I choose to read and share an article out of the July/Aug 2006 COLLAGE SCIENCE TEACHING, it is entitled "What Makes it Science?" I love the quote by Einstien at the beginning, "The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of every day thinking." One of the big subjects in the article was whether or not inteligent design falls in as a science. This is the part I choose to discuss with a couple of teachers. Selby, author of the article, claims it is not a part of the newer defenition of science as it cannot be disproven. One of the instructors I spoke with agreed with this saying that it cannot be tested and therefor is not science, I kind of argued quite a bit with him. I totally agreed with the second. First he brought up the question of if string thoery(accepted my most as science) is science. Of course it is, and yet there is absolutely not way to test it or "disprove" it, it just isn't quite as "close to religion". Then he pointed out the fact that through out history, when many of the great scientific theories emerged there existed not means to try to disprove it.
