Eratosthenes correctly deduced the circumference of the Earth 2500 years ago.
And in 415AD, Christians murdered the last known mathematician associated with the Museum of Alexandria, Hypatia of Alexandra. These pious Christians then destroyed her work so very little is left, and destroyed every great library of ancient knowledge.
For the next 1000 years, the only books would be those the church accepted.

We miss Carl, but we'll keep on fighting in the Demon Haunted world.
