Answer:
It is better for science and progression to challenge the traditional authority.
Explanation:
For centuries, people believed the earth was at the center of the universe, and Copernicus challenged that. He was hung, but science progressed significantly because of his ideology. The protestant reformation, started by Martin Luther was a major challenge to the authority of religion and law of the time, the Catholic church. However, it led to the mass colonization of the Americas, and completely new ways of thinking about religion. The next example I would point to is Galileo, another example of science prevailing over religion. Galileo Galilei discovered a lot about astronomy that challenged the Catholic church's teachings, and so was persecuted. In conclusion, challenging traditional authority is not usually easy, and doesn't turn out well for the person doing it, but almost always has a good outcome for the world.
