As Jack aludes below, the question of what is the "scientific process"required
looms large in the ID thread. Also as I wrote earlier that I am
to teach students (quite rightly) about the way that scientists dotheir
work. Our mandatory syllabus makes this clear when it says we need tothis...
cover:
5.2 the nature and practice of science
c) apply scientific processes to test the validity of ideas and
theories
d) describe how an idea can gain acceptance in the scientific
community as either theory or law
g) identify that the nature of observations made depends upon the
understanding that the observer brings to the situation
My question still stands, and I really would like some input in
What is the scientific process that this syllabus assumes exists???Are
the distinctions made in the syllabus real?context

I cannot state too strongly how much I object to Larry's out of
twopartial quote of my posting. My posting consisted of two contrasting
sentences which were intended to be read together. The context of the
asenttences included the "standard" AAPT definition, which I don't findOthers
very enlightening.
Misrepresentation, Larry. Bad, Larry, really bad.
