[Mrs. Don-o]

"There were many mysteries then. There are very few mysteries today."

That's just flat wrong, absurdly wrong. Jaw-droppingly wrong.

Human knowledge is like fractal; or, if you can't imagine a fractal, it's like a gigantic spreading tree. A tree grows, and grows, and grows, and every new little green twig on that tree has a bud of mystery.

“There were many mysteries then. There are very few mysteries today.”
That’s just flat wrong, absurdly wrong. Jaw-droppingly wrong.

I agree. My take is that the more we know, the more we know we don’t know.

Believing in “evolution” was easy until we found out just how complicated life really is. And then we discovered an actual computer programming language (called DNA) in every single cell of every single living thing. Suddenly it’s not so simple.
