it is impossible to learn all science now as d scope is getting wider every now and then

well I noticed that quite a portion of public just take everything around them for granted without having to consider or appreciate the role the science played in creating them, e.g. electronic stuffs, technology,
for example one might post on lowyat with his computer and internet access yet he claimed science is rubbish.

at first I can't believe the fact that there is still human that don't believe in science.
one of the reason that give rise to this situation, i think, is the failure of education.
what is being taught is just not enough.
in science text one is never taught 'you must believed in what you learn in your science classes'
they just learn it like any other subjects, such as moral?
learning it doesn't mean necessary to practice it,
and too little they get to learn in school,
what they learnt are just simple facts, which I think is not enough powerful enough to establish science as the central believe in them.
to them science might just as well be like religion,
and you can choose between different ones to believe in and practice.

we have to emphasize more on d structure and also nature of science, besides learning all the vital components of it,
we have to teach our man the real meaning of science and differentiate it from religion and other teaching,
and show them that science is the real truth, and establish a correct set of scientific-based 'logic' in their mind.
only then our man will be cleared of the mist and confusion that trapped them in the false beliefs.
