Science is more than body of knowledge it's a way of thinking a way of sceptically interrogating the Universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility if we are not able to ask sceptical questions to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be sceptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan political or religious that comes ambling along it's a thing that Jefferson lay great stress on there wasn't enough said that to enshrine some rights in the constitution, or the bill of rights the people have to be educated and they have to practice their scepticism in their education otherwise we don't run the government the government runs us.
