Believe it or not: The battle over certainty

Believe it or not: The battle over certainty. A nice column by Lisa Jardine, a historian, on how science is not about certainty. She describes how creationists who demand science to ‘prove’ evolution are barking up the wrong tree, and that (more pressingly) we can’t wait for ‘certain proof’ of pending disasters like global warming before taking action. “We are going to have to learn how to participate in debates which are not about certainties.”
