The rules of
science
Aristotle:
The Four Causes: 1. Formal (a plan)
2.
Final (a purpose)
3. Material (what is used)
4. Efficient (what
causes change)
Science is a game, in
which we assume no God, and explain all the data as natural causation.
Rule #1:
Clear definitions
Rule #2: Look
at ALL the evidence
Rule #3:
Ascribe nothing to the gods
Aristotle:
The Four Causes: 1. Formal (a plan)
