Science The only way we know to decide whether something is true with any degree of reliability

For this we need evidence

…for without evidence anything goes!

In the teaching of the evidence based way to determine TRUTH lies the ethical reason for the conflict between Science and Dogma – political, religious and all other authority not based on evidence etc

Science 1.The only philosophical construct devised by mankind to determine, with any degree of reliability: What is true, might be true, can be true and what, more importantly, cannot be true! 2.Truth is Universal, and does not vary from country to country or planet to planet
