Science also needs to become a cultural spectator sport, where non-scientists can enjoy the picture that science gives of how the world works. The difference between science and the arts, though, is that in science the act of creation is an integral part of the picture itself. It is this act that we often hide when we give our simplified explanations and examples. The reality of living science lies in such mental processes, which make its progress more like the flow and development of music than the stillness of a portrait. At the deepest level, such processes lead to new beliefs about the nature of the world, almost akin to religious beliefs.
Religion is an integral part of our culture.
So should science be.
