George Curvier was a naturalist who proved that all the fossils found are not related to the present day species of the different organisms. He studied the woolly mammoths and then, compared these fossils to the modern-day elephants and then found that they are not similar. He based on these observations concluded that many species existed on Earth which are not present anymore as they got extinct. Based on this comparison method of the Curvier it can be said that the scientific ideas are made by comparing the past and present organisms.

Hence, the answer is 'scientific ideas are made by comparing the past and present organisms'.

Why is it incorrect to say the insulation 'keeps out the cold'
Sonja [21]
Because technically there is no such thing as cold
all that exists is heat
this is because heat is the rapid movement of particles, made by friction (to understand why you must delve into physics and some chemistry)
so, when you feel cold, it's really the absence of heat
so instead of "keeping the cold out", which makes no sense at all scientifically, insulation keeps the heat in.

as a side note
the feeling of cold is produced when you come in contact with an object (yes, air counts) that has less heat, or energy, than you do, You feel cold because heat (energy) from your body is being transferred to the environment. This ABSENCE OF HEAT in your body is why you feel cold
