Why is science important?

Content: In the latter case — and this is what the news media miss — we don’t simply proclaim the new result to be the ultimate truth and require every article and book in science to be rewritten to fit the finding. Instead, if the finding is contrary to theory, we repeat the experiment in the same and different ways, check to see that we’re not making a mistake, and determine whether different experiments along the same line don’t reveal that, in fact, our prior knowledge was in error. THEN we can proclaim “actually, eating chocolate cures everything.” Until and unless all of those steps are taken, all we can say is “this one study done somewhere once indicated a statistical association between eating chocolate and longevity, but it didn’t control for other factors very much, which means we can’t really conclude much.” Understanding the scientific method, which is best done by learning science and how we have come about that knowledge, inoculates you to what otherwise is a constant stream of noise.

Science is important for our knowledge. In fact some beliefs were changed after science developed more accurate technology to study outer space. I am not saying those beliefs were bad that they need to be changed. I guess science has modified those unfounded beliefs. Although humans occupying the earth are now on its peak of scientific discoveries which may mean we learn in an expanding world, how ever crazy this world maybe.
