The Real Scientific Method



This video is almost word for word of what I was taught in the 1980's about science. I was taught that the theory of evolution was not a fact but a means of explaining how the world came about. Something happened to the scientific community in the last 10-20 years; it changed.

I think that today, people are so afraid of Creationism that they are willing to boldly lie in order to get their aganda pushed to the forefront of science. I thought that if we were like Aristotle, who philosophized that heavier objects fall faster than lighter objects because it made sense, that we would lose the true meaning of science.

We should be like Galileo, who proved Aristotle wrong by actually performing the experiment using observation, testing, demonstration & repetition in order to get to the bottom of the truth of science.
