  Enlighten me. Science can always be recreated. Which knowledge is needed from history that cannot be created in a scientific way?

  Science was created for a time when knowledge was insecure because it was tainted with superstition.

    Nah. Define your axioms like I said. If you won’t, you can’t.

      As you noted, I rephrased your words. We are not talking about my axioms. It doesn’t make sense to define tainted if that is not what you mean.

      Still, your point seems to be that definition of words require history. You can have that form of history. The context is just that history is rewritten and I argue that that can be compensated with science.

        Can? How? Go read any intro book on epistemology. You are talking out of your ass and it’s disrespectful to everyone that actually takes knowledge and human progress seriously.
