"Francis Bacon, Galileo, Kepler, Newton, etc..."

That's just a list of names. None of whom ever said what you claimed, or would have agreed with it.

“None of whom ever said what you claimed, or would have agreed with it.”

Ah, so Bacon didn’t advocate “experimental philosophy”, and Newton didn’t base his work on Bacon’s ideas, which were then built upon by men like Galileo and Kepler to arrive at the modern formulation of the empirical, experimental based scientific method in the 19th-20th centuries, in opposition to the more inductive and deductive based approaches advocated by others? And the experimental approach didn’t result in by far the vast majority of all scientific advances in the history of mankind? Is that what you want people to believe?
