Why Do We Need Science?

Science is the most powerful investigative mechanism that mankind has ever produced, but a lot of people don't get that; they consider it to be just about as useful as pure guesswork. When I try to explain it to them, many throw up their hands and claim it's too complicated, or point out science has been wrong before.

I can kind of understand their position, because many times advanced science is very complication and jargony. That's why I made this video, to try to get people to understand just exactly what science is and why it's so important. Specifically, in this instance, I'm using medicine and alternative medicine to examine the way science works in a context people can understand.

Also I think alternative medicine is a joke that deserves to be ridiculed with as much venom as can be spent.
