That's a feature! If you want to be certain, you need religion, not science.

And of course, the people concerned with tracking near-earth asteroids are not connected in any way with cosmology.

what? no. religion is not certain which is evidenced by the numerous sects of christianity with their own interpretations of the same book.

while science might not have a definitive answer for everything, they distinguish from fact and theory.

> religion is not certain

Ask any religious person if their religion teaches truth or lie, then ask them if that truth is the absolute truth. We'll wait.

just because you tell me water is not wet does not make it dry. also, the cool thing "about science is it doesn't need you to believe in it" or however the quote goes

[kloop]

Sure, but they didn't say correctness, they said certainty

[dylan604]

There are people certain the earth is flat, the moon landings were fake. That certainty doesn't impress me. So I'm just really not sure what the point is.

[tsimionescu]

The point was that science doesn't allow for certainty, by construction. We're not certain the sun will rise tomorrow, we're not certain the speed of light is a limit, we're not certain that F=ma or that E=mc².

Those that want certainty have to look to religion, or to pseudoscience. And they will certainly be wrong.

> no. religion is not certain

Religion allows for certainty. Science does not. Faith versus reason.
