I wondered this before myself, I found that wikipedia had most of my answers.
The Forgotten Realms is a fantasy world setting, described as a world
of strange lands, dangerous creatures, and mighty deities, where magic
and supernatural phenomena are quite real. The premise is that, long
ago, the Earth and the world of the Forgotten Realms were more closely
connected. As time passed, the inhabitants of planet Earth have mostly
forgotten about the existence of that other world – hence the name
Forgotten Realms.

Do you have a more direct source you can cite for that? Wikipedia is not a reliable source, and that statement in the Wikipedia article has no citation itself. Essentially, someone could've just completely made that up and could be completely wrong.

True, and I realized that too as I posted--I used to have a Forgotten Realms players handbook that said something of the sort, but that's just my word for it. Perhaps a better wiki link, with better sources, is Ed Greenwood's page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Greenwood#cite_note-Dragon_#244-1
