Counter-example: mathematics. > If you do experiments and test your sacred text you find it's bull shit. Counter-example: "the question of King Milinda", which has proposed the Mechanist philosophy in between an unknown date and the 11th century. OK, to be honest I concede that the buddhist “religious authorities” have rejected “the question of kind Milinda” from the Canon Pali (the official sacred text of buddhism). With both mechanism, and greek theology, there is just no sacred texts at all, just inspiring readings of good treatise.
