    Study Notes

    Defining Science

    • Science is a systematic and structured process to develop and organize knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe.
    • It involves the use of evidence and observation to develop and refine theories.

    Accepting Truth in Science

    • Science accepts as true only those claims that are supported by empirical evidence and can be consistently tested and confirmed.
    • Scientific truths are provisional and open to revision or rejection if new evidence arises.

    The Limits of Science

    • Science has limitations in its ability to explain and understand phenomena, particularly in areas that are beyond human observation or measurement.
    • Science cannot provide answers to questions that are outside its scope, such as moral or philosophical issues.

    The Purpose of the Scientific Method

    • The purpose of the scientific method is to provide a systematic and structured approach to developing and testing scientific knowledge.
    • It involves making observations, formulating hypotheses, and testing these hypotheses through experimentation and evidence-based reasoning.

    The Existence of God and Science

    • Science cannot prove or disprove the existence of God or any other supernatural entity, as these claims are outside the realm of scientific inquiry.
    • The existence of God is a matter of faith and belief, and is not subject to empirical verification or testing.
