The Definition of Science….A Distinct study which deals with a connected body of demonstrated truths or with observed facts systematically classified and more or less colligated by being brought under general laws, and which includes trustworthy methods for the discovery of new truth within its own domain. In laymen terms, Science is the study of how things form, develop, operate, work and end within a specific domain or habitat. For example, an Ornithologist who studies Birds would examine how a Hawaiian Honeycreeper grows, works and dies within in its domain which would be Hawaii.
In the world of Evolution, the two Sciences predominantly used are Empirical and Forensic Science.
EMPIRICAL SCIENCE- Investigates how things operate in the present (Sociologist) It is concerned with observable & repeatable events
FORENSIC SCIENCE investigates how things operated in the past. Basically this form of Science attempts to explain how things occurred in the past with given data. It is speculative in nature, especially when it comes to origin of the universe and mankind. An example of a Forensic would be a Paleontologist who examines fossils to determine how something lived and died. This brand of science rests on two basic principles....(1)
The Principle of Causality which states that all events have a cause and the Principle of Uniformity which states that certain causes produce the same kind of events.
CAUSALITY AND UNIFORMITY
Forensic science (origin science), rests on two fundamental principles.
The principle of causality states that every event in the universe has a sufficient natural or intelligent cause.
The principle of uniformity states that certain causes tend to produce the same kind of events (or uniform experience). For example, if I place a cup of ice cream on a warm or hot surface, the ice cream will melt; this process known as fusion is a perpetual or uniformity event.
How a Scientific Experiment is Conducted
As all things are in life, the area of Science has an exact process that can not be omitted or changed to benefit a certain ideology or produce a certain outcome.
This universal protocol is known the Scientific Method and is emphasized by many historical cultures and scientists but was formalized by Francis Bacon. This process contains the following steps.
First the Scientist announces his or her Assumption and proceeds to proof or disprove the assumption by following these steps. The assumption….If one places a cup of ice cream on a hot surface, the ice cream will melt.
1. The Hypothesis or Postulate (Assumption) Must Be Observed…Seen Happening by the Scientist. The Scientist places a cup of ice cream on a hot surface and he or she observes he ice cream melting
2. The Postulate Must Be Repeatable….The Scientist repeats step one and observes the ice cream melting again.
3 The Postulate Must Pass What is Known as a Falsifiability test or a experiment conducted that would disprove his or her hypothesis. The Scientist places a cup of ice cream on a hot surface and another cup of ice cream in a freezer. The ice cream on the hot surface melts but the ice cream in the freezer freezes thus proving the assumption
