    That’s all very interesting, but i’m not sure what you’re trying to get at. I’ve already agreed that certain ideas are simple enough that they’re very likely to be thought of again, but is that enough to say that “so and so religion has re-appeared”? How close to their original counterparts do they have to be for you to consider them to be essentially the same?

    Because i’m fairly certain that save for minor discrepancies in areas that are more subjective, every field of science could re-emerge and get to the same state it’s in now simply by studying the world around us. And i don’t think the same can be said of religion. Do you genuinely believe that near perfect counterparts for all current religions would be formed again? Or at least to the same level that science could?
