Most people don't even know how television or cars work, yet they use them all the time. To say nothing about computers: most computer users seem to think that they're powered by some sort of black magic.

The difference is that, even if one does not know how a TV works, nobody thinks it is magic. There's an understanding that it works according to specific rules, even if in the heat of anger or frustration they act like they don't.

Quote:Most of us even know less about nature than people who lived two thousands years ago did. At least goat herders had an idea of how the process of breeding new species works. Most people today couldn't tell apart an Angora goat from a Cashmere.

I sincerely doubt most people, at any point in history, could tell apart most specifically similar things, no matter what they are. Only those familiar with such subjects usually can do so. Nobody can know all about everything.

If I can't tell two breeds of cat apart, that does not make me more ignorant than someone who can, yet thinks that thunder is God smiting someone in anger.
