Someone explain to me what half of these questions have to do with science.

When I said manuscripts I meant primary sources (things written by people at the event). In history, primary sources are like raw data to scientists. I suppose things written a generation later or something would be equivalent to scientists looking at other people's data and reinterpreting it. To remind you, the Scientific Method is

1) Observation/Question
2) Hypothesis (a guess at why it happens)
3) Prediction (what data / primary sources would I need to see to prove me right?)
4) Experiment (get data / primary sources)
5) Conclusion (do the data / primary sources compare with my prediction?)
