Most scientists would not say that science leads to an
understanding of the truth. Science is a determination of what is
most likely to be correct at the current time with the evidence at
our disposal. Scientifi c explanations can be inferred from confi
rmable data only, and observations and experiments must be
reproducible and verifi able by other individuals. In other words,
good science is based on information that can be measured or
seen and verifi ed by other scientists.
