Can They Be Reconciled?

             Where do humans come from? This question has been asked for many years and there is still no answer yet.

So from what Galileo said we understand that we can belief what theories says about human origin because we didn't see it by ourselves and we didn't experiment it even if there are a lot of evidences, but we can not prove it. Also, some times the scientists themselves see that their own observation and proofs are wrong. Galileo writes " to command that the very professors of astronomy themselves see to the refunding of...
