Document Summary

Crop circles, ads, nonsense articles in respected journals, raelians claimed to have created first human clones. Facts, truths and proofs: elude us, sometimes we elude them, tremendous room for self deception, facts= often trivial (i am 5"2 , she uses glasses, etc), some are untrue ( the earth is the center of the universe ) A fact is something that is currently under investigation . Capable of changing: truths= goal that we constantly try to achieve, proof= something proved is unassailable and often considered to be fact. Almost never found in science, there are too many variables. Conditional v relative: science relates to observations and understandings in conditional terms. This is how science leaves options open while accepting a system that seems to work. What is science: rational approach to understanding and explaining observable phenomena, quest for knowledge, willingness to critically examine, acknowledgement of error, willingness to consider alternatives, self-correcting through the above properties.
