Science is an investigation into the universe in which we live, intended to increase human understanding of the natural world. In order to obtain such understanding, scientists have to follow careful procedures in order to distinguish between good theories and bad theories. People come up with theories all the time, based on all sorts of reasoning, guesses, or intuition. The reasoning may or may not be logical, the guesses may not be accurate, the intuition may or may not be helpful. Only be examining all theories with skepticism, can science advance. Otherwise the whole effort would bog down in an endless swamp of nonsense.
