Scientific Fact - Correct Answer ✔✔ something many can agree on
Scientific equipment - Correct Answer ✔✔ extends range of our senses
Indirect evidence - Correct Answer ✔✔ evidence that does not involve direct
observation, ex leaves in wind
Dostoyevsky - Correct Answer ✔✔ Some things are not meant to be understood
Objective faith - Correct Answer ✔✔ faith based on reason
Naturalism - Correct Answer ✔✔ all things can be figured out according to natural law
Bias - Correct Answer ✔✔ Everyone has biases, even not having one is having one
Secular humanism - Correct Answer ✔✔ humans can control mankind's destiny with
PNA (positive mental attitude)
Intelligent design - Correct Answer ✔✔ the complexity of nature is evidence of creation
technology - Correct Answer ✔✔ applied science, science in everyday life
Science is Amoral, meaning - Correct Answer ✔✔ it doesnt make moral decisions for
individual, cannot justify moral decisions alone, is up to person to apply scientific
knowledge
Scientific Method - Correct Answer ✔✔ 1. Identify Problem: observe, ask question
2. Research: what have others done?
3. Hypothesis: Educated guess, prediction
4. Experiment: control stays the same, independent variable researchers change,
dependent changes w independent changes
5. Gather Data: qualitative = quality, quantitative = #
6. Analyze Data: discussion, accept/reject hypothesis & why
7. Repeatability: repeat experiment & get same results
8. Share findings w others
