Science is a way to teach how something gets to be known, what is not
known, to what extent things are known (for nothing is known absolutely),
how to handle doubt and uncertainty, what the rules of evidence are,
how to think about things so that judgments can be made, how to distinguish
truth from fraud, and from show.
