What your call "theory that it should be falsifiable" is in fact the very base of science. And this principle (among others) served us quite well for the last few hundred years, leading to progress, understanding, knowledge, inventions and innovations.
Of course you can apply lower standards, such as "having some good-sounding arguments is all you nedd", but then the results become quickly worse.
- wissler 13y agoJust because you are told that something is the "base of science", doesn't make it the base of science. Also, read Newton's Rules of reasoning for a better example of a philosophy that's successfully been at the base of science.
- vog 13y agoI was referring to Richard Feyman (not Newton, but still a great influential physicist). Unfortunately, I can't reproduce his exact words from my mind.
