What are scientific statements of truth which seek to explain natural phenomena?
A statement about a natural phenomenon is not necessarily scientific, but if the phenomenon has been studied in detail and the scientific method applied, then the statement becomes scientific. Example: The Sun rises in the east and sets in the west is not a scientific statement, but if the rising and setting is studied and angles noted over a 12-month period, and a theory is formed to explain it which says that the Earth rotates about an axis that is inclined to its orbit round the Sun, with numbers, that is scientific. Being scientific does not mean it is the truth or even correct because it might be disproved, or another better theory can always come along later, but at least it is scientific.
