What was really driven home for me in this chapter is really how smart the people were that believed in this stuff and worked with this stuff. Now we shrug it off as nonsense and magic and as I have been reading I have for the most part not really put the thought into it about who was really dealing with wonders. Yet in this chapter as it is laying out the documentation and the reasons for certain changes in explanation of wonders and also telling a little more about what was going on at the time. It really makes me wonder what will future generations think about us and read about what fascinates and helps define the world we live in that no longer makes sense to them.
