Perhaps the most striking thing I have realized through this course is that science is not fact. In The Structures of Scientific Revolutions‚ Thomas Kuhn discusses how the process of science and discovery works. He says science is defined by paradigms‚ meaning that there has to be a widely accepted theory in order for science to work. For example‚ evolution is the paradigm of biology‚ and all biologists assume the theory of evolution to be true when they do their research. While I

November 15‚ 2013 Placing Limitations on Science Science is a great way to learn and understand how our universe works. Once we learn science‚ we’re opened many new doors and can even learn how to manipulate our very own universe. Throughout the course of human events‚ science has helped mankind overcome a wide range of issues. However‚ science is a double-edged sword and has also brought many new issues.

literature‚ the conception of Nature seems to be a quite complex question. ’Nature’ is not a concept that can be grasped easily and it often requires discussing some great philosophical conceptions like ’Pantheism’ or ’Deism’.
