Spoken like a true graduate of the 3ed grade. Science can not be true. There is nothing there to be true. “Science” makes no truth claims. Science is a process of observation, evaluation, and it is used by people to support truth claims. People make truth claims using science. Science is nothing more than a useful tool. We use it because it works. When you find something better, we will use that instead.
SCIENCE: noun
- The intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.
Where do you see a truth claim? Calling science true, completely misses the point of engaging in science. Science is merely the best method we have to date for supporting claims of truth made by people.
