Yes, is it not amazing how far out in left field science will go to avoid our inability to think any higher than mere mortal man? Humility is the perfect word, yes.

What are you urging here, surrender to ignorance? Science stumbles and bumps its way, converging upon an ever-better understanding of the universe.

Somehow, this bothers some of you unduly. I need to explain that. You're not upset that science has to revise the picture, but that it's clearly getting somewhere. On FR, there's lots of cheering for the gaps, rooting for ignorance. In fact, our ignorance is routinely exaggerated to avoid dealing with facts that have been established for well over a century. A strange position!

It seems to me that the humble ones would be the ones still looking for answers -- the scientists.
