Not that nonscientists are not curious; most people possess this characteristic. The scientist, however, uses a specific method to make researches into these enigmatic problems--the scientific method.
Unfortunately, science and its method are misunderstood. The multiplication of our knowledge in medicine and technology has led to idea that science can cure all and explain all and that only enough time, money and intelligence are needed. In truth, science can’t provide all answers. In fact, many phenomena are not even subject to scientific explanations.
