Trusting Science

OK, so I admit that this gif made me laugh:

But with the recent eclipse, I am reminded of something nonsensical that I heard a preacher say once, it was around the time of a total solar eclipse, and the individual said that the eclipse was a supernatural event, because if it had been natural, it would have become dark and continued that way, without ever becoming light again,

I am confidentbthat readers of this blog will recognize that assertion to be not merely unfounded but nonsensical.

Science gives us information and explanatory frameworks that we can rely on. It is foolish to pretend otherwise. Science cannot answer all questions, but applied to subjects to which it is applicable, it tends to give answers which are as reliable as possible.
