***“The more you learn about something, the more you realize you know nothing.”*** This saying resonates deeply with me. The truth is, **no one really has all the big answers**. Many in the scientific community seem to pretend they do. Let’s explore this further.

#### ***Consider the Most Fundamental Questions***

1. **The Origin of the Universe**
2. **The Origin of Life on Earth**

#### ***The Origin of the Universe***

You might think we have a solid answer: **the Big Bang**. However, this explanation has its limitations, and calling it a “start” can be misleading. In fact, this theory might be entirely wrong. New research challenges the Big Bang theory, and I highly recommend listening to **Sir Roger Penrose** for a deeper understanding.

The only substantial evidence we have is the universe's expansion. Penrose proposes a different hypothesis: **the endless expansion and contraction of the universe**. This idea doesn’t contradict our current understanding. 

Thus, the evidence for the Big Bang and Penrose’s theory are both radically different, yet **neither can be definitively proven** over the other. This highlights the **limitations of our current understanding**.

#### ***The Origin of Life on Earth***

The origin of life is even more complex. Life requires three essential components:
- **Proteins** for basic functioning
- **RNA** for storing and replicating genes
- **Lipids** (cell walls) to create separation from the environment

Mathematical models suggest that while proteins and lipids have a reasonable probability of forming, the creation of RNA seems nearly impossible through random mutations in a short time frame. The best explanations indicate that we either lack crucial information or that these RNA molecules—and life as a whole—might have come from **outside sources**. Some scholars even question the entire **random mutation model**.

#### ***The Question of Certainty***

If scientists don’t know the answers, **why do they pretend they do?** In my humble opinion, **It seems they do this to distance science from religion and to close the discussion before the wealthiest can fit God into the narrative,** Interestingly, I’m not alone in believing they closed the books too early.

#### ***Reclaiming Control of Science and Education***

The best way to reclaim control of science and education is to **learn**. If you’re looking for a starting point, I highly recommend:
- **“A Brief History of Time”** by **Stephen Hawking** for physics
- **“Sapiens”** or **“The Selfish Gene”** for evolutionary biology

All three are excellent starting points—densely packed with information and covering a wide range of topics in a concise and accessible manner.
