Strangeness of Science

Prof. Richard Dawkins says that there is strangeness of sciences. He gives a wide explanations and examples from atom to “make believe” computer games of that queerness. Why we only breathe through our lung? Why there are neurons in our brain? The point is why there is strangeness? Is it because we live in this unique universe, so every thing is special? Or is it because we can not find the answer, and we just decide to make an assumption to it.

I definitely agree with Prof. Dawkins that all that strangeness is required in order to primitive selection. Animals only need food to survive, but human need more than that. We need our brain and all the supporting system to survive. If we only have a simple brain likes monkeys’ brains, we maybe still live in a cave. Maybe we turn out to be vegetarian and do not how to cook our food. In fact, we know how to use our brain and create a civilization.

From the beginning there is a substantial different between us and other creatures. We can stand up, walk with two legs, speak, think, have friends, and improve our life. Some of the creatures maybe can stand up and walk, some may not move at all. Can they speak? Can they make their life better? Only human that has been created with those highest skills, so we have to use it properly to find the meaning of our life and not just dream about it.
