[QUOTE=ThirdOfFive;2127965]Early science had it that there were five planets (six, if you counted the moon). We didn't know that Uranus and Neptune existed--until we did.
Early science had it that the Earth was the center of everthing (I mean, the VISUAL proof was right before your eyes). We didn't know that the Earth was simply one of the planets that rotated around the sun--until we did.
Until quite recently, cutting-edge "science" had it that disease was spread by various things: poisoned wells, or taking too many baths, or by smelling bad smells, etc. etc. We didn't know that microscopic critters that we couldn't see but rode around in various media such as the fur of rats, the guts of mosquitoes or the legs of houseflies and spread often horrific diseases--until we did.
YOU SAID IT....I have a lot of common sense but even more so, the older I get the less I know. With age and additional knowledge/learning you realize there is so much more. You can make choices of what you believe but you still need to keep an open mind.
