Science (from the Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge") refers in its broadest sense to any systematic knowledge-base or prescriptive practice that is capable of resulting in a prediction or predictable type of outcome. In this sense, science may refer to a highly skilled technique or practice. In its more restricted contemporary sense, science refers to a system of acquiring knowledge based on scientific method, and to the organized body of knowledge gained through such research. This article focuses on the more restricted use of the word. Science as discussed in this article is sometimes called experimental science to differentiate it from applied science—the application of scientific research to specific human needs—although the two are interconnected. Science is a continuing effort to discover and increase human knowledge and understanding through disciplined research. Using controlled methods, scientists collect observable evidence of natural or social phenomena, record measurable data relating to the observations, and analyze this information to construct theoretical explanations of how things work. The methods of scientific research include the generation of hypotheses about how phenomena work, and experimentation that tests these hypotheses under controlled conditions. Scientists are also expected to publish their information so other scientists can do similar experiments to double-check their conclusions. The results of this process enable better understanding of past events, and better ability to predict future events of the same kind as those that have been tested. From Wikipedia under the

Q. I think Science and religion can stregthen each other, for example, Evolution theory and creation theory can go hand in hand. While Christian accounts give the outline of how God created the world, science tells exactly how it was done. "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind" - Albert Einstein. Asked by Biinje - Sat Dec 8 15:35:29 2007 - - 17 Answers - 2 Comments A. Neither Science, nor religion is the whole picture. Science is incomplete, and religion is inconsistent. And they are both only parts of the whole. [add] To those of you who are staunchly married to either science or religion, let me make a subtle point. If your devotion is science: You must be aware that science is not a finished product and that there are forces, phenomena and concepts that we are only now just beginning to comprehend. Do you seriously think that the theories of today will remain unrefined as our understanding grows? To those devoted to Religion: I can only say that religion, like many things in life, evolves. Many of the religions of today bear little resemblance to their origins.
