The very idea of science has been challenged from Da Vinci to the present day, so I am glad he is still with us
Eleanor Roosevelt writing about science:
Either science will control us or we will control it. That is the sum and substance of the matter. By becoming its master we can build the kind of world we want to have. Nothing can stop us but inaction, lack of imagination, lack of courage, and lack of trained knowledge.
In the very near future, in some cases even today, we see that an enlightened and imaginative use of scientific knowledge, and a constant extension of that knowledge into the unknown, impinges upon almost every element of our lives. Its effect will be felt in our economy, in the food we eat, in our physical health and well-being.
