Re: faith in past scientists (Score 1)

I wanted to throw out that in order to advance science, you must trust that the people before you were rigorous, thorough, and any number of synonyms enough that their work is solid to stand upon. Insert quote: That guy... great because he was standing on the shoulders of giants. You know who I'm talking about. That's a bit of faith, and if you find some work to be a sham, or lack an insight that was not possible in the past, then you have to go back to the drawing board.
