Misconceptions about science
Many students have misconceptions about what science is and how it works. This section explains and corrects some of the most common misconceptions that students are likely have trouble with. If you are interested in common misconceptions about teaching the nature and process of science, visit our page on that topic.





Quote:


MISCONCEPTION: Experiments are a necessary part of the scientific process. Without an experiment, a study is not rigorous or scientific.

CORRECTION: Perhaps because the Scientific Method and popular portrayals of science emphasize experiments, many people think that science can't be done without an experiment. In fact, there are many ways to test almost any scientific idea; experimentation is only one approach. Some ideas are best tested by setting up a controlled experiment in a lab, some by making detailed observations of the natural world, and some with a combination of strategies. To study detailed examples of how scientific ideas can be tested fairly, with and without experiments, check out our side trip Fair tests: A do-it-yourself guide.




Berkeley, eh? lol They say that so the can stupidly push there little UN-TESTABLE "Just So" Story fairytale evolution to the willfully ignorant masses

This ends it...

"It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong."
Richard P. Feynman PhD (Nobel laureate Physics)

Is there something here that Dr Feynman said that is particularly confusing?

What do you suppose he would say to a "Postulate" with ZERO EXPERIMENTS!!!!


And by the mere fact I would even have to post this "ONCE" is testimony to your 13th Century Alchemy education and adherence to Incoherent Fairytales.

Science without Experiments is like Water without Hydrogen. Preposterous Absurdity is insulting to Preposterous Absurdity.


Sir I can safely say that you (and the vast majority of people on this thread), and Berkeley..... wouldn't know what "Science" was if it landed on your head and whistled dixie.

If Feynman agreed with your extrapolation of his statement, he would have said so, but he did not.




What extrapolation might that be, pray tell...?

Obviously it has confused you. His statement is true. All he is talking about is a theory that is disproved by an experiment.

He is not saying anything about whether or not an experiment is a necessary part of a valid scientific theory.

Good try, though. Although I think my 9yr old would have needed less help understanding these things.



And of course the obvious- how can that statement even relate to evolution in your view? You've been creepypasting for the last two days about how you can't create an experiment for evolution, therefore it's not science. But then to support that claim you post a quote saying that if a theory doesn't agree with the experiment (not even possible for evolution according to you), that the theory is not valid....

I'm not sure what hurts my brain more: the dumb shit that you post, or that you actually believe the dumb shit that you post.

Well, somewhat correct. You can't get to a Hypothesis because you can't get passed the 1st Step of the Scientific Method.... You know, the thing that makes science, "Science".

Then this...

Quote:

Do you have a point here or do I need an abacus?

That's because "evolution" is not even a theory or scientific (SEE: First Post).

And that's not what Dr.Feynman said, he said if the Hypothesis doesn't AGREE with Experiment it's "Wrong".

Can you tell me how you can VALIDATE any aspect of the "theory" of evolution without a Valid Hypothesis....so you can TEST/EXPERIMENT it?

Free speech arguments are only relevant when it's a government attempting to suppress speech.

Never mind the fact that Ronnie wasn't attempting to suppress your speech at all -- merely suggesting that if you don't care for the tone of the conversation (which by suggesting that the tone is unpalpapable and that it should cease, you become a hypocrite) you need not read nor post.

Enoch, here's a simple little experiment to test evolution.

Hypothesis: If evolution is true, the fossil record should match the geological strata (eg. older fossils in older strata)

Experiment: Dig up thousands of fossils from around the world in different strata. See if older strata contain more recently evolved species (eg. there should only be mammals in newer strata).

Repeat.

Was that so hard?
