Long Response:
1. The author's view is that science is a good thing and it can help us in the long run. In the opening paragraph he states that science helps how we experience life. He then later backs up his opinion with evidence of scientific break throughs.

2. In the first paragraph he wrote a lot of opinions on what he thinks about science. He talks about how science is good and it will help us in the long run.

3. "Advances in science are increasingly central to how we experience life, that drives the global economy and how we find reliable evidence to support decisions." This shows his opinion because he said that science is in our everyday life and that is what drives our economy and how to support decisions.

4. He uses the facts about how we discovered Pluto ten years ago and how we found out, "Lucy met an untimely demise 3.2 million years ago." The writer is backing up his opinion with evidence from the scientific break throughs through the years.

5.  The author concludes his writing by saying if we reach out to the leaders and tell them about the positives of science, then our lives will be better in the long run. He is saying if we don't keep doing science our life will not have as many breakthroughs as if we did.

6. I believe that he made a good argument about how science is helpful, but I would have liked to have seen more facts than just two things that science did. I know a lot of the scientific breakthroughs, but I would have liked to see it in his writing so he had more than two facts.

7. I agree with his opinion because if science was useless we wouldn't be forced to take a science class every year of our school career. Science can discover many things and if we put enough smart minds together then we would find out something that we would usually think was impossible. I think that science is very useful and it can be fun.
