Science is not perfect.
It can be misused.
It is only a tool.
But it is by far the best tool we have, self-correcting, ongoing, applicable to everything. It has two rules.
First: there are no sacred truths; all assumptions must be critically examined; arguments from authority are worthless.
Second: whatever is inconsistent with the facts must be discarded or revised. ... The obvious is sometimes false; the unexpected is sometimes true.
Carl Sagan
