    If you destroyed all science books and knowledge, in a few generations they would all be rewritten.

    If you destroyed all religions, in a few generations you’d have completely new religions.

      A few generations? I think you’re massively underestimating the combined effort required to get us to where we are now. Our society is built upon thousands of years of discoveries and progress.

          There’s nothing wrong with correcting people even if they understand the point. Especially with so huge of an error.
