Science arouses a soaring sense of wonder. But so does pseudoscience.
Science is more than a body of knowledge.
It is a way of thinking. Science is different from many another human enterprise . It is the particular task of scientists, I believe, to alert the public to possible dangers, especially those emanating from science or foreseeable through the use of science. Such a mission is, you might say, prophetic. Claims that cannot be tested, assertions immune to disproof, are veridically worthless.
