It occured to me, watching a similar themed show on TV this morning, that alot of people walk around this country, at least, with absolutely no idea how science works. Many more actually actively doubt some or all aspects of science: some of our favorite topics, for example, including evolution, the greenhouse effect, the missile shield...

I never "doubt" science, especially not for religious reasons, but I think it's important that we don't fully accept it, and instead are slighly skeptical like (most of) the scientists themselves. Some people accept just about every scientific theory as a fact (until it's disproven). They talk about quantum mechanics or evolutionary theories without knowing what the hell they are. They don't realise that this is against the spirit of science.

Nobody likes to say they don't believe we landed on the moon (well, I guess there a few here who do) but plenty of folks hold their religious dogma in ascendency over the scientific paradigm. What about you? Do you doubt science?
