Did Taylor seriously not believe it was Earth all along?

Add to that travelling at near the speed of light for a further 12 months away (supposedly) from Earth, why would he think he was on Earth?
If those pen pushers up at city hall don't like it,well, they swivel on this middle digit! -

It was never explained in the movies, but in the TV series, the ship was caught in some kind of storm and some kind of emergency protocol kicked in returning the ship to Earth, though a thousand years in the future.
Now maybe something struck Taylors ship (we know there was some damage as Stewarts sleeping chamber was cracked) and the computer automatically set back to Earth.
Just a theory of course.

Also don't forget the landscape changed because of the war. No grass not wild life for many miles and the
humans
looked primitive. They could've been on any planet.
As of now, earth is the only planet with humans on it. He had absolutely
no
reason to believe he was absolutely
anywhere
else. There were also three species of apes, horses, and a cave full of artifacts that dated to around the time Taylor left. The funny thing about the horses is that the presence of horses is a regularly cited plot hole in Tim Burton's version because it doesn't take place on earth. Even if we accept the English language as a story-telling device, this is absurd. It would be easier to believe aliens built a replica of the statue of liberty by coincidence than everything else. This movie is seriously a product of it's time. If it were being made for the first time today, people would think it was ridiculous. -

No only fanboys would think it was ridiculous. Most would get the point of the film and not let it go completely over their heads.
