But I agree with the article, media tends to hype up new discoveries and often isn't very careful with the wordings to reflect that these are working theories and not the final word in the matter. More responsible scientists, when interviewed, are careful to qualify their statements with "we postulate that..." or "based on our current understanding...". Science is humble enough to realize that they don't have the big picture yet. woot! woot! first article ni Harmless :)

If only religions (and faith) was like that, it would probably be a better world to live in.
