This is Aristotle:
Thought to be the smartest man on the planet. He believed that the Earth was the center of the universe and everybody believed him because he was so smart. Until another "smartest guy" came around.

Galileo:
And he disproved that theory, making Aristotle and everybody else on Earth look like a bitch. Of course, Galileo then thought comets were an optical illusion and there's no way the moon could cause the oceans tides, everybody believed that because he was so smart. He was also... WRONG, making him and everyone else on Earth look like a bitch again.

And then, the best of all, Sir. Isaac Newton gets born:
He blows everybodies nips off with his big brains. Of course, he also thought he could turn metal into gold and died eating mercury, making him, yet again, another stupid bitch. Are you seeing a pattern? These were all the smartest scientists on the planet, the only problem is, they kept being wrong... Sometimes.

Now you may be saying "This is insane, you fool! You just read the words of some guys you never met and just take it on "faith" that anything they wrote is true." Hmm, and what makes you think what your "scientists" are writing is any more truer than my saint? "Because there are volumes of proven data. Numbers. Figures. Th-There are fossil records!" you may retort angrily. Oh fossil records. Ahh, I didn't even think about the fossil records. I guess I'll concede. Oh, wait. One more thing before I do, have you seen these fossil records? Have you... poured through the data yourself? The numbers? The figures? No? So let me get this straight you get your information from a book, written by men you've never met, and you take their words as truth based on a willingness to believe, a desire to accept, a leap of, dare I say it, faith?
