Beccs,
Really! I watched a documentary last evening about the brain where it was stated that we have gained more knowledge of it's structure and function in the last 5 years than we had in the previous 500.
This gain in knowledge through science is to me one of the most exciting aspects of living in the time in which we do. And of course, one of the most salient points to those of us on the "a" side of theistic ideologies is that the "gap" within which any god might reside grows narrower and narrower very quickly now.
There's another thread active right now that asks about wishes and disappointments. I think many of us here might share my wish that I could be around in 100 years or whatever amount of time it takes to finally and absolutely(?) close the remaining gaps in our knowledge of how this universe and any others were formed and how life arose here and likely many other places.
All hail science!
