[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1393765, member: 20599"] Science is about hypothesis, testing the hypothesis, analyzing the results and seeing whether they support the hypothesis, or not. It's not about faith, or preaching. Sometimes new facts, new discoveries, or new research tools expand the scope of what we know, to an extent that changes in scientific theory are warranted. I'm currently reading about the new CRISPR technology, or gene editing, with equal degree of fascination and fear. In my several years of study, as well as following this area, it's become clear that science more often goes off track to chase profit than to chase ideology, and that this is most prevalent in the area of pharmaceutical and medical devices. Honestly, think about the changes that science and technology have brought in the past 100 years, and where we would be without those. If you need to re-discover your sense of "faith" about science, watch October Sky, Never Cry Wolf, or the great new movie Hidden Figures. We would be saluting Putin today* if not for science's contribution to the cold war. *some say we are, but that's another story and I don't want to get this locked [/QUOTE]
