Scientific beliefs have a basis of solid evidence and can been proven using the scientific method and through extensive research. But there is no “scientific method” for proving religious beliefs.

Assessment activity 1 1. When conducting research on behalf of your organisation or for a client organisation‚ how will you determine the most appropriate data sources to use? In this case the most suitable data source will be a desk research because this information will have already been gathered‚ analysed and reported on by other companies. It means that you will not waste time and money doing what others before you have done. 2. Why are cross checks and cross references necessary?

Kuhn’s central proposition in The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is that science is not a body of knowledge that grows through “steady‚ cumulative acquisition of knowledge but a series of peaceful interludes punctuated by intellectually violent revolutions”. He described the period of crisis as the tradition-shattering complements to the tradition-bound activity of normal science.” The interlude of revolution replaces the one conceptual world view by another. Kuhn challenged the dominant view
