Even a newly self-aware kid will deduct that the Earth is round if they recognise the shape of the moon & the sun."

Highly arguable. First off, what kind of kid? How old and mature? Is he ignorant or is actually interested in truth? Most kids, you see, tend to argue down to the very bone on what they choose to believe. Exaggerating things to support their argument is nothing new to them. That, and also the fact that most kids won't even think about whether the earth is round or flat since all they see is flat surface and sea and everything is pulled down by something so-called gravity. Kids believe the earth is round because they're forced to believe so until the moment they come to accept that as a fact when they grow up.
