Why it rains.

My son informs me, pointing to a dark horizon, that "the cloud over there is going to cry."
I ask him why, and he tells me, "Because of the oil and the water and the wheels in it."
I tell him there's a distinct possibility that he may be right, because at this point I'd rather put my faith in a 3-year-old's wisdom than Schrodinger's cat.

What does science know for sure anyway?

Absolutely nothing. That's why it's strung with theory. I like Canaan's explanation much better.
