In so far as a scientific statement speaks about reality, it must be falsifiable; and in so far as it is not falsifiable, it does not speak about reality.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Science is defined in various ways, but today it is generally restricted to something which is experimental, which is repeatable, which can be predicted, and which is falsifiable.
The falsification of scientific data or analysis is always a serious matter.
Science makes no pretension to eternal truth or absolute truth.
A good scientific theory is one which is falsifiable, which has not been falsified.
Science is not, despite how it is often portrayed, about absolute truths. It is about developing an understanding of the world, making predictions, and then testing these predictions.
In scientific work, those who refuse to go beyond fact rarely get as far as fact.
False facts are highly injurious to the progress of science, for they often endure long; but false views, if supported by some evidence, do little harm, for every one takes a salutary pleasure in proving their falseness.
The scientific spirit is of more value than its products, and irrationally held truths may be more harmful than reasoned errors.
Fruitful discourse in science or theology requires us to believe that within the contexts of normal discourse there are some true statements.
Science has everything to say about what is possible. Science has nothing to say about what is permissible.
