@cankeredbrains were not talking about faith. were talking about fact. biblical fact. and were not talking about religion either. too many people automatically connect religion with the bible. im not saying there wrong but there not right either. see religion, by definition, is "a body of persons adhering to a particular set of beliefs and practices". this essentially makes things like atheism a type of religion.the bible also mentions that the world is "hanging on nothing".
@Monfernape "biblical fact." you spelled fairy tale wrong. "too many people automatically connect religion with the bible." religion stems from the bible.
This is so true. However so many people think that the the bible and science have nothing in common when its quite the opposite. The bible was the first book to say that the earth was a "sphere" and "round" of course 500 years ago not everyone studied the bible and wouldn't know that so his statement iin this scene is relatively true.
@Syloso Scientists at CERN have admitted an experiment that appeared to show neutrino particles could travel faster than light was potentially flawed due to a faulty cable. Today CERN physicists have admitted a faulty connection between a GPS unit and a computer may be to blame.
@biggee316 Perhaps there is no greater demonstration than the folly of human conceits, than this distant image of our tiny world. - Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot
Check out Pale Blue Dot. It's a little more in depth, but thought provoking nonetheless.
Actually people have known for thousands of years that the earth wasn't flat. This is a very common fable we have today about the Europeans pre-Columbus. No one actually thought that he would fall off the earth or that there were sea dragons in the ocean. Well maybe the second, but I mean, that would be pretty cool.
I live a much happier life, since I simply see nearly all people as NPCs. (While playing chess) “You know what's so elegant about this little game, Jake? Nobody knows what the enemy is. They don't even know he exists. He's in every…one of their heads. And they trust him. Because they think they are him. If you try to destroy him… to save them,… they'll destroy you… to save him. Ahh… it's beautiful man… You have to admire the opponent's elegance. Check.”
1 person can't accept the awful truth. If we don't learn to accept our fault's, how can we ever learn to rise above them, if just a little?
I'm not trying to say that I'm perfect or anything. Man, I know I'm not. lol That's just what makes reasonable sense in my head. We all possess intelligence. We just need to learn to use it more wisely.
this is the only way the people keeping this secret could really explain why they did so and honestly i have to say for the most part that they are absolutely right. people cant handle the truth, notice something about our solar system, and our galaxy is that they look like nothing is there from a distance.....
Actually, 500 years ago people thought the Earth was round. Not many people ever believed it was flat. In fact, over 2000 years ago, Eratosthenes proved that the Earth was a sphere. It's really just a myth that people thought the Earth was flat.
@thehelloman0rs Actually this movie was made in the nineties, approximately 500 years before was when Columbus set foot on the land we now know as America. So no, Most people of the time did not think that the earth was round.
@Brittonsp "The idea that educated men at the time of Columbus believed that the earth was flat, and that this belief was one of the obstacles to be overcome by Columbus before he could get his project sanctioned, remains one of the hardiest errors in teaching."
Please see the wiki (and its sources) on subject "Myth of the Flat Earth"
@Vlakpage "Christopher Columbus's efforts to obtain support for his voyages were not hampered by a European belief in a flat Earth. Sailors and navigators of the time knew that the Earth was spherical, but (correctly) disagreed with Columbus's estimate of the distance to India" Wikipedias; List_of_common_misconceptions
.....yup, couldn't have said it better myself. Some people simply amaze me by how close-minded and stupid they are... for example: people in cults, racists, Glenn Beck's viewers, etc...

i found the truth of life and what this movie was about... this talk is a hidden message, take to red pill, make the choice, to seek for yourself, dont believe the lie the world feeds you, 2012 is coming, look it up, the galaxy on Orion's belt is a hidden message, i cant tell you but seek and ye shall find, Nostradamus predicted 2012.
about aliens.... i cant say anything you will believe but the pyramids in Egypt holds the secret of Orion's belt.
assholes? harsh and ignorant. I think its reasonable for them to not believe it. Theres no proof, and why would they have gotten off their 'earth' already. Do you believe in God?
@FlinxWeasel I think the only way anyone realizes the message in this scene is the best description of humanity are those who choose to be whatever they want, draw their own opinions from the facts; instead of letting others put words and thoughts into their heads by force.
@FlinxWeasel I agree, this indeed a fitting description of us as a species. Like Socrates said "I know only that I know nothing..." the more we know, the less we know really... the more we explore space, and answer questions, the more misteries arise about the universe, that leads us to that axiom... the more we discover, the more we realise that there is alot we don't know or understand...

1500 years ago, everybody KNEW that the earth was the centre of the universe. 500 years ago, everybody KNEW that the was flat,
and 15 minutes ago you KNEW that nothing could travel faster than the speed of light.
