History and Science

[Magnus]

You know, I really f**king hate when you type out a well thought out post...then go to use the spell check, then you get asked for your username and password, so you type it in, then your post is lost.

Computers suck crap. Here's my basic gist:

Scientists have more room for innovation because they are limited only by their imagination...historians are guided more by what the historical record has shown us. The rest is all interpretation, which one must be careful doing by looking closely at the existing evidence.
