True. They don't value freedom over here
I can see how that would be possible today but the big bang and the ToE theories weren't around in the 15th -18th centuries and the highest authority at the time was the Vatican.
There isn't that many shipwrecks down here in the south. Vasco da Gama, Able Tasman, Ferdinand Magellan, Captain Cook and others were successful in multiple return voyages. They would have had to learn to navigate using the southern cross instead of Polaris. But im wondering how much of it was down to helio maths...
The Portuguese basically just followed the shoreline around Africa to Asia.
Columbus crossed the Atlantic.
Tasman crossed the Indian ocean.
Magellan crossed the Pacific ocean.
They don't necessarily prove that they successfully navigated the globe using just helio knowledge, does it... Perhaps they were simply mistaken in their belief of the globe and the atheists kept going along with it when they learnt it was wrong in the 19th century...
The greatest navigators were the Polynesians, i wonder what they believed.. They didn't follow coast lines, instead they navigated the vast expanse of the pacific to go from island to island. Imagine trying to sail to a tiny island in the middle of the Pacific, its a seemingly impossible feat but the Polynesians were doing it... Cook was astonished at their skill.
Another thing that comes to mind is how late the Europeans were in exploring the earth. Part of it had to do with ship tech as they could only sail down wind before the Portuguese invented sails that can go into the wind at an angle. But maybe part of it was because their helio belief was wrong. Plenty of explorers left Europe never to be seen again.
We have guys like Newton and Einstein but im in engineering and i know that u can play around with numbers and make them work in just about any situation...
Its important not to dismiss a whole theory based on an anomaly as they all have things that don't add up and other things that do.
I dismissed flat earth based on the fact that travel from Australia to south America or to Africa doesn't add up.
And its easy for me now to dismiss helio theory based on the impossibility of the stars positions, im tempted to do so, especially when i come across someone who is being so belligerently hostile about it all...
So atm im not prepared to adhere to any theory. If i had to pick one now i would lean towards the geo belief that we are a stationary globe with Polaris to the north and the Southern Cross to the south
