On December 6, 2011 the AAAS Dialogue on Science, Ethics and Religion (DoSER) held an event called "Can Science Explain Everything?" in which MIT physcist Dr. Ian Hutchinson and Harvard physicist Dr. Lisa Randall discuss their thoughts on the limits and powers of science. To watch the entire event and read more about this fascinating subject please visit http://www.aaas.org/spp/dser/02_Events/Lectures/2011/ScientismEventBrief1.shtml or find us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/AAAS.DoSER
Maybe it's the way we teach science to our students that is to blame. Science is just another text book of "correct" answer/statements to be memorized as facts to regurgitate in an exam. Even during labs that supposedly demonstrate science in action, it's just an exercise of following a list of "correct" actions dictated by the instructions of the exercise to achieve that single "correct" laboratory data.
