Khandro's link is supposedly about a scientist- who clearly isn't. From AB, it seems scientists are part-time at best...
Not important, just that the link posted makes no actual sense.
Certainly in engineering and from what I know most sciences, to understand the past, the present is examined to recreate the same result.
Plane crashes for example?
When the Comet jet crashed in the 1950's, another was put on a test bed and stressed to find out what failed.
They discovered metal fatigue around the Windows.
Is that a good example?
Atheists on here dismiss scientists like Stephen C Meyer of the Discovery Institute saying he has an agenda unworthy of scrutiny.
But he is where he is because that is where the science has led him.
I have never read his books but listened to a lot,of his and others lectures on YouTube, but being on YouTube does not negate the value of the lectures.
Try them yourself.
