Science doesn't have such axiomatic rules; did Galileo lay out these these axioms and proclaim the scientific revolution? As I understand it, science is a human enterprise with the goal of understanding principles... with limitations and strengths. Falsifiability in particular has serious criticisms, in terms of people taking it as a defining part of science. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsifiability#Criticisms http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsifiability#Criticisms) I suspect (and it's just pure suspicion for now which I'm mentioning for no particular reason) it tends to be emphasized in cultures interested in debunking people's claims in a competitive debating way, rather than constructive conversation where both parties aim at coming to new understandings. I don't mean in science, but cultures influenced by science's success.
