This is a bit 'Merica-centric, but science is the toolkit you need to test empirical truth. It works and if you replace it with dogma you lose.

Now there is a man who should be running America, not that buffoon Cheeto with a wig on.

Scary seeing all the science denial going on in the world, evolution, climate change, conspiracy theorists even flat earthers.

 

I'd book myself on the first flight to a moon or martian colony, if i could afford it, a colony on another planet would have to be science embracing right?

 

Knowing my luck i'd end up wherever the fundamentals travel to to restart their religions, like the pilgrims heading for America.

Oh, I don't know. If people meekly accepted the wisdom handed down by "the wise ones" we'd still be in thrall to the church and thinking that the universe rovolved around the Earth. Scepticism is healthy. Particularly when some of the science is driven by massive vested interests.

I was informed midby my daughter over the weekend that the lyrics of taylor swift's "blank space" song  contain the line "got a long list of ex lovers" rather than the "god bless starbucks lovers" that i had always sung previously to that point. I didn't believe her, but she is right,

For some reason that posted before i was finished. It was a genuine question chinahand. Is there a scientific reason for me miss-hearing those lyrics? Because now i know the actual line is "got a long list of ex lovers" it sounds like nothing else

That's nothin. That Steve Winwood song where he sings, "Bring me a higher love!", I used to think he was singing, "Bake me a higher loaf!"
