when scientific enquiry works toward finding an answer to a riddle then i give it full marks.

it is refreshing to see that there are those in the scientific community that will pursue a mystery and not draw conclusions without fact.

Shit happens.

too often science acts like a dogmatic religion by denying the possibility of something if it has the potential to upset some pre-existing doctrine.

science works by allowing free inquiry.

it fails when it expects faithful obedience.

and yes, shit happens.

Science is still young in the scope of things. A lot of it and ourselves will be better understood in another five hundred years.

You may not be here, but I will be.
