Probably more monolithic than now, because people followed the lead of the Church more.
Priests were also massively uneducated. They did not know even the Bible. Books were only in the libraries of the richest people.
Information did not spread as quickly as today. Mass was in Latin and people did not even understand what is being said. Etc.

And there were no schools for children. And huge differences between for example centers like Paris and some far away settlements or villages. A complete lack of education is very rare today, basically everybody attended at least an elementary school.

Yeah like going through the Van Allan Belts, by rights the belts should have zapped them all up.
Why "zapped them up?" The problem with the belts for space travel, as I understand it, is that they are belts of radiation, not solid barriers. Unless properly protected, the delicate electronic equipment on board a spacecraft would be damaged by the Van Allen Belts.

Well all's I can say is that the Heathens may not be right about God but have it right about the earth .:greenapple:
What does that matter?

No one, when they die, will be asked, "what shape did you believe the earth to be?" they will be asked "did you believe in, and accept, my Son?"
Most of us globe earth believers here - and Charles Duke - have done that. A lot of Flat Earth believers haven't.

This has nothing to do with my beliefs, I'm just showing what NASA says, if the Belts are true (which they are not) then by rights all astronauts should have been zapped.
But that doesn't make any sense at all. Why would NASA "invent" an obstacle which (according to you) would prevent their mission to land people on the moon?

NASA never invented the belts, they are now claiming they are true, so how did the early missions like Apollo 11 get through them ?
Answer - They didn't, they staged them here on earth.

Not true.
You mean that all those who believe the earth is flat are Christians? Really? Certainly the opposite is not true - there are plenty of people who are Christians who do not believe the earth is a flat disc.

But it seems that you were left out, somehow. You know less about the Earth today than Greeks or Romans in the 1st century. Or than sailors in the Age of Explorations.

Clever answer, i'll give you this one ;)

Wernher Von Braun met with Walt Disney before his death to enlist his help in order to stage the moon landings & walks.

View attachment 365410
Well, a Google search for "Von Braun" and "Walt Disney" brought up information about them collaborating, but to promote space travel. For example: "He (Von Braun) worked with Walt Disney on a series of films, which popularized the idea of human space travel in the US and beyond from 1955 to 1957."

Whatever has that verse got to do with the speed at which information was spread back then? It says:

“"But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase."” (Da 12:4 NKJV)

So in Daniel's day, the book was to be sealed up. Also it doesn't say, "many are running to and fro, and knowledge is increasing."

Well, you are the only Christian of all the Christians I know, or whose sermons I have heard, or whose books I have read, who doesn't believe in a globe earth. Even on these forums, there are plenty of us who believe the earth to be a sphere.

So the head of NASA worked with Disney to promote space travel ? Hmm that's interesting...

Did you read what I wrote before? The Van Allen belts are belts of radiation which could damage electronic equipment, not solid barriers that would prevent spacecraft getting through. What they had to do was protect the equipment from the radiation.

Out of the 7 billion people on earth, what are you are saying ? That none believe in a flat earth who are Christians ?

Even you do not believe the earth is a flat disc.
You have said it is at least 40,000 feet deep, otherwise God could not bring people up from the depths of the earth. It also has 4 corners, which are, apparently, "further out".
Such a shape does not exist; you have continually failed to produce, or draw, it.

He didn't say "no one out of 7 billion people", he said "no one out of all the Christians I know, books I have read" etc.
I completely agree.
