  Being an Absolute Skeptic -- Miller 284 (5420): 1625 -- Science
For their part, philosophers may be hardly less nettled when scientists claim for science, and for scientific knowledge, an intellectual authority that for more than 250 years has been known to be logically untenable.
The results of science are not certain, it is agreed, but they come close; they are not irrevocably proved by observation and experiment--that asks too much--but they are overwhelmingly supported by observation and experiment.
Where the relativist who diminishes science and the justificationist who magnifies it are prone to agree is in supposing that skepticism and relativism come to much the same thing: that to deny that science is justified is to deny that it can tell the truth.

 HOS: 1. What is Science   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Neither will science be understood to be abstract theories such as found in astrophysics or elementary particle physics that are practically beyond understanding by anyone outside the few specialists working at the frontiers of these specializations.
Then can science be defined by looking at the range of activities "scientists do." Many of us would be hard-pressed to say much more about the nature of science than that science is whatever it is scientists do for a living.
A descriptive definition was said to be that science is what is "accepted by the scientific community" and is "what scientists do." The obvious implication of this description is that, in a free society, knowledge does not require the imprimatur of legislation in order to become science.

Neither science nor theology can be pursued w/o a measure of intellectual daring, for neither is based on incontrovertible grounds of knowledge.
Science and theology have this in common, that both are investigations of what is, the search for increasing verisimilitude in our understanding of reality.
It was the primary text in Dr. William Dean's Science and Religion Ph-D level course at the Iliff School of Theology in the spring of 2001.

 Jan Beyea and Daniel Berger, Scientific Misconceptions Among Daubert Gatekeepers: The Need for Reform of Expert Review ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
This article supports the critics of Daubert, who see science as a contentious process, rather than a catalog of truths, and who argue that courts are now demanding more of individual scientists and engineers than is expected of them in their own research and practice.
What makes "science" "scientific," however, is not consensus, but rather a preference for trying to resolve controversies through experiment and testing, rather than through rhetorical argument alone.
This view that science is difficult and at the limit of human abilities contrasts with what we shall call in this article the "von Neumann school of science," which tended to believe in absolute truths, did not believe that good scientists made mistakes, and thought that scientists who disagreed with them were fools.

Faigman calls the National Academies' report on bullet-lead analysis an "exemplary handling of the subject." In fact, he would like to see all disputed forensics sciences, as well as psychological evaluations such as repressed memories and battered-woman's syndrome, get this kind of critical assessment.
Although the judge later reversed his ruling, the development highlighted the need to hold forensics sciences to the same, high standards required in other areas of science.
We should be careful, especially where the death penalty is involved, not to be guilty of hubris in the application of scientific knowledge.

 TIGR's J. Craig Venter Takes Aim at the Big Questions
In 1987, Venter, a former surf-bum and Vietnam medic, was researching adrenaline receptors at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Strokes (NINDS) when he read a paper by Caltech's Leroy Hood in Nature about an automatic gene sequencer.
He then pushed the idea of using cDNA libraries and Expressed Sequence Tags (EST) for sequencing, and when the National Institutes of Health (NIH) wouldn't fund his approach, he went out on his own.
Venter would run the research institute known as The Institute for Genomic Research, or TIGR, while HGS would have first shot at the sequences.

All School of Engineering undergraduates must complete at least six humanities and social science elective courses from the school's approved list of courses in order to satisfy School of Engineering and ABET accreditation requirements for breadth and depth.
For the breadth requirements, it is recommended that the courses include approved offerings from at least three different School of Arts and Sciences humanities and social science departments.
Courses that are cross-listed with other departments may be taken under either course number—i.e., Anthropology 1524 is equivalent to Fine Arts 1650, and may be used to satisfy the depth requirement in either department.

 The Galileo Project | Science | Tycho Brahe
Tyge (Latinized as Tycho) Brahe was born on 14 December 1546 in Skane, then in Denmark, now in Sweden.
Celestial spheres faded out of existence between 1575 and 1625.
If Tycho destroyed the dichotomy between the corrupt and ever changing sublunary world and the perfect and immutable heavens, then the new universe was clearly more hospitable for the heliocentric planetary arrangement proposed by Nicholas Copernicus in 1543.
