ÔÇ£Science is more than a body of knowledge, its a way of thinking. A way of sceptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask sceptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be sceptical of those in authority, then we're uip for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along.

ÔÇ£Treat the earth well: it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children. We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children.ÔÇØ
ÔÇ£Wisdom comes only when you stop looking for it & start living the life the creator intended for youÔÇØ
