Surprised to see this from you Mort, as the church told everyone these "facts" and those who argued were tortured to death. Of course the church has now altered it's opinion to match science, as it always does.
Why the surprise? My personal beliefs have little connection to any organized "church" and would preclude me membership in most.
The "Church", as the only organized entity and structured government for over 1000 years, was simply running with the consensus scientific knowledge of the day because it supported their cause. Ptolemy and others actually had the math to prove an earth centered universe.
The math was complex and convoluted, but it worked.
Just like the politicians running with the present day "climate change" trash science to increase their power and regulation capabilities. They may have to change some records and forge some signatures and doctor some numbers but they get their point across.
No one in the scientific community dares counter the consensus for fear of losing career and life.
The trash science scares the bejebbers out of the population and the politicians are given mandate to do something! They win by default.
Nothing changes when power and control are at risk. We have simply swapped the clergy for the politicians.
Same with prepping. Sometimes if you don't go with the flow, no matter how absurd the flow is, you get jumped by someone that is certain things simply have to be their perception of TEOTWAWKI.
And just like any other religion, perppers will ignore 100 blogs that counter their belief to post a singe link that supports them.
What CH is saying is that we are subjected to an endless stream of "links" that have no documentation, no references, no known provenience and consist of random opinion and are only referenced due to their support of another random opinion.
The blogosphere offers the same regurgitation of dribble no matter what the subject. No real documentation, no firm references, just the "leading experts" offering opinions as fact.
