Yes, the big majority of people from that time wouldn't even grasp the concept of our technology today. So we really should be humble, open minded and cautious with scientific facts, since "facts" can change over the course of time or changing significantly (or can be seen in a new light from new discoveries).

Also, we are not "just chemicals", since chemicals are made of particles that on a very low level are just energy. So we can be matter but also energy - both statements are true. Which leads to that phenomena, that there can be multiple answers that are equally true.
