2) great thinkers are often wrong.


....
What? That doesn't even make sense. And No Science does not say man evolved from monkeys, it says that humans (homo sapiens sapiens), bonobos, chimpanzees and great apes evolved from a common ancestor.

Yes glaciation happened, there is clear evidence.

Evolution is dependent on two things mutations and environment.
Weather does not play into evolution, long term climate might.

and none of this particularly has to do with the topic at hand.

I don't think anyone every claimed great thinkers were completely consistent.

I'm not even very sure what the h*ll you are trying to say.
