Science is Awesome!

Just a quick "wow" from last night's Daily Show:

Neil deGrasse Tyson: "When you are on the frontier of knowledge between what is known and unknown, reaching out into that abyss, sometimes you do actually have to make stuff up that might be true so that you can organize a research plan to find out whether or not it is."

Jon Stewart: "That's fascinating. A false bridge that will allow you just a couple of footholds to possibly find the truth."

Neil de Grasse Tyson: "This is the creativity of discovery that not everyone has, but those who do, all of society follows them into those directions."

Now for my own mini-rant: Religion has not, cannot, nor will it ever produce anything meaningful, the way science can. It doesn't have the capacity, because god(s) don't exist. Yes, at one point gods might've been a good hypothesis (stuff made up that might be true), but so far the research plan has come up with nothing.
