The World is full of wonders.
But they become more wonderful, not less wonderful,
when science looks at them.
You may pick up a rock, and find
what is clearly a seashell in it.
And you may say: That is wonderful.
Indeed it is.
But it becomes more wonderful when you know
that it is 150 million years old
and was laid down at the bottom of the sea.
And science is full of those revelations.
How wonderful it is that water
can rise from the ground here
and come out from the top of these trees
behind me.
Science explains that.
It's more wonderful, not less.
