Let me just point out one thing. Wasn't there a time when the brightest minds thought the world was flat? And it was the radicals who believed otherwise and turned out right?
This is true! The Earth is not flat. The radicals who inferred that it was not of a flat shape were radicals because they were deducting the true nature of the Earth through natural observation and not listening to the dogma of the time which told them otherwise. Unfortunately whenever someone asked them "why is the world round?" the only answers people could give is more of your despised "maybe this" or "maybe that."
