Oh man...first the guys from ISIS, and now Trafalgar? Ugh....
It doesn't matter what some scientists may have believed or not, particularly in the past, prior to the mountains of evidence and facts that were not yet discovered or understood. I think that meaningless list is quoted under the definition of "red herring."
Supernatural beliefs do not matter one bit and do not deserve any respect...or do you respect ISIS beliefs, too? Imaginary magic does not explain anything, and all of it is continuously debunked. Verifiable evidence and facts, regardless of beliefs, form the foundations of the natural explanations for everything around us, not the magic that the ignorant prefer. Nice and simple magic did everything! Ta da, no school required!
Stand by for the explanation of the origin of life. It wasn't very long ago that we discovered that all species evolved and continue to evolve all the time. Only the hopelessly ignorant dispute evolution anymore. People waited a long time for the discovery and development of lift, jet propulsion and GPS...so hang on a bit longer before giving up and relying upon imaginary magic to explain the things you don't understand.
