Yuval Harari, #author of big science history books 'Sapiens' & 'Homo Deus', has just posted this on his Instagram (pic w/ alt txt below).

I don't usually get annoyed by generalisations, but...

I wrote a short #refutation of this #claim that #science is "far more imaginative" than #mythology & "didn't predict black holes or atoms" here:

Tl:dr: Many scientific theories can be traced back to mythology & creation myths are there to ask questions science is answering.

This is a png from a post by Yuval Noah Harari posted on the 15.07.2025 on his Instagram.

It states white on blue: "Science is far, far more imaginative, far more wild, far more surprising than any mythology that humans ever managed to create."
