Most of our science is done without the benefit of a laboratory at all. Historical sciences (paleontology, geology, etc) and cosmology have to rely on other methods. It doesn't make them based on faith.
- brudgers 14y agoThe number of observed full moons is significantly greater than zero. In addition any prediction of the next full moon is verifiable within a few days. Finally, observations of the full moon do not depend on access to equipment not accessible to the general public. In other words, in regards to the full moon I am not required to place my trust in others based upon their ritualistic training or privileged access to an unseen world.
