Science Can't Tell You Why Anything Happens.

For Our Own Species, Evolution Occurs Mostly Through Our Behavior. We Innovate New Behavior To Adapt.

It Is Especially Difficult For Modern People To Conceive That Our Modern, Scientific Age Might Not Be An Improvement Over The Prescientific Period.

Finally, I Would Remind You To Notice Where The Claim Of Consensus Is Invoked. Consensus Is Invoked Only In Situations Where The Science Is Not Solid Enough. Nobody Says The Consensus Of Scientists Agrees That E=mc2. Nobody Says The Consensus Is That The Sun Is 93 Million Miles Away. It Would Never Occur To Anyone To Speak That Way.

That Is The Danger We Now Face. And This Is Why The Intermixing Of Science And Politics Is A Bad Combination, With A Bad History. We Must Remember The History, And Be Certain That What We Present To The World As Knowledge Is Disinterested And Honest.

It's Better To Die Laughing Than To Live Each Moment In Fear.
