I think you'll find that we're all pro-science on this side of the argument.
WHY DOESN'T ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING BAD TO SAY ABOUT TRYING TO TURN LEAD INTO GOLD USING DISTILLED PISS?

It was done because they believed
it was possible.
Who are we to argue against ancient beliefs? It is not their fault that they hadn't discovered as much as us yet.
And as you say, it lead to modern chemistry ;)

I pointed out where chemistry came from and you described how it evolved.

Chemistry came from alchemy.
If some nutter hadn't tried to turn lead into gold using their piss, we wouldn't be where we are today.
But still they shouldn't have bothered, it's all a load of bollocks.

Superglue was invented by accident
So were twisties, they're nice.
Sure, we don't have to go around sucking on cow's tits to see what comes out anymore, but we're naturally inquisitive. That's how we move forward as a species.
Why would you try and discourage this?
