Episode 2: Three Catastrophes!

<p>The launching of the Age of Discovery in the early 1490's was no accident. &nbsp;Think about what Columbus and his 89 other men were doing in 1492. &nbsp;By traveling directly west to get to Asia in the east, Columbus was taking the age-old "facts" that the Earth was flat and throwing it out the window! &nbsp;What would motivate someone like Columbus to risk his life to challenge that accepted idea? &nbsp;It would take, not one, nor two, but three major catastrophes to rock the human mind-set to dare to ask if the world was indeed round. &nbsp;And all three of those catastrophes happened within one person's lifetime. &nbsp;So tune in to find out what those catastrophes were and ask yourself if you might have been pole-vaulted into a whole new way of thinking as a result.</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/christopher-kinsella/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/christopher-kinsella/support</a>
