I do not think that science is about truth or accuracy. It is about correcting error, by using evidence.

There is a vast amount of uncertainty out there. Reducing it is a interesting part of science. Any notion not capable of being tested is not science. We make a lot of decisions by voting on various questions (I live in CA and we have ballot propositions every few months.) but voting is not included in the scientific method. If it is a good experiment, you and I do the same experiment, and we get the same result.

“Any notion not capable of being tested is not science”.

Over and over I see this assertion and never ever any offer as to why it holds true for somethings while things like

scientific study of prayer...

string theory...

multiverse theory...

global warming...

evolution/materialistic origins...

get a complete free pass.

Double standards anyone?
