Science An organized and systematic approach to investigating phenomena, and a body of knowledge obtained through the application of scientific methodology. Science requires its procedures and conclusions to satisfy the criterion of empirical proof.   A fundamental idea about science is that it is only false claims, not truths, which can be ‘proven’ – a well-supported claim in science is one which is the survivor of multiple (competent) attempts to demonstrate that the claim is incorrect.   (see also: scientific approach, pseudo-science, systematic evidence, Studies – Scientific or Empirical evolution, anecdotal evidence, (conceptual) models, operational definition, critical thinking, theory (scientific), falsifiability, testability) .   » Return to belief, judgement, and clear thinking »   Labels: science
