Can Science be Wrong? We discussed the journal with these questions

Assumptions & Presuppositions: When Studying the Origin of Life
- Science is the study of the world through observation, experiments, & hypothesis.
- Many scientific assumptions about the ancient world are made:
- - Assumption: Something you think is true without really testing/knowing it
- - - Why are assumptions made for ‘origins biology’?
- - - - We were not there to observe or experiment!
- - - What is the ‘danger’ in assuming things?
- - - - We could be wrong & there is no way to test it, except by testing it to other assumptions that could also be wrong!
- Many ideological presuppositions are made: p2,6,7
- - Presupposition: An idea you assume to be true before you even look at the evidence to make a decision.
- - - Why are presuppositions made?
- - - - Usually these are unconsciously made based upon your worldview.
- - - What is the ‘danger’ in presupposing things?
- - - - You will often misinterpret the evidence to match your pre-ideas.
