What is truly funny is the lack of understanding of how science actually works. Without the self-corrections by proposing and testing new theories, the assumptions made cannot be relied upon as bearing truth. But for science's openness to testing and re-evaluation, we'd still be considering anaesthesia as the work of the Devil intended to nullify God's punishment in the form of pain, and burning witches at the stake or drowning them.
This is a common modern canard.
The scientific method relies on the moderate realism of the Middle Ages —particularly the promulgation of the dogma of “creation from nothing,” from which a direct line can be drawn through Buridan to Newton.
It’s not coincidental that so many great scientists were clerics.
