I've noticed some people have turned "science" into an all-encompassing and multipurpose word, using it at every turn and every stop sign and maybe past the gas station. I keep reading sentences in which the term "science," at least as I think of it, doesn't quite fit in.
So I'm curious: what exactly comes to your mind when you hear the word "science"? Do you think of your science classes at school? Do you think of those darn mathematical equations? Do you think of vaguely science-sy things? Feel free to ramble on and off, but a one-sentence definition in the end would be appreciated.
It's nice to know where everyone stands, is all. If we can't argue about God without defining it first, we can't argue about science without defining it. Obviously, we can't get anywhere if I say tomato and you say potato.
In its broadest sense, science (from the Latinscientia, meaning "knowledge") refers to any systematic knowledge or practice. In its more usual restricted sense, science refers to a system of acquiring knowledge based on scientific method, as well as to the organized body of knowledge gained through such research.
science is any knolledge or reasearch carried out or gained using logical and systematic meathods that can be proved. it does not exist to contradict religion. it is simply that the findings have by chance contradicted each other.
Unless an observation has passed all the four steps to become a theory and the experiment can be repeated again and again in the given conditions by other, it can never be a scientific theory.
For those who think science is an anti-religion docrine.
Science has nothing to do with religion and scientists aren't even bothered by religion (unless religious fanatics decide to kill scientists). But Abrahamic religions has an inherent fear of science, primarily because everything that religion stands for - heresay, blind faith and fantasy is unmasked in all its nakedness in the light of science.
