  Philosophy of Science, by Roger Jones
The shift in the western mind from the medieval to the modern was underpinned by the growth of science.
Science progresses when a theory is shown to be wrong and a new theory is introduced which better explains the phenomena.
At the boundaries of science new paradigms are emerging to challenge the current orthodoxy, it is an open question as to how the science of the next century will develop.

 What is Science?
Science, in contrast, is the attempt to reach demonstrable, replicable, conclusions about the natural world (and social science is the corresponding attempt to reach demonstrable conclusions about the social or human world).
Science and religion are very different, both in what they try to do and in the approaches they use to accomplish their goals.
Science and religion thus are not, or should not be, competing approaches, because they seek to accomplish different things, and by different methods.

 Science Quotes
Science is nothing but trained and organized common sense differing from the latter only as a veteran may differ from a raw recruit: and its methods differ from those of common sense only as far as the guardsman's cut and thrust differ from the manner in which a savage wields his club.
Science is facts; just as houses are made of stone, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house, and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.
Experimental science is the queen of sciences and the goal of all speculation.

Additionally, observational studies exploring dietary intake patterns and body weight in various population groups have suggested that getting adequate amounts of dairy not only promotes an overall healthy diet, but may also promote healthy weight.
The current body of research includes randomized clinical trials (considered the "gold standard" of science), observational, animal and cellular studies conducted by leading research institutions throughout the country.
This intriguing connection is being studied worldwide -- with positive results reported in Denmark, Greece, Italy and other countries.
