[QUOTE="SilencerX7, post: 2479240, member: 33484"] The Dark Ages. It was in that era that all science was thrown out as heresy and everything was put in the "Holy Book". All progress of mankind were catapulted back hundreds and hundreds of years. Yeah. All that work the Romans and the Greeks did? Aqueducts? Paved roads? Sewage systems? These existed LONG before the Dark Ages in the Roman Empire and we lost that technology until we after the Dark Ages had ended. This isn't even accounting to all burning and pillaging "Christian" explorers did to the Aztecs, Mayans, Incans, and other native peoples of the Americas who had burned almost every text that defined their culture and technologies that were well beyond the Europeans at the time. There is a reason why what we do know pales in comparison to what we don't about the Native Americans. We burned their knowledge to a point where even their descendants are clueless about their heritage. And, finally, there is finally the Creationists who, not long ago, wanted to replace Science courses with Creationism. They wanted to feel they were entitled to say the Earth is only 3,000 or so years old. They wanted to have the entitled right to say that dinosaurs never existed, that the bones archaeologists did up were planted by the hands of Lucifer to stray man from faith. They wanted to say that Evolution doesn't exist when it does and is proven by the Galapagos Islands itself, where Charles Darwin have first explored the idea of the Theory of Evolution. It is fine to believe what you want. I myself am a pagan because I believe all faiths hold a part of a truth far grander than we can ever conceive. I believe, in a way, that our own personal beliefs govern our own realities. I will not stop you from believing what you believe but I'll be damned if you don't give me that same respect. What can't people just accept others beliefs and not fringe that science is true if for nothing else that it is proven to be? Science changes to fit what is true and what isn't. There are so many things that were thought to be true and then reversed by way of proving it to be (not by blind faith that it is). Plate Tectonics is the most notable case I can think of that shows that Science adapts and will always adapt to what is true and what isn't. [/QUOTE]
