They also had an amazing knowledge of herbs and their medicinal uses...some of which we are just now rediscovering. The difference between that and something like evolution or the big bang is that you are delving into theoretical science where you don't always have complete physical evidence. In their case, they didn't know what fossils really were, so they didn't put it together that there were other creatures that came before them. Legends of dragons and other fantasy critters probably arose out of ancient man finding a dinosaur fossil. So while they may have excelled in sciences that they were able to reproduce and physically see and experience, anything that wasn't apparent, they may not have had a grasp on.

But they could build pyramids and track stars with amazing levels of accuracy, and yet, we still don't know how they did it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
