Science is very well aware of how little it knows, thank you.

Religion, on the other hand, believes that it has all the answers when
in fact it knows absolutely nothing.

"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting
to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we
know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we
know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown
unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know."

That is THE Rumsfeld? No idea about him concerning other matters. But that
quote is true.

I'm not saying it's untrue. Nor am I saying it's true. There are those
untruths that we don't know are truthful.

Here're some more for ya:

ROFL... so this "Chicken" found a "corn".... No idea if this saying even
translates into english....

"Jedes Huhn findet mal ein Korn".

It does. If my German isn't *too* rusty, it translates into "every
chicken occasionally finds a grain [of corn]." It relates to the
English saying that "even broken clocks are right twice a day."

Yet religious fruitcakes think they know everything, including where

Mystics are baffled by the obvious yet possess a complete
understanding of the nonexistent.

share that hubris. Everything you know is wrong. Science has just

Every scienctist knows that we know next to nothing. Every answer we
get usually creates a dozen more questions, and those questions, when
answered, spawn new lines of research.

I can say with some confidence that our answers stand up to scrutiny,
and have materially improved life here on Earth.

We and science have a vast future, I want to know what science is
going to be like in a million years. That is what I dream of.

Nice dream, but it is very possible that intelligence may turn out not to
be a viable survival mechanism in the long term.
