Reply #134: If people really believe in science then they will accept that knowledge is always on the move

[TheKentuckian]

What seems fundamental and logical today may turn out to be tomorrow's myth. Our discovery is always in motion and every answer creates new and more challenging questions.

The best theories can turn out to be incorrect as more data churns up and proofs can certainly be quite workable but may not reflect what is really going on. If you don't keep that kind of open mindedness with you all the time you start to slip away from science towards belief.

OF COURSE what we are teaching the kids is either incomplete data, theory, educated guesses, speculation, and probably at some levels erroneous. For all intents and purposes we are at the beginning of knowledge, far closer to children asking why the sky is blue than knowledgeable professors.
