Hehe. I get it. But it's not really true. It's like saying a horse evolved into a car or an Ox into a tractor. Just because it replaced it or did the same job doesn't mean it's related or the initial thing didn't go away. Alchemy is putting together random substances to create gold. Chemistry is backed by science and rooted in reality. It's probably closer related to cooking (where you also mix substances) than to alchemy ๐Ÿ˜‰ Pseudoscience didn't do away, but I'm positive alchemy did.
