Of course science doesn't have all the answers. Science continues to look for answers. If it pretended to have all the answers, it would no longer have the honesty that I've come to love and expect from it. The openness and truthfulness that allow science to keep on looking for answers differentiates it from demogogy, religion, politics, and superstition. --J. R. -----Original Message-----
