Science


True science can accomplish miracles.  As a perfect example of this, witness the above pictures of the arrangements of the atoms in various molecules (from the "riddit" website).  These pictures were taken with an electronic microscope and show the atomic topology and chemical bonds (covalent, ionic, etc.) that actually exist in these molecular structures.

The drawings that appear next to these pictures were the theoretical topologies and bonds that scientists had determined decades before these pictures actually existed! Science clearly hit the nail right on the head through a series of prior experiments and inferences ... much like Watson and Crick did in determining the structure of DNA.

Too bad that many of our world's climate "scientists" are not quite so perspicacious.
