They even invented "Dark Matter" (atleast 85% of all matter) and "Dark 
Energy" (atleast 90% of all energy) to explain the mysterious forces 
holding the universe together. My goodness, it's "The Force" from Star 
Wars. Why are they trying to kid. When I took astronomy, I almost 
laughed. Indeed, a straight forward look at the universe puts us near 
the center of a wheel, within a wheel, within a wheel, within a wheel, 
formed into bubbles spiraling around one gigantic center of mass. It's 
perfect in every way! Imagine that. Almost like it was designed.

Science answers alot of questions: Where do diseases come from? What is 
that rock made of?
Science has alot of guesses as well: Where do we come from? Why do we 
look like we do?

Science is a tool. Facts are facts. But interpretation is everyting, and 
right now the public education is doing the interpreting.
