Science = Truth, but what does Science + Politics = ?

    No.  First of all, science does not equal truth.  At best it validates a select set of facts.  It validates a select set of facts that depend on certain sets of circumstances.

    What is scientifically accurate today may change.  A new set of facts can outweigh and even dismiss an old set of facts.   Both are or were science at one point in time.

    So, what is science?  What is truth?  Eternity lasts forever.  That is truth.

    No, science is the search for truth by following universally accepted principles. It goes astray when mixed with political agenda. This post was edited by O-uknow at July 14, 2017 10:15 PM MDT

    Political Science is a university class.

    "Science = Truth" is a postulate that most everyone know to be incorrect.

    - Newtons laws of gravity were fine, and good enough for inventing airplanes.
    - But Einsteins Graviational theories are a lot better. and are needed for building spaceships
    - As yet, nobody knows what we will need to build interstellar spaceships. (It may even be that Einstein is enough) This post was edited by JakobA the unAmerican. at July 14, 2017 1:14 AM MDT

    Wrong, all were true within scope. When taken out of scope only did Newton and Einstein become not true. Many truths are conditional. This post was edited by O-uknow at July 14, 2017 10:19 PM MDT
