We can teach those viewpoints

Without having to go too indepth behind them or their reasoning. I learned in school that we used to think the world was flat, but I learned that the world was round and the science upon how that was determined.

Wikibooks can very easily have the same approach.
(here is what is accepted)
(here is what was accepted)
and
(here are links to the science behind what was)

Now, back to why we accept something differently.
Just because my history teacher told me about pre-history and went into a 20 minute speel about why he doesn't believe in that doesn't mean that I won't accept pre-history. Infact for me, I believed quite the opposite because of my teenage rebellious nature. Where I would find fault is if this option wasn't even presented.

I was upset that evolution wasn't even taught to me until my highschool years, which is depressing, because I had known about the concept since my early elementary years. An obession with dinosaurs will do this to a child.
