The 35 Inconvenient Truths are posted as not being confirmed by "Mainstream Scientific Opinion". Thats cool. No pun intended.

However, if we followed "Mainstream Scientific Opinion", the Sun would still revolve around the Earth, and the Earth would still be flat. Not to mention Columbus would have stayed in Europe.

Although maybe that would have been better, would have saved the original inhabitants of this continent from mass genocide.

Actually both examples you gave, Earth centric universe and flat Earth were founded under religious ideologies. It was "Mainstream Scientific Opinion" that was persecuted for attempting to change these ideas.

Praise be to "Mainstream Scientific Opinion"
