So scientists say " we know" this happened but in a few years change their minds. "but isn't this a sign that we are progressing?" well it's mostly a sign that you were wrong. Even scientists admit to this. No science has been more changed than evolution and cosmology. It's also trying to say "we know" what happened in prehistoric times. The fact is that's not even science, it's history. But even history doesn't try and pretend to know what happened in prehistoric times. History is limited to what is recorded by people.
You missed the point. I was uninterested whatever 'truth" may actually be in that paragraph, as I was trying to help you see how it could have been put in a much more readable format. I was pointing out that the way you convey your messages is how to get people to take you seriously.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
