A professor friend of mine, who's Masters is in Evolutionary Biology (he's also a Christian), posted this, and I thought it appropriate. Far too often, I've met people who seem to think that science is this sort of magical thing, where if you experiment with an object a certain way, the object will magically tell you all of the information of its origins, functions, etc. Science is far, far, FAR less certain than that.
Yes. Science spurns certainty entirely, at least since Descartes. Progress is predicated entirely on error and correction.
