What about mathematics? There are more hunters than there are elk. 1 wolf needs about a deer a week to live off of, without a wolf reduction when will all the ungulates be gone? How many elk have permanently taken up residence at the mines? How many migrate to Alberta in the winter and are hunted in Jan and Feb? All factors of this decline.
The world is made up of a few different sorts. At the end of the day there are three types: one that makes decisions based on beliefs, one that makes decisions based on a combination of science/beliefs/experience, and one that makes decisions based on science. The colours move from white to shades of grey to black. That isn't about being 'right' or 'wrong', that's about the discipline and rigor a person puts into forming an opinion or making a decision.
Where one fits into those 'shades of grey' is their choice.
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
