If every trace of any single religion were wiped out and nothing were passed on, it would never be created exactly that way again. There might be some other nonsense in its place, but not that exact nonsense. If all of science were wiped out, it would still be true and someone would find a way to figure it all out again.

Summary

This quote highlights the fundamental difference between religious beliefs and scientific knowledge. It suggests that if all records and traces of any particular religion were erased, it would be highly unlikely for that religion to be recreated exactly in the same way due to its subjective and often irrational nature. In contrast, the quote asserts that if all scientific knowledge were eradicated, the truths of the physical world would still hold true and eventually, through human curiosity and reasoning, someone would rediscover and reconstruct those scientific discoveries.
