I always find it amusing that science presumes to know how the universe began, but it has not yet figured out how to cure the common cold or predict the weather accurately. Perhaps it is easier to pretend to know something about something the average guy couldn't know anything about, because one simply cannot pretend to have found the cure for the common cold without being able to back that up with results.

But the big questions that are discussed here are more easily explained than the small ones (the common cold for example) by applying a scientific method involving mathematics within the parameters of strictly enforced physical laws.
Things like the common cold involve a greater element of randomness and then we get into chaos theory that frankly, makes my head approach critical mass.

No way to baffle the masses with BS by claiming to have found the cure for the common cold, is there? Good point.
