I hope you're not arguing that this "open-minded / imaginative approach hasn't been tried for centuries, because that's pretty much all that was tried until 500 or 600 years ago. So what would you list as the five major bits of useful knowledge that has come from the Centuries of Woo? - - -...

Just because we have access, doesn't mean we approach or interpret this information the same way. How many times have I heard an theist say, " You don't believe in God? Just look a that tree!" as though the presence of the tree somehow is automatically a point for a creator. What I see is...
