>>20484874>please elaborate howLet's use an example. Do you recognize pic related? If you were a learned medieval Christian, you most certainly would, because he was basically the pope of medicine. That is, after his works were translated from the "anti-science" Arabic, lol. For centuries, no Christian would challenge his medical research, despite its flaws, because he was too much of an authority, and plus, they didn't even have the empirical framework to do so. Can you imagine that? It's as if today's med students were being taught from books written by some guy born in the middle ages. That's how "inferior" pagan science was.
