A little over two thousand years ago our forefathers discovered a way to advance human progress on this fruitful earth. They called the way science, coming from the Greek word meaning knowledge. Knowledge pays off.
Science is the key to human betterment, individually and as a society.
Maybe not even all science teachers. Some critics go further to claim that science and technology have failed us. Pollution is out of hand. Overpopulation threatens to destroy us. Natural resources are giving out.
