FICTION.

Experiments like this one (two group pre-test/post/test designs) are occasionally performed today, but are minimally valid because of their lack of a control group. It appears as though there was no random allocation too. So any outcomes could easily be due to other variables. Warning: I’m going to read into this a little too much:

But I agree, it is presumptuous to call it the "first" just because it's in the Bible. Actually, the first controlled experiment was with Adam and Eve and the apple.
