hi,
​
But history can not claim the ceritude of science as it deals with past events and motives.
​
History never ever claims certitude, and neither does science. There are similarities however. Historical and scientific hypotheses need to be falsifiable, any historical hypothesis that cannot be falsified is meaningless. For example, in regard to the discipline of history, 'God created the heavens and the earth' is a meaningless statement as it cannot be falsified.
​
Post renaissance historical enquiry requires falsifiable hypotheses, if a hypothesis cannot be proven false then it will become a theory, and a theory is as good as it gets in history and science. This is only one reason why the Bible is virtually useless as a source for reconstructing history, it contains too many pointless statements.
​
Brian.

you must accept that America today is a more achieving and thus intelligent nation then Great Britain.

It certainly isn't based on grammar and spelling!
