SCIENCE TRUTH AND REALITY ESSAYS

"This vain presumption of understanding everything can have no other basis than never understanding anything.  For anyone who had experienced just once the perfect understanding of one single thing, and had truly tasted how knowledge is accomplished, would recognize that infinity of other truths of which he understands nothing." — Galileo Galilei

72 Nobel Laureates agreed that the essentials of science are:

• It is guided by natural law.
• It has to be explanatory by reference to natural law.
• It is testable against the empirical world.
• Its conclusions are tentative (are not necessarily the final word).
• It is falsifiable.

We recommend reading; A Different Universe, Reinventing Physics from the Bottom Down by Robert Laughlin, Nobel prize in physics.  This book is a must read for anyone deeply interested in the truths of basic science. 

It should be noted that the reference to natural law does not in any way rule out the existence of god but is only intended to prevent scientists from using God as an explanation when they reach a point where existing knowledge and theories do not provide an explanation and where science is capable of going. The fact that science does not and should not invoke god as the explanation, does not mean that science is in any way rejecting god's existence or claiming proof of nonexistence or proving that God is at some underling level necessary to "breath fire into the equations" of science.
