An Italian man named Christopher Columbus had an idea that was thought to be crazy at the time and was way outside the box. He thought that he could reach India by circling the globe and finding the place on the other side of the Planet. Because of some passages in The Bible, many people thought the Earth was flat. Astronomy and Physics started proving that wrong, indeed evidence that the Earth is round existed since the time of Ancient Greece. Still because the Bible suggests the earth is flat people denied it. People thought that Christopher was crazy for this, especially because he was in Italy; the most Christian country in the world. The sillier Italian people thought that he would fall off of the edge of the world. Columbus tried to convince the Italian king to pay for him to do this

abstract	An Italian man named Christopher Columbus had an idea that was thought to be crazy at the time and was way outside the box. He thought that he could reach India by circling the globe and finding the place on the other side of the Planet. Because of some passages in The Bible, many people thought the Earth was flat. Astronomy and Physics started proving that wrong, indeed evidence that the Earth is round existed since the time of Ancient Greece. Still because the Bible suggests the earth is flat people denied it. People thought that Christopher was crazy for this, especially because he was in Italy; the most Christian country in the world. The sillier Italian people thought that he would fall off of the edge of the world. Columbus tried to convince the Italian king to pay for him to do this, but the royal family laughed at Christopher. Then he tried going to Spain and convincing the Spanish queen to support him. At first, everyone still laughed at him. But eventually the queen gave him the documents that allowed him to sail the Atlantic ocean. Everyone still thought he was a nut job, but some people came with him and supported Christopher.
