What conflicts developed in societies with the birth of modern science?
Science advances because of man's need for knowledge. As knowledge increases, old values and beliefs may be questioned. For example, when physics discovered that thunder and lightning were caused by electrical phenomena, then the old belief that it was caused by supernatural forces had to be abandoned. People's attachment to the suparnatural has an emotional basis that is a framework for their belief systems. The result is that a conflict between new knowledge and old beliefs inecitable. It can be argued that scientific development advances faster than social systems and belief systems. It is inevitable that conflicts of this kind happen. Another example is modern birth control which became possible because of research in medicine and biochemistry. Social norms and values may be in conflict with the possibilities that science offers for people to change their lives, and this causes conflicts on a personal level and even at national levels.

New scientific ideas are often built on old ideas.?
True
Should people always believe in science....many laws of Aristotole and others have been proved wrong later after thousands of years...how we will know that modern accepted laws and theories are true?
It is in the nature of science that new evidence can supersede old beliefs. Having said that, the ideas of people like Aristotle were not supported with the kind of evidence we have for modern scientific laws, and would not be called Laws.

Difference between superstition and old beliefs?
Superstition and scientific beliefHere's an example of a superstition. A black cat crosses the road while Joe is driving down the street. Joe crashes soon after and blames the cat. To verify the bad-luck qualities of the cat, Joe sets out to drive again, but friends run a black cat across the street to see if Joe crashes again. Joe does not crash. In other words, superstitions are not repeatable or testable. Scientific beliefs are repeatable and testable. Simply, you are told not to mix household cleaning agents, but you do, and you pass out. After recovering, and you repeat the process, and you pass out again. The danger of mixing household cleaning agents is based on repeatable scientific experiments. When you believe such things you hold a scientific belief.Note: In science, the present "fact" is for now the best explanation, until a repeatable experiment proves different. With superstitions, the beliefs hold forever and forever with no need to prove it.................................................re. Superstition and "Old Beliefs," a superstition is generally foolish and irrational, passed along without questioning the sense of it. The fear of black cats crossing one's path is a good example of a superstition.On the other hand, old beliefs may be part of an old religion that has been superseded by a newer religion. In their old religions, Greeks and Romans worshiped many gods. Those "old beliefs" were replaced by Christianity.In yet another sense, an "old belief" could be something that was commonly thought to be true, that has since been proved false. For example, the idea that the common cold is caused by getting wet feet is an old belief that people no longer believe, since science has shown that the common cold is caused by a virus.

How are astronomists different from astrologists?
Astronomy is the scientific study of the Universe: what is out there in space, how old the Universe is, what will be its future, etc. Astrology is a set of beliefs about mysterious influences the stars or planets have on us. This is not based on any scientific method, and is really just superstition. By the way, the people who study each of the discipline would be called "astronomers" and "astrologers"
