One major ignorance is that people are ignorant of history.

Many people also ignorantly assume that old beliefs were scientific, when they were NOT scientific.

How often do we hear dumb things like "5oo years ago scientists said the Earth was flat?"
Whatever. Scientists said no such thing. They said it was round. Some BELIEVERS did say it was flat though. Because they were uneducated and ignorant.

A.DIM, present a case that does not confuse believers with scientists.

Science does get shown to be wrong occasionally. And that's a good thing because it helps us develop better theories.

But That's progress.

Your claim is that if science can be shown wrong then it ALL can be all wrong. Wake up to reality- your claim suggests that we can never really know anything. So why should we listen to you? You can be 'proven wrong' in the next two seconds.
