Science & Philosophy would Come Back if Destroyed


"Destroy all religious books, and in a thousand years, they won't come back. But destroy all science books, and in a thousand years, they'll all be back-because all the same tests will get the same results."
-Ricky Gervais

While I agree with the sentiment that Ricky is conveying we also have to remember that any book, based on history or fiction, couldn't come back if all was destroyed. I also believe that, while the stories of the Bible would be lost to history, some of the philosophical lessons would come back in some shape or form in similar ways as science would.

"Do to others as you would have them do to you."
-Luke 6:31

The Golden Rule is a simple truth that any future Philosopher could rediscover. Similar to Science, which I agree would come back, Philosophy would also see a rebirth given the curiosity of the human mind.
