Past scientists or knowledge seekers getting an idea wrong doesn't mean that they are dumb or non-scientific, which you inferred by your post title. Almost all of them were doing the best they could under the religious and political environment of their time with the evidence they had at that time.
This whole post makes you look like an ignorant hick from Indiana, F3lix. Easy for you to criticize the scientists, great men and women who helped to build our current human knowledge (even if their ideas proved wrong by history and more evidence) by being a sniveling fuck behind a computer with Google and Wikipedia.
You're basically picking on dead people who have accomplished more with their lives for humanity than you ever will. You're standing on the shoulders of giants and then calling those giants stupid because they lived in an era before you did.
You are a piece of shit.
