What Science Is

Ironically the biggest problem in science is defining science itself. This problem arises in part from an effort by some to limit the meaning of science in a manner that excludes lines of study and explanation that they specifically want to exclude. These areas of desired exclusion; include a form of Creationism and anything thing else involving God or the supernatural.

An objective definition of Science is:

• "Systematized knowledge derived from observation, study, and experimentation carried on in order to determine the nature or principles of what is being studied."
• (Webster's New World Dictionary of the American Language)

 Unfortunately many insist on only allowing naturalistic explanations for everything as a qualification of science. The problem is that this artificially limits science to what can be considered even if the truth is outside that cozy little box. Such a limit removes science from being a search for truth and turns it into an atheistic propaganda machine. This is why there is so much conflict between science and religion.
