can't call myself a "believer", per se, but I can tell you that I've often wondered how science went from, "oh, this is what a virus is" in 1890ish to, "here's TV, fiber optic communications, nuclear technology, the internet, supersonic speed, space travel, etc." in like 60-70 years.

There was an interesting show on the History Channel about twenty years ago, "Connections" that linked all the miraculous inventions in history and how each enabled the next.

Guys like Edison, Tesla, Einstein were on a different level. Maybe "ET" was kept in their basement.
