NATURE OF SCIENCE

Science is a very social process.

Science is a social process for it is a collaborative work of all scientists around the
world. It usually shared to public especially their new discoveries that will have great
impact to us. Is open for the constant change. It is also open to science critic community
which exposes the errors and validate their work. It may also be open to biases and
selfish whims but it is open to all, these biases will be expose and soon will be abolished.

Science Cannot Provide Complete Answers to All Questions

There are many situations that can be or are not yet explained in a scientific way.
There are instances that cannot be approve or disapprove by science such as beliefs
and supernatural. In other cases, there are also beliefs that are usually rejected though
explained in scientific approach such as superstitions and fortune telling. Nor do
scientists can settle the issue of good and evil although they can give information but
cannot put an end to the dispute.

Science Explains and Predicts

Science devotes itself to make sense of the observed phenomena by creating an

scientific explanation to them. These explanation may be restricted but incorporate a
significance as scientifically valid observation. The validity of scientific theories are
often comes from their ability to show the relationship that previously seemed
unrelated. Demonstrating the predictive power of a theory does not necessarily require
the prediction of events in the future. The predictions may be about evidence from the
past that has not yet been found or studied.
