Is Science Just a Matter of Faith?
- msluyter 16y agoThis is a better essay than the title suggested it would be. Although it makes an interesting point, it seems somehow incomplete to me. There's an important distinction between beliefs that can be falsified and those that can't. Science, generally, should consist mostly of the former, and even though I may "believe" a certain set of scientific experts based on their authority, I also try to hold those beliefs lightly/provisionally, and open to falsification or modification in light of new evidence.
