Faraday, Mendel and Pasteur’s discoveries largely created the modern world. They were the greatest of the 19th century scientists. But who do leftists and our schools dwell on as a great scientist of that era? Darwin of course. Not for his science but because his work, they believe, is handy in undermining faith.
Btw...Faraday was a religious nut, Mendel, of course, a monk and Pasteur a Catholic.
Bah, Carnot, Fraunhofer and Planck are more important than those nobodies.
That the earth is not flat.
