And so too with scientists.
For example, many scientists do not accept Darwin's claims.
yes and your claim is that one guy out of hundreds proves that they knew about the brain, here i am showing you that there's another guy who disagrees, in fact the majority of people during that time disagree with your one guy.
Aristotle was wrong about a great many things. Who isn't except Jesus?
who cares if he was wrong? this is nothing but a red herring.
For example, Aristotle tended towards uniformitarianism.
irrelevant
Still, Aristotle was right about most things.
yes and he disproves your claims, about the brain.
The First Cause of motion in the universe for example.
who cares?
What are you talking about?
well its good to know one thing, you are totally ignorant of what pythagoras was doing in egypt, so basically you just found a website that spews this argument about pythagoras and believe it.
So you claim to know more about the life of Pythagoras than Diogenes Laertius?
i read what diogenes laertus wrote about pythagoras and what people thought of the pythagoreans
plus the fact is most of what was written about him is either lies or fabrications, most historians question most of the stuff attributed to pythagoras or the pythagoreans, being that there is evidence of fabrication.
oh and you fail at providing me evidence the eyptians or the babylonians believed the brain was the source of emotion or thought, since you have no clue what Herodotos was saying about the pythagoreans, i can reject all your quotes since they aren't related to each other.
in case you forgot Herodotos believed them to be a cult and pythagoras went to egypt to be taught the priests philosophy about the world, including embalming
your claims ring false even so since the quote from herodotos is about embalming!
The idea that Pythagoras wrote such a Sacred Discourse seems to arise from a misreading of the early evidence. Herodotus says that the Pythagoreans agreed with the Egyptians in not allowing the dead to be buried in wool and then asserts that there is a sacred discourse about this (II. 81). Herodotus' focus here is the Egyptians and not the Pythagoreans, who are introduced as a Greek parallel, so that the Sacred Discourse to which he refers is Egyptian and not Pythagorean, as similar passages elsewhere in Book II of Herodotus show (e.g., II. 62; see Burkert 1972a, 219).
from
Pythagoras (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) (i don't have any qualms about quoting my sources)
your willingness to quote-mine makes all the other things you say even less believable
your quote from diogenes laertius is questionable at best when we have no writings from pythagoras, so how suspect is the quote you give?
could you perhaps show some evidence for your claims and not more "nuh-uh" posts that add nothing to the discussion? or should we just go with the conclusion that you base your arguments on bias and hot air?
since it seems effort to produce evidence is beyond you other than bluster of course.
