Oh really? With their limited resources, knowledge, and communication? It was easier to figure stuff out yourself than to go look it up in a reference table?
Evos never seem to be able to stop critiquing and criticizing past science in light of what we know today.
Judging past discoveries and scientific endeavors and making light of them based on the vast knowledge that exists today, is intellectually dishonest and does a huge disservice to the years of painstaking work that was done to lay the foundations of science as we know it today.
Those men who made those discoveries were intellectual giants, the likes of which do not appear to exist today.
With the wealth of knowledge that we have immediately at our disposal, we should be making huge strides in science and it ain't happening, not at the rate it has in the past.
The other laughable thing is the implication that we have arrived in our pursuit of knowledge. Back in the day *when nobody knew anything"? What a hoot. Like we know so much more now? The more we learn, the more we realize we don't know. Compared to what we don't know, what we know now is like spitting into the ocean.
Indeed. Thank you so much for sharing your insights, dear sister in Christ!
