These people miss the whole point of science. Science is about understanding the world around us, and understanding ourselves. Science describes the world. It says how nature works, from our own bodies, to tiny particles, to the entire Earth and larger, and how each is connected. Even more, science gives us predictions of what will happen in certain circumstances.
Science is also about discovery.
Every year, new theories are made to explain natural occurrence, some replacing older theories, some with completely new ideas and solutions to problems that hadn't been thought of before. All of these are new ways of looking at the world. The scientists, programmers, and researchers who work at the San Diego Supercomputer Center use supercomputers and high-end graphics workstations in their daily work. Using these tools, they explore structures so small they can never be seen by the naked eye.
