Helen Kahur January 2013 Introduction Karl Raimund Popper‚ an English philosopher was curious about a certain question‚ which was ’’whats the difference between natural science‚ and other areas of knowledge?’’. Popper’s response to that was that scientific claims could technically be disproved‚ whereas non-scientific ones couldn’t. A theory‚ which cannot be disproved

“experimental sciences”. What counts as an experiment? Can experiments be undertaken in other subjects? Are there some necessary conditions for an activity to be an experiment‚ for example‚ hypotheses‚ data‚ manipulation of variables‚ observation‚ generalization and expectations of outcomes? Experimental sciences are the systematic observations of phenomena for the purpose of learning new facts or testing the application of theories to known facts [1913 Webster] this means that experimental science is experiments

Harry Ma 2013/03/19 Mr.Hodachok “To what extent does disagreement aid the pursuit of knowledge in the natural science?” The problem with natural science with the truth discovered is that an over confident belief on an aspect of knowledge or science‚ may lead to blindness in other aspects of the same field. Going back to the very start to the discovery of laws and theories in natural science‚ when unknown factors are first discovered by observation‚ scientists and experimentalists question the

considering the natural forces that sustain us. From the lessons given by the tsunami‚ we recognized that many vital links which connect human societies together have been broken or missing. Without repairing these links‚ the sustainable future of human beings would be threatened. The human societies are a unity without unifying efforts‚ especially in the cases of emergency and great natural disasters‚ collective strength of mankind will not be maximized and we would become vulnerable to natural threats

Earth Science is an all-embracing term for the sciences related to the planet Earth. It is arguably a special case in planetary science‚ the Earth being the only known life-bearing planet. There are both reductionist and holistic approaches to Earth sciences. The formal discipline of Earth sciences may include the study of the atmosphere‚ hydrosphere‚ oceans and biosphere‚ as well as the solid earth. Typically‚ Earth scientists will use tools from physics‚ chemistry‚ biology‚ chronology and mathematics

When I was very young‚ my science teacher taught me Charles Darwin’s evolution theory‚ and I never doubted that theory since Darwin is a well-known scientist and the authority in the field of biology. Until one day‚ I became a Christian; I need to accept another theory which is that human beings are created by God. My knowledge had a crash. I have never seen neither earlier species develop to human beings nor God creates human beings by using mud. That is when I started to question the knowledge
