Science is truth, not opinion; and science can be verified by anyone, of any race or religion

I should teach the world that science is truth, not opinion; and science can be verified by anyone, of any race or religion. Understanding science helps us to understand each other. With truth - as opposed to myth - comes rational enlightenment, which is vital for human peace, understanding and development.

I also wish that people could understand the statistics of chance, so that society would be driven by reason, not mad emotions. If 10,000 children are given a vaccine every year, and 100 children are diagnosed as being autistic every year, then it is certain that a mother will have the experience of her child developing autism shortly after being vaccinated. But the two phenomena need have no relationship with each other, in order for this to happen. If people understood why this is the case then society could be governed rationally.
