Scientific truths are contingent truths, testable and correctable.
Hmm, okay. Well then I suppose it does not matter what any of us here thinks.
I never said that; instead, think for yourself, be critical (even judgmental) of your sorces, respect (to an extent) scholarly consensus, and, if you disagree with the scholarly consensus (in some instances, I do), understand why you disagree. For instance, I think that the Academy has whitewashed the early conquests of Islam and the violent teachings of Muhammad, but, that's for another thread!
