But, why isn't anyone challenging it, with so much ready to access information at our fingertips? I knew oil wasn't fossils, birds were probably dinosaur survivors (now a certainty), that ancient Norse and what would become the English had settled the New World long before Columbus (though some newer findings on that are still pretty cool, like there being a real Camelot, narrowed down to a couple locations, and the real King Arthur likely being buried under one of a handful of existing churches in the US), that ice age world maps existed, etc.. That was way back in the 90s, when it took reading actual books, and spending time at libraries.
If you've been told something is true since you were old enough to read, and no one ever challenged it, seriously, you'd simply believe it is true.
Welcome to the Matrix.

Today, it's practically inexcusable, IMO.
