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.
