"I'd like to teach the world to..."

...well, if you could teach the world one thing--about science, at least nominally--what would it be?

250 scientists answer this question.

I would teach people the science way of thinking. The whole way of understanding how evidence and theory work. Logic and verification.

I like this quote from Richard Dawkins:

"True design can never be an ultimate explanation for anything, because the designer himself is left unexplained."
