History is so interesting.

The Wright Brothers
tried to destroy their
plane out of fear that
God would punish
them for mimicking
birds.

This is fake news... We know this because birds aren't real. I'll bet you are one of those round earthers, yeah?

This is a common misconception. Only Orville wanted to destroy the plane out of fear that God would punish them for mimicking birds (the power of flight). Wilbur wanted to destroy the plane out of fear that God would punish them for NOT mimicking birds (using fixed wings instead of flapping). They agreed that their invention was a mockery of nature, but they differed on exactly why.
