While we may get back to Wallace and his theory, for the most part we're going to focus on cases where the motivation for the controversy is a bit less obvious. This is our first try of a new video format where we look at controversies that, well, really shouldn't be controversial. Actually a Non-Muslim asked me to explain these verses: Quran 71:19 And Allah has made the earth for you as a carpet (spread out). That was Alfred Russell Wallace, one of the two co-developers of the theory of evolution.
But when it comes to the idea that the Earth is flat, centuries of:thu accumulating evidence don't make much of a difference-its adherents have centuries of history of ignoring it, along with at least one not-nearly-as-famous-as-it-should-be instance of threatening a prominent scientist along the way. But it's truly bizarre to see one from the latter camp have a sudden surge in popularity and attention millennia after we knew it was wrong. There's no shortage of strange beliefs out there, and not all of them involve having a firm grip on reality. Well before Columbus sailed the ocean blue, Aristotle and other ancient Greek scholars proposed that Earth.
Or people just really like plumbing the depths of absurdity. Planet Earth is not, in fact, perfectly round. This video turned out to be one of the more popular ones we ran this year, probably because we're part of the "Big Globe" conspiracy and we're using our status as bona fide members of the global media illuminati cabal to promote a blatantly pro-sphere agenda.
We're re-surfacing a few videos from days past over the Christmas 2018 break to give folks a chance to see them anew.
