  1. I believe this formulation from science that you can be 100% wrong, but never 100% right is an intellectual con game.

    What science is doing is keeping room for continuous improvement to its ‘theories’. New information and evidence always comes up. This btw is not a justification for cynicism regarding science but realizing we can always learn more, work more - more thinking to do.

  2. Like to put in my 2 cents with in this post. Here is a quote from Natalie Angier, a science journalist, from her book The Canon, “Science is uncertain because scientists really can’t prove anything, irrefutably and beyond a neutrino of a doubt, and they don’t even try. Instead, they try to rule out competing hypotheses, until the hypothesis they’re entertaining is the likeliest explanation, within a very, very small margin of error – the tinier, the better.” I do think that science does not try to be a religion. There is always a door open for you to disprove something.
