Kairos

When I was reading this I was really thinking about what has been talked about in the class in  the past few weeks.  About how scientists prove something and how others will disprove the others claim.  We can also look at how Kairos is translated "the right time" and how it was the right time for DNA.  I would guess that many of these "right times" have come and gone with different discovers, but who is to say what is right and what is wrong? When it comes to science I can be a sceptic just because how these scientist can use rhetoric to persuade.  I guess that I have to be the judge of that, but with DNA it's hard for me to swallow this claim sometimes.  Just look at fingerprinting and how this claim has changed over time.  Not everything is what it may seem, but with some fancy wording some can make anyone a believer.
