what actually is science?

Answer 1

Science from the latin word Scio, to know. Generally, Science is the study of natural processes to further the understanding of those natural processes.

Until Dewey in the 1800s in the United States, the study of Science was conducted in the context of the existence of a supernatural God, the God of the Christians. After Dewey, the definition of science excluded the existence of any supernatural God from the context of science discussion of research. The presense or absence of God in the context of Science is an ongoing debate. Presently, the Dewey definition prohibits a rational discussion on creation, evolution, abiogenisis, and similar issues in the US public school classrooms or among US university researchers. Improper imposition of the false Constitutional claim of the "wall separation of Chuch and State" has also lead to a quelling of discussion and further support of only the Dewey definition of science. The Dewey definition of Science is also the reason why most public school teachers and university professors claim that an acknowledgement of God or a supreme being in natual processes is anathema.
