To be convinced by a statement, I need solid evidence that proves the truth of that statement. After speculating on how to go about finding this evidence, I examine how the rest of society does so. Great credence is given to theories found in the humanities and natural sciences. Scientists are recognized as authoritative figures due to the recent development of inventions, medicine and scientific discoveries in the last century. This raises the question of how science has influenced and shaped the world with the credibility of its theories. This knowledge problem will be studied by analyzing how these two areas of knowledge approach a conclusion, evaluating the common reasons for the high-value positioning of scientific theories, comparing science with another area of ​​knowledge, and exploring the problems with this method of acquiring knowledge. I will try to explain why and to what extent scientific theories are convincing to the world at large. The natural sciences and the human sciences have different approaches to reaching a conclusion. The natural sciences use the “scientific method”. We trust natural scientists to think as they ask a question, perform basic research, construct a hypothesis, test that hypothesis through experimentation, examine the data to draw a conclusion, and communicate the results. A widely known example from previous natural sciences: the Catholic Church has considered the earth to be the center of the universe for hundreds of years. However, human scientists use a different approach. While water can undoubtedly be expected to freeze at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, humans exhibit no definite pattern of behavior. Studies in the humanities cannot be investigated exclusively through the means of sensory perception like the natural sciences. The main goal of these theories is to provide knowers with a set of basic ideas on which they can base their own set of beliefs and lifestyles. However, we must be careful about how much credibility we attribute to the theories of science. Scientific theories are not the ultimate truth and can lead to many misconceptions. You must learn to question, reason, and investigate on your own to avoid being misled by science. Works Cited1. "Steps of the scientific method." Ideas, answers and tools for Science Fair projects.
