Science (from the Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge") is, in its broadest sense, any systematic knowledge-base or prescriptive practice that is capable of resulting in a prediction or predictable type of outcome. In this sense, science may refer to a highly skilled technique or practice. In its more restricted contemporary sense, science is a system of acquiring knowledge based on scientific method, and to the organized body of knowledge gained through such research. This article focuses on the more restricted use of the word. Science as discussed in this article is sometimes called experimental science to differentiate it from applied science, which is the application of scientific research to specific human needs—although the two are commonly interconnected. Science is a continuing effort to discover and increase human knowledge and understanding through disciplined research. Using controlled methods, scientists collect observable evidence of natural or social phenomena, record measurable data relating to the observations, and analyze this information to construct theoretical explanations of how things work. The methods of scientific research include the generation of hypotheses about how phenomena work, and experimentation that tests these hypotheses under controlled conditions. Scientists are also expected to publish their information so other scientists can do similar experiments to double-check their conclusions. The results of this process enable better understanding of past events, and better ability to predict future events of the same kind as those that have been tested. From Wikipedia under the

Q. Revelation and science do not, and cannot, contradict each other, for both are of God. There may at times be an apparent conflict between faith and science; but this is only apparent, and never real. God cannot contradict Himself. He cannot lead us into error. True Science is the handmaid of Religion. Science and the scientific method are means of arriving at the truth, and Religion is Truth. The greatest scientists have been Christians; a majority of outstanding leaders in science were Catholics, and many were priests. Only the shallow dabblers in science absurdly pretend that there is a conflict. The apparent conflicts arise from false interpretations, as when one takes for scientific truth what is false or not proved, or accepts as a… [cont.] Asked by Al - Mon Oct 19 22:29:38 2009 - - 18 Answers - 0 Comments A. I have a better question. Why do Christians always feel the need to heedlessly attempt to persuade people with different viewpoints to see things THEIR way? Can Christians not simply accept that other people have different beliefs than they do and move on. We do not all need to be "saved". Answered by William - Thu Oct 22 01:21:34 2009 What is the best science to major in college?
Q. I plan on going to med-school and becoming some sort of physician. But what if I end up being rejected from med-school or I change my mind about going to med-school after majoring in a science in college; what science major could I major in that would also help me with other high/moderate-paying careers? For example, would psychology be a good choice to major in? Asked by TROJAN DUDE - Sun Mar 8 22:05:42 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Psychology is the standard fall-back major - there are tons of psych majors and as a result grad programs are very competitive. Try engineering. You'll take math and physics for it, and there are lots of job opportunities with a bachelors. Answered by eri - Sun Mar 8 22:11:58 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Science" Science in the broadest sense refers to any system of objective knowledge. In a more restricted sense, science refers to a system of acquiring knowledge based on the scientific method, as well as to the organized body of knowledge humans have gained by such research.
