Can science prove determinism?
No. Determinism is not a scientific thesis. Instead, it belongs to the philosophy of science. It helps to think of there being three levels. First, there is the world itself. Second, there are scientists studying the world, particularly its regularities. Third, there are philosophers of science who study the scientists who are studying the world. For example, when a scientist notices regularity, he or she might propose a causal law. Causal laws have an "if -- then" form: if an event of this type occurs, then an event of that type occurs. If this happens, then that happens; alternatively, this causes that. Scientists attempt to fashion causal laws into comprehensive scientific theories. Therefore, scientists are trying to understand what causes what. Notice that scientists take the notion of causation for granted. By way of contrast, philosophers of science do not. They wonder about what scientists are doing. For example, when a scientist claims that "If X, then Y" or "X causes Y", the philosopher of science may ask, "What is a cause?" The question "What is a cause?" is not itself a scientific question; scientists take for granted the notion of a cause. Philosophers of science do not. "What is a cause?" is a question in the philosophy of science. It is a philosophical question. In other words, issues in the philosophy of science are more fundamental than issues in science. Whether or not determinism is true is one of those issues. Therefore, it's like the question about the nature of causation itself. This does not mean, though, that issues in the philosophy of science are more important than scientific issues. All it means is that they occur on a different level.
Why science is called science?
Science is called science because it is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the natural world. The word "science" comes from the Latin word "scientia," meaning knowledge.
What is the difference between science and non-science?
The main difference between science and non-science is that science relies on evidence, experimentation, and the scientific method to understand the natural world, while non-science does not follow these rigorous methods and may be based on beliefs, opinions, or personal experiences.
How did new knowledge pose a challenge to Christian scholars?
New knowledge, particularly from scientific discoveries and historical research, often contradicted traditional religious beliefs held by Christian scholars. This challenged their worldview and forced them to reconcile new findings with their faith, leading to debates and tensions between religion and science.
Can science prove something that does not exist?
Science cannot really PROVE anything. If you consider the arguments of, for example, the 18th century philosopher David Hume, then you will see that science cannot prove things as it consistently relies on induction to form conclusions and induction does not say that something is definitely the result of something else, only that it could be or is likely or even appears at this moment to be the only explanation. Therefore, if we put this belief into the original question "Can science prove something that does not exist?", both yes and no can be argued. No because science cannot prove anything, therefore, it cannot prove something that does exist and it cannot prove something that does not exist. Yes because if you do still believe that science can prove that existing things do exist, you will believe that it can prove that non-exisiting also exist because obviously if a mistake is made to come to this false conclusion, you (the person who has found such a result) will not know the mistake has occured and will not question it if you have done everything right according to the procedures for proving things, because you believe that if you have followed such procedures then you must have proven it because that is the way you believe science works. A complicated discussion really, depends what you believe about the reliabity of 'fact' and the nature of 'proof'. it's true the science is can really prove any thing.=]
