science
Definition
Body of knowledge comprising of measurable or verifiable facts acquired through application of the scientific method, and generalized into scientific laws or principles. While all sciences are founded on valid reasoning and conform to the principles of logic, they are not concerned with the definitiveness of their assertions or findings. In the words of the US paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould (1941-), "Science is all those things which are confirmed to such a degree that it would be unreasonable to withhold one's provisional consent.”
