Omphalos Hypothesis

Sam and Dad are reading "1001 Things Everyone Should Know About Science", two items per night.

Item #185 was about a doctrine called "Created Antiquity". After finishing it, Dad said "there is another theory that means the same thing as "Created Antiquity". Sam cried out "Last Thursdayism!". 

All of which led Dad to wonder if this is the sort of conversation that most Dads are having with their 10 year old children.

By the way, the official term for this flawed theory is "The Omphalos Hypothesis".
