Chapter 2: What Is Science?

I often say that if you can measure that of which you speak, and can express it by a number, you know something of your subject; but if you cannot measure it, your knowledge is meager and unsatisfactory--

Lord Kelvin

"Science is an understanding of the quantitative relationships of nature" Dr. Sterling Talmage

These quotes describe science perfectly. Science is everywhere and has many different faces, but they always come back to these definitions.

Science problems can always stated with precision. For example, how long is a meter? How hot is a flame? How fast does sound travel? How is our main word here.

Scienntific questions, whether framed as specific hypotheses or not, are aimed merely at finding out the facts; as such, they cannot properly be either faith-promoting or faith-destroying, and only in relatively rare instances do they have any bearing on the matters properly covered by faith.

Science can be intimidating and most other religions see it has a faith-demoting matter. Contrary to that belief science can be faith-promoting.
