It is humorous that so many individuals accept the teachings of those who were once considered "crazy" as laws of science (Newton, Galileo, etc.) but are unable to even entertain the ideas of one label as yet another "crazy". History does, in fact, repeat itself. Maybe not this time, but someday we will see technological advancements that blow our previous "laws" of science out of the water.
Take, for example, Darwinian evolution. It was once a plausible theory, but now most esteemed scientists vehemently oppose it's possibility. We need to start realizing that what we think we know now could very well be viewed as something as silly as using leaches to cure diseases.
