Time to get some good discussion going again.
So how about it? In only 4-5 sentences, state the definition of science as you understand it. No wiki- google- or webster quoting. Use your own definition in about 5 sentences or less.
Here's mine:
Science;
1. A research institution similar to philosophy under which new knowledge can be attained for the general benefit of mankind, his environment, and his standard of living.
2. Can also be described as the method through which some hypothesis can be processed into a theory, or be sorted out as something which cannot be tested or otherwise proven true.
3. Science itself holds no authority over truth but is the sharp knife which cuts through truth to merely discover what is already there.
4. It is very effective when utilized under appropriate circumstances, but is still limited to being comprehensive in usability throughout only a particular subset of possibilities which may be true or untrue. IE Science cannot be used to answer all questions.
5. Science is something that most psychologists think that they are doing.
