It angers me when people here hate on pop science. It helps to understand the beauty and power of science before you can start pacing through textbooks. I wouldn't be about to finish my chemistry degree if it wasn't for 'Pompous Science Poetry for Adolescents'

It's been like this for a while. I don't blame them. I'm sure they were inspired by someone or something else to go into science. Not everyone needs Sagan, right?

The Bible doesn't tell people to judge things on their own, to doubt authority and that they might be proven wrong in the future though.

Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. (16) You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? (17) Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. (18) A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. (19) Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. (20) Therefore by their fruits you will know them. Matthew 7:15-20

> Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him after he had risen. He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”
Have you drunk your deadly poison today?
Oops. You're not a believer. Those signs follow believers.

You made the case that the bible doesn't tell people to judge things on their own. I pointed you to a verse that warns people to beware of false prophets(authority). Now you're buttmad and trying to find a contraction(there are plenty), but you still have been proven wrong.
