SCIENCE PROVIDES THE ONLY RELIABLE WAY TO DETERMINE WHAT IS
TRUE OR NOT TRUE ABOUT THE UNIVERSE
It has not yet answered all the questions, but is the only
methodology that has the capacity to do so. There are gaps in
scientific knowledge and questions remain; What is Dark
Matter? Dark Energy?, How did life begin? Why do socks
disappear? Science proceeds from evidence to conclusion and
does not make a determination where there is insufficient
evidence to do so. Science has no problem saying "We don't
know...YET." However, that doesn't mean that science is
clueless, we know more today than we did yesterday and every
tomorrow takes us another step closer. As Richard Feynman
said "Science is the joy of finding things out."
Science is a search for truth and truth is established by
EVIDENCE, not by what anyone says. Science proceeds from
evidence to a conclusion which is PROVISIONAL (a hypothesis).
As additional evidence comes to light in support of that
hypothesis, so does the certainty it is correct. When all
evidence supports a conclusion and none refutes it, it can
become a Scientific Theory, which in science is the highest
degree of certainty possible.
Science is built on facts, much like a house being built of
bricks. But a pile of bricks is not a house and a collection
of facts is not science. They become science only after being
assembled into a coherent explanation of observed phenomena
that is a Scientific Theory. Any scientist will tell you that
there is no such thing as "only a theory" because A THEORY IN
SCIENCE IS THE HIGHEST DEGREE OF CERTAINTY POSSIBLE.
