Gaze in awe, my beloved readers, as we march backwards in time inspecting the majestic Parade Of No-Can-Do:
2015: "You can't honestly believe that people all over the world will ever figure out that religion is made up of illusions, and just give it up."
1880: "You can't honestly believe that someday people will orbit the moon and walk on it and then return to Earth."
1840: "You can't honestly believe that you can design a machine that will fly through the air with you riding it and not kill yourself."
1500: "You can't honestly believe that you can harness the power of steam to to run mills and ships."
800: "You can't honestly believe that someday people all over the world will give up their slaves because they believe that owning other people is wrong."
1000 BC: "You can't honestly believe that someday women will rule entire nations."
20,000 BC: "You can't honestly believe you can get on a horse's back and ride it around and make it go where you want to go."
4,000,000 BC: "You can't honestly believe that you can make a sharp stick and use it to kill animals that are bigger and stronger than we are."
1,000,000,000 BC "You can't honestly believe that someday our descendants will climb up out of the water and live somewhere else."
