Discovering science: Similarly, scientists are always questioning their data: both the data that supports their own conclusions and the data that doesn’t. I was disgusted by a Fox news clip implying that science was untrustworthy because scientists were questioning their theories. Of course they’re questioning their theories. That’s what scientists are supposed to do; that’s how science makes progress. But it doesn’t mean that those theories aren’t the most accurate models we have about how the world, and the universe itself, are put together. If we’re going to understand our world, and our impact on that world, we had better base our understanding on data and use the best models we have.
