Lol.. Isrul, for 90% of that 5000 years, no human on earth knew that the Earth was round.
I mean.. I don’t really disagree with you, but I find your argument absurd. You’re appealing to the wisdom of people who, by our standards, knew next to nothing.
You must surely include all those whose writings are included in the bible. And those sages from every civilization. By your logic, it would be logical to challenge the proscription against murder or any other behavior that harms members of a society. we’re not talking about science. We’re talking about what makes society flourish nd what makes it die. It is your argument that is absurd.
