What people used the courtrooms to argue a flat Earth? In the past 2,000 years I mean.

Man, they don't teach much of nothing in schools any more do they? Go back to the flat earth controversy, it was a big turning point in scientific history. You can't miss it. A study of that is quite enlighting in the present context of ID vs Evolution.

No, please enlighten us. I KNOW you don't mean Columbus *proving* the Earth was round, right? Because he didn't have to; every educated person in Europe knew that the Earth was round. It was know since the ancient Greeks. It's a myth from the late 1800's that Columbus was faced with opposition by flat Earthers in getting support for his voyage.

So please, tell us where flat Earthers used the courts to argue their case.
