Evolution And The Nature Of Falsifiable Essay

Science has been around for a long time. It was during the Renaissance period that modern science was born. If it weren’t for science, we wouldn’t have such simple pleasures such as medicine. Some of the things that science has done for us have become such a regular necessity that we don’t even think about it anymore and just take it for granted. Science has helped with other things too; everything in the range of electricity to agriculture to technology. Science has been developing more and more over time and will just continue to grow into the future years. The definition of science is a particular way of knowing about the world. This definition comes from the National Academy of Science in its Teaching about Evolution and the Nature of

The NAS (National Academy of Science) says that the observations and experiments that they do are fundamental. They state “Anything that can be observed or measured is amenable to scientific investigation. Explanations that cannot be based upon empirical evidence are not parts of science…The statements of science are those that emerge from the application of human intelligence to data obtained from observation and experiment.” (National Academy of Science) The scientific method is also used in scientific explanations. It goes observationshypothesisexperimentconclusion. The hypothesis will lead to predictions which will be tested by experiments. If the experiment is verified, then that means that the hypothesis is justified and supported with scientific data. Religion is just another way of knowing the world. Science bases its knowledge and statements off of observations and experiments; religion bases all of its knowledge and statements off of faith. The only difference between religion and science is the component of faith. Faith statements cannot be tested through the scientific method. They are just believed to be true due to divine

It just impacts life in general. If it weren’t for science we wouldn’t have medicine. Medicine is something that we take for granted now because we can get it now so easily. Scientist’s are always working on new cures for different types of diseases every day. One cure that they have been working on avidly with doctors for years is a cure for cancer. Cancer has impacted my life in a negative way. On my father’s side of the family, my Nana was diagnosed with breast cancer. It had spread a little bit down to her hip and she ended up needing a hip replacement. She is thankfully still alive with me today. It has affected my mom’s side of the family a little bit more. When my aunt was younger, doctors found a potentially cancerous tumor inside my aunt’s brain. They were able to remove it no problem and it never returned. She was however though not able to have children. My grandpa (mom’s father) passed away about a year and a half ago from a mixture of lung cancer, and Parkinson’s disease. He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease a couple of years before he died. Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disease of the nervous system marked by tremor, muscular rigidity, and slow, imprecise movement, chiefly affecting middle-aged and elderly people. It is associated with degeneration of the basal ganglia of the brain and a deficiency of the neurotransmitter dopamine. To help with the Parkinson’s, doctors prescribed him a dopamine supplement called L-Dopa.
