From the Catholic Church’s declaration that beavers are fish to the Native American’s "lost tribes" theory, this list will take you on a journey through time, exploring the beliefs of the past and their impact on the present.

We’ll start with the Catholic Church’s declaration that beavers are actually fish, so people could eat them during Lent. We’ll explore the Nation of Islam’s belief that a group of 24 black scientists are in charge of the world and that a scientist who wasn’t part of the group made the white race and gave them control of the planet for 6,000 years. Finally, we’ll explore the John the Beloved and the Three Nephites, who, it is said, are still around, doing their best to help people come closer to God until He returns.

So, without further ado, let’s dive into this list of baffling beliefs and theories that are considered literally true. Enjoy.
