Evolution of Galaxies and Stars
Friday, April 20, 2007 4 commentsWell, I'm sitting here in Astronomy, wishing that I was done with classes for the day, but I've only got one more to go to, so I'll live (I think...).
An interesting moment happened in Astronomy a couple days ago. The professor (whom normally I can't understand for the life of me) mane an interesting statement on Science.
He said that you can't have science without observation on theory. Ok, that seems pretty obvious. But then he goes on. He says that for something to be science, you have to have both, not just one or the other.
So then, that makes things a little more interesting. This factors into the whole macro-evolution (THANK YOU CURT!) argument. Which SURPRISINGLY ended up working with a pair of episode of South Park from Season 11 that I saw this past week while I should have been working on another paper.
The guest character had stated that evolution (in this case, MACRO-evolution) was scientific fact. Well, if you put this into case with what my professor has said, there is no way it is science if it is proven fact. And it isn't proven fact if it is scientific. This would mean that the therory of MACRO-evolution is still a theory, and is not proven as fact.
I dunno, I just thought that was interesting.
