Making up "facts" and saying these dismissive things shows that you have no idea about science.
But let's see...
For every question that Science answers just raises a hundred more questions.
Where do you get this statistic?
When a
new area/regime is uncovered, a
new phenomenon discovered, a
new, promising theory which seems to *finally* explain something is put forth...in ALL.of these cases, there *naturally* arise a number of related questions.
This *has* to be so, because science is a
network of questions, facts, conjectures/theories, data/measurements, analyses, results/conclusions.
As a *network*, a change is noticed by people who are well-versed not only in the immediate area of study, but also of closely-related areas & even distant areas which might be affected by the implications of something happening elsewhere. As a surface analogue, when you strike one part of a drum head, the whole surface is affected.
Science has done some good things
True.
• You have houses & other buildings which can be proved to be capable of withstanding given loads, including specified earthquakes, winds, snows, etc.
• You can determine how to heat, cool, ventilate, humidify/de-humidify, and light/power and plumb your buildings.
• You can have transportation more reliable & convenient than walking.
• You have communication more convenient than in-person conversations and faster than traditional mail.
• You have foods which are more hardy, etc., and which can be found fresh, locally, or stored via canning or freezing.
• You have tools & machines which help in performing many tasks--mowing lawns, building the houses, washing clothes, etc., etc., etc.
• And you (likely) are using one of the most amazing tools right now to read and respond/react to this posting...
Science has allowed MANY amazing things to happen.
however just because they answered a few questions does not make them God as they are viewed these days.
I think you mewn scientists, but the anti-knowledge, anti-education, anti-thinking aspect of the last few years has really changed the notion of giving persons with actual knowledge of/training in/experience with some area their due.
I never thought scientists were viewed as "God"...except for a few with oversized egos. lol
One just has to read 'Experts' about this new Monkey Pox. We don't know, maybe this maybe that need more data, (to keep the grant money flowing) however we should proceed with an abundance of caution.
In short, Science knows nothing.
To proceed
"with an abundance of caution" IS the proper, conservative response to a disease either newly-discovered or newly found in a new species.
Experts are expert only in what is ALREADY known; they may try to project into the future, and even offer initial guidelines--very conservative guidelines!--for what people probably should do while the new disease is investigated.
For discoveries where health and safety are involved, this makes sense.
I'm sorry if your conception of "expert" has been, "they must be experts in every new thing, immediately", because that is simply not possible.
And so, likewise, people rushing to make pronouncements without data are typically fools. Science isn't often instantaneous.
