| What is Science?
I have been listening to the recordings of the Kansas evolution hearings. In general, I find myself disagreeing with the intellegent designer's, but I think they have one good point. They want to change the educational definition of science.
The current definition is:
"Science is the human activity of seeking natural explanations for what we observe in the world around us."
The proposed change is:
"Science is a systematic method of continuing investigation, that uses observation, hypothesis testing, measurement, experimentation, logical argument and theory building, to lead to more adequate explanations of natural phenomena."
Like I said - I support the second definition. However, I'll save my argument as to why until after we have some poll results.
Fixed ideas are like a cramp in the foot - the best remedy against it is to tread on it.
