>> So, this bit doesn’t disprove evolution,

And what’s to say “history” isn’t being altered and not necessarily by virtue of discovery of the previously undiscovered, but through the appearance of discovery of things that didn’t exist beforehand, or through ‘evolving’ scientific insight that realizes now what it could not earlier.

You used a lot of words to state the definition of ‘science’.

We use observation to expand and challenge what we thought we knew before.

Evolution, eventually, will occupy the same historical space as phrenology does today. They used to study the bumps on one’s head to determine personality and other traits. There’s about as much science to substantiate evolution as their is phrenology, or for that matter AGM (anthropomorphic global warming).

Science is a wide, shallow pond, with some very deep holes in it. We know a lot about a very limited number of things, and not much about anything else. As you can imagine, if the topic is about war, then we know quite a bit.

Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and the locations of these deep holes of knowledge at the bottom of the shallow pond are tightly correlated.
