In reply to: Damoclese 's message, "Weaknesses in Science" on 12/ 9/02 5:29pm

Damoclese, science is, in effect, a lot of tentative teachings that CAN BE PROVEN (subject to change) TO BE CORRECT, given the available tools. There are still lots of people about who apparently "believe in" all sorts of non-scientific items that they want science to accept, such as perpetuum mobile items, or even the flat earth concept maybe.
..... If you can't prove it, it may be a religion or some other belief system, but it's NOT (yet?) part of science! And one of the major problems is what is acceptable as PROOF? Or TRUTH?
