2000 years ago the prevailing wisdom was that the Earth was flat. This despite facts and even logic.

Experts these days frequently aren't and what the general consensus comes up with is the most twisted and illogical crap ever devised by a human mind. No. Sorry. I don't care how many people line up and insist 2+2=5.
