    What you mean to say is scientists are testing the “tried and true” practices of people, practices that were rooted in reality like make crop grow, and are finding out that they actually were good at growing things? Or that many stories were actually about historic events like massive inland floods and not only vapid religious/cultural stories?

    There is definitely a massive, MASSIVE line between believing in the provable like that kind of stuff, and believing in magic sky daddies that grant wishes or rocks with souls.

      Yeah, I do understand where you’re coming from. Science is only now reconciling with the fact that white man knew very little about land and interconnectedness. The stories citing environmental events do have some sort of spiritual advice but not to the effect of Christianity and the like. if you don’t want to listen or prescribe a personal connection to indigenous stories they aren’t going to tell you you’re a horrible person or crucify non believers. There is a difference there, correct.
