Science and Technology
a) If the community of men and women who are called scientists accepts the scientific test of a scientific theory, does that mean that anything is acceptable as long as enough of the right people agree with it?
The answer of whether scientific tests and theories are true or false depends on various issues. Scientists are always inventing new ways to support their arguments and theories. First, scientists must prove that the test and theories they present conforms are practical in the world. If the tests show any inconsistency, then the theory under test becomes invalid. Therefore, for people to accept any scientific tests and theories, the ideas must show consistency. Testing scientific theories is a continuous process, which takes time before approval. It, therefore, means that not everything that scientists accept as scientific tests becomes acceptable. The theories must pass through feasible tests before approval.
B.Does that mean there is no such thing as scientific truth?
The response to this question is again intricate. Few people are ineligible to making decisions...
Numerous factors influence their decisions, such as, cultural, religious, political and historical aspects. This causes misunderstanding between scientific truth and scientific opinion. There are enough reasons to doubt the reliability of scientific theories. This is far from inventiveness or any theological beliefs, but rather it involves fundamental process of science itself. The scientific method is heuristic, which always advances towards models with strong explanations.
c. How, if at all, does science differ from politics, art, or religion, in that case?
Science, politics, art, and religion shares similarities in their existence as aspects that explain humanity needs. They describe the world and the entire universe in various perspectives. Science, relies on scientific methods, and scientists try to discover the world and explain why things happens they way they happen. Arts describe the efforts applied by man in describing the world by using intangible concepts, such as, sentiments. As well, man uses religion to transform the universal pursuits that explain both the science…
