Science is the Only Objective Truth

[longship]

78. Nature is the only truth.

Science is the best description of that truth. No, it isn't perfect. Yes, there are mistakes. But science soldiers on.

No other discipline has science's record of achievements, no matter what the postmodernists say or think. (I use that last word in this context with some sarcasm.)

When science gets things wrong science is the first to admit it. When there are mistakes, science is what finds them. Science welcomes anybody's input, but it always manages to be other scientists who make the corrections.

An example from history:

Astrology didn't discover Uranus. Nor did it predict the existence and location of the planet we now know as Neptune. Granted, astrology quickly made all sorts of pronouncements about the profound influences these new large bodies have on the world's and humanity's affairs. But prior to when they were discovered, no astrologer made a case for possible outer planets. This was done by astronomers. In other words, scientists.

That's the way things are and that's the way things have been for nearly two centuries or more.

But it's nature who's the final arbiter.
