We need to educate our humanity so that we can correct our concepts about the universe. We must rely on science to help us interpret the incoming evidence because science itself is self-correcting. One of the biggest problems in science is that science has a deficit in being able to effectively communicate the scientific information to the uneducated general public and this is a known fact. As a result of this, religion, spirituality and pseudoscience has infiltrated the public knowledge because of its parsimony, ease of access and appeal to popular superstitions. Coexisting harmoniously is possible if we have a tool to separate the sense from the nonsense, but can only be achieved if we communicate effectively as well. Science is our pioneering tool at the present moment and has taken us farther in our knowledge about the universe in the past 100 years than any other tool humanity has developed. Anyone who justifies another claim refuting science would have to provide the necessary and sufficient evidence. We as scientists must be creative to do so, and so I post this to try and motivate people to generate creative ways to approach this problem. Only together, as brothers and sisters, can we move effectively and progress one step forward towards the epistemology of humanity.
