People at that time were very naiv of the risks of medicines, even using the newly discovered Radium in all kinds of medicines and other applications, completely unaware of the risks of radiation. This added to the complete freedom without control of the companies that could develop these products, only testing if it worked to sell them, without having long-term tests. Late consequences did not matter to them at all, they counted immediate gains.
In Spain and general in the EU only for medicines that do not require a prescription. But you can only buy medicines in the Pharmacy, all other businesses, supermarkets, drugstores and parapharmacies can sell natural products, herbs, food supplements, cosmetics and vitamin preparations, etc.
Evolution is a fact, the real argument is actually biogenesis. Did life originate from a soup, or was it all part of a grand design.
The old argument, is that the complexity of life is so great that it isn’t reasonable to believe that it could have happen naturally. Although realistically, there’s no true scientific way to prove it did or didn’t. It’s all theory
Personally I don’t think so, to me life looks to rigidly structured to be random. Too complex, too many if’s in the way the Earth has to be just right. MAYBE it could be random but design actually seems more likely to me. Then again, though, people shape there world view to better fit around there personal identities. No one is without bias in that.
