We had global warming and set of scientists that were proclaiming that all the ice sheets would melt...etc...etc...etc... They were caught red-handed falsifying the results to protect their funding and to create a global carbon tax for a global government. They were destroying other scientists in the supposedly unbiased scientific peer review systems.
The world has documented instances where science has failed to live up to their own standards. I apply that to archeology, history, and myriad of other subjects. Maybe, the known history of Earth could or can be different than what the average person is led to believe. The same line of thinking applies to ufo's and alien contact.
Honestly, I would really love to know the truth about a myriad of questions but I am not in know!

And they lie to children.
As for the lies? They are how we explain the universe to children and, as they grow up, we replace the starting lies with the more accurate explanations as they mature enough to understand.
Perhaps some day we will fully understand the universe.
This is an example of one such lie,
when I was a lad, we were taught that ol' Chris Columbus set off on his voyage of discovery despite the learned men and church of the time telling him the earth was flat.
This is not exactly the case, these learned men new the earth was round, and actually had a fairly close idea of its size.
The main problem they had with the voyage was that Chris and all of his crews would have staved to death LONG before they reached India (which was what they where trying to do), and it was only the accidental discovery of the Americas that saved them.
And I would guess that this version is also wrong on several important aspects of the events
