Nay... I have a feeling that a good fraction of the people don't know that. Without getting too philosophical, we study and teach science to learn and get people to learn how things work - finding a theory and an explanation that 1) explains what has been observed, and 2) can predict future outcomes. But whether people accept science, it's a choice, isn't it?
I quote Michael Dewar, the famous organic chemist who worked on aromaticity:
i.e. There is no right or wrong. Then, whether people choose to accept it or not, and why they do or do not, is a whole different ball game.

Quote:The question, "Is it true?" is meaningless in science. The correct question to ask is "Does it work?"
