Actually, no.
Modern science began with Copernicus, Gallileo et al in the 16th century, and no serious scientist has ever said that the Earth is flat or the universe revolves around the earth since then.
In fact it has been widely known for about 2500 years that the earth is spherical, since the time of Pythagoras and Aristotle.
