Probably because it is the most accurate way to carry out a scientific experiment. It reminds scientists to research thoroughly and to keep track of what is occurring in the experiment. So that if something that is unecessary happens, they could easily find out what happened through data that was written down.

Because it works.

Created the scientific method?

I think it might have been Robert Grosseteste (1175-1253), Bishop of Lincoln. I'm researching him.. and it says he is "the real founder of the tradition of scientific thought in mediæval Oxford." And is best known as an original thinker for his work concerning what would today be called science or the scientific method. hope that helps


Do you think the contributions of these scientists are still valuable even though some were made hundreds of years ago?

You didn't say what scientists, but science today is built on the contributions of scientists from long ago. There are many examples but prominent among them Is Isaac Newton.


What do you think is the most important issue in science today?

My opinion is that freedom and funding of scientific research is the most important issue today. It has become a common practice of today's governments to regulate what scientists are allowed to research, with what funding, where their funding comes from, and what results they are allowed to report. Governments have been attempting to control scientific progress and scientific results. Overall this only inhibits the scientific community as a whole and slows down the further development of the human race. This is the most important matter in the scientific community in my opinion, for it can effect every field of science and can happen anywhere in the world.
