Ohio lawmakers want to limit the teaching of the scientific process | Ars Technica

[blm]

Interesting. I would have figured they already did that decades ago.

[Scrumhalf]

In a perfect world, this guy would be run out of town on a rail. Unfortunately, we seem to get the politicians we deserve, the imbeciles and the incompetents.

You're not supposed to know how to think for yourself. You're supposed to do things because it's what everyone else does.

Let's have all these faith supporting people lined up to jump out of a plane without a parachute. When they don't, ask them if it's their faith that tells them not to or the scientific process showing the laws of gravity.

[Bouncer]

Scientific process is theory.

You my friend give me all the fuel I need to continue my famous.... "THE SOUTH"..

Holy Christ you people are moronical..

You look like shit. Hope this helps..

You look like shit. Hope this helps..

Yeah I know. Busy working and getting an education.

You look like shit. Hope this helps..

I think there is a big difference between being healthy, happy and above average vs being obsessed. Being great is being balanced and that will be very different for everyone.

[Bouncer]

Just to be clear, I'm just fucking around cause turbo is always such a negative nelly. :P

[TKD]

Jack Lemmon or Walter Mathieu?

[Oberonbww]

Sheesh

Scientific process is theory. It's not science till it's proven. Liberal teachings have doomed this nation. Hence Barack Obama

Gravity is a theory, have you floated off into space yet?

[blm]

You remind me of dago. You hopped up on pills too.

[TKD]

Drop some of that water. Gravity isn't a theory. It's proven Big Bang is

How does it go? The lord is my shepherd.

shep·herd noun \ˈshe-pərd\
: a person whose job is to take care of sheep

or

proof noun \ˈprüf\
: something which shows that something else is true or correct

: an act or process of showing that something is true



sci·en·tist noun \ˈsī-ən-tist\
: a person who is trained in a science and whose job involves doing scientific research or solving scientific problems


The scientific method is a process
for forming and testing solutions to problems,
or theorizing about how or why things work.
It tries to reduce the influence of "faith" or bias or prejudice of the experimenter so that the process is valid anywhere in our world


the·o·rize verb \ˈthē-ə-ˌrīz, ˈthir-ˌīz\
: to think of or suggest ideas about what is possibly true or real : to form or suggest a theory about something

Theory
Theory is a contemplative and rational type of abstract or generalizing thinking, or the results of such thinking. Depending on the context, the results might for example include generalized explanations of how nature works

A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is acquired through the scientific method, and repeatedly confirmed through observation and experimentation. The strength of a scientific theory is related to the diversity of phenomena it can explain, and to its elegance and simplicity (Occam's razor).

As additional scientific evidence is gathered, a scientific theory may be rejected or modified if it does not fit the new empirical findings- in such circumstances, a more accurate theory is then desired. In certain cases, the less-accurate unmodified scientific theory can still be treated as a theory if it is useful (due to its sheer simplicity) as an approximation under specific conditions (e.g. Newton's laws of motion as an approximation to special relativity at velocities which are small relative to the speed of light).Scientific theories are testable and make falsifiable predictions.

Law of Gravity also known as Gravitation. In modern physics, gravitation is most accurately described by the general theory of relativity.


Scientific Method

The scientific method is a body of techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge.[1] To be termed scientific, a method of inquiry must be based on empirical and measurable evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning.[2] The Oxford English Dictionary defines the scientific method as "a method or procedure that has characterized natural science since the 17th century, consisting in systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of hypotheses.

Hypothesis

A hypothesis (plural hypotheses) is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon. For a hypothesis to be a scientific hypothesis, the scientific method requires that one can test it.


What is the difference between a theory and a hypothesis?

A hypothesis attempts to answer questions by putting forth a plausible explanation that has yet to be rigorously tested. A theory, on the other hand, has already undergone extensive testing by various scientists and is generally accepted as being an accurate explanation of an observation. This doesn't mean the theory is correct; only that current testing has not yet been able to disprove it, and the evidence as it is understood, appears to support it.

Again, the question remains. Think for yourself or be sheep.

You missed the whole point. You have know idea what science is or what you are trying to talk about. All you have shown is how you live your life by two sets of beliefs (science and faith), yet you have never come to any conclusions yourself.

This is all to the point of the original topic. It should not have anything to do with fitting the evidence to your theory. You follow the evidence where it takes you and report your findings.

If the evidence you have found agrees with your faith then so be it. You should be 100% confident to submit for peer review. However, if the evidence you find is in conflict with your faith, then that is a personal problem not an education problem. That's what the whole discussion is about.
