In the ages of man, especially in the years BCE, scientists
have discovered many truths. Prior to previous beliefs, we now believe, we now
know for sure, that the earth is round, that it is not the center of the
universe, that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, that everything
is made up of atoms and molecules, that living things carry their biological
heritage in their DNA, that planes can fly and so can bees, and what goes up
must come down. We thank Galileo, Newton, Crick, and so many others who used
what we now call “scientific methods” for discovering these things.
We’ve come to trust the truths, confirmed again and again,
that scientific methods uncover for us. Why doesn’t President Trump? Why does
he doubt global warming and man’s part in it? Why does he question verified truths
of various kinds? Doesn’t he believe the world is round?
