Scientific Method, The truth wears out.
Apr 10th, 2011 at 11:37am
 
The religion of science is seeing an unexplained difficulty with its belief in the irrefutable nature of the scientific method as a way of determining the truth.  This measure of truth appears to weaken over time.

Here is a link to the article.

Thanks to Frank DeMarco for the info.

I clicked on the link, couldn't see the article, and then received a virus alert notice from Norton, so people might want to be careful.

I'm afraid to select it again. I'll see how it goes for others.

It turns out that the virus alert I got  was for another matter. It is just that the alert came up when I pulled up the link Bruce provided. Sorry for the confusion.

I especially like these lines from the last paragraph of the article:

"Just because an idea is true doesn’t mean it can be proved. And just because an idea can be proved doesn’t mean it’s true. When the experiments are done, we still have to choose what to believe. "
