I hope you all know that the scientists don't know what the heck they're talking about. Their ever changing assumptions about what is happening in a truly enormous universe are based on their base assumptions about what things like shifts in light spectra mean. You will note there is always some mysterious unexplained factor such as "dark energy" or "dark matter" that must exist to explain what they think their observations mean. Did you all know that beta carotene has been shown NOT to fight cancer and is now believed to enhance some cancers? How many years did scientists tell you the opposite?

Your point does not escape me, but don't forget it was scientists who put a man on the moon, and scientists who discovered antibiotics, and scientific endeavors which have led to many improvements. There are of course many failures along the way and even some foolishness, nevertheless I'm glad they're out there.

While the "final answer" to all scientific inquiry might be nice, the journey towards it is just as interesting and enlightening.
