Scientific evidence

Historical explanations and scientific explanations are very different and similar. A historical explanation is an account of an event or events in history and it can reveal when the event takes place, how it takes place and the events that prompted that particular event to take place. A scientific explanation is a theory that reveals the reason why phenomena occur in the natural world. Although historical and scientific explanations are acquired through different means, knowledge in History and…

attraction. The Phrase "Law of attraction" was first used in the Colorado Gold rush as the NY Times described the wagon trains headed west in 1879. Since that time, the theory has seen several rises and falls. The law of attraction attempts to take scientific theories and apply them to life. It uses theories from chemistry and physics to try to explain the activities of the brain. In particular, the law of attraction tries to use these theories to explain how the brain waves can be changed to…

are steps that are drilled into us from elementary school on how the scientific method works. This is an extremely linear and conclusive approach, which does not do justice to just how complex and iterative the scientific process truly is. Science is never concludes and certainly does not follow a predetermined list of steps. However there are certain things that go into every scientific investigation. Many times the scientific process begins with an idea. These ideas can come from concern…

In forensic science, your ethics are essentially about properly analyzing a case, handling the evidence properly, and testifying in the best possible manner, and not ignoring, misrepresenting or misusing scientific evidence in your testimony especially (Bowen, 2009, Chapter 3). The following are the guiding principles involving ethics for a forensic scientist, “…should have technical competence and employ reliable methods of analysis… should maintain honest with respect to qualifications and…

Overall, the decision to interview a psychiatrist was an intellectual choice that was unfortunately compromised due to the ethical and legal boundaries of the particular interview questions. Upon reflection professional insight is a great source of evidence to support the research question. However, due to specific boundaries imposed at a high school level, another research process could have had potential to gain more effective and useful information. *refer to email, talk about the specific…

the process of identification of science “verification”, which means it is only scientific when dealing with empirical results, theories or experiments that are verifiable. Rudolf Carnap has his own set of testability and meaning, for example, the verification was later reduced to confirmation, and eventually toned down to probability. In short, Logical Positivism’s criterions of demarcation thinks that it is scientific if there…

practice that is systematic and relies on the research process, which uses the five steps of the scientific method. b. Importance: Why is it important to the field of social work? Social work research is important to the field of social work for several different reasons. Social work research allows for needed change to occur in the field of social work by supporting the need for change with evidence. It is common for change to occur based on social work research such as it has in the past in…

MT: The scientific method is the best method for determining what the universe around us is and how it works, this is provable based on the amount of evidence science has provided for the claims it has, while other methods rely on “faith” which by definition means you believe something without evidence. BP1: The scientific method has led to the conclusion that based on what we know about the state of the universe today we can demonstrate that the universe must have began with a singularity(a…

replicated the findings from the PDR at their clinic in two different conclusions. This research methodology does a good job practicing the replicability principle since results must to be duplicated when following the same method. Dr.Zoosk had adequate evidence to support his claim. To be confident in a…

discuss the importance of scientific research and evidence based practice by comparing four different sources to support the discussion. Scientific research can be defined as “a process of discovery and advancement of human knowledge” (Research methods for sports studies, Jones & Gratton, 2014, p.unknown) Research is important in the field of sports therapy because without it there would be no development of knowledge in the different practices used by sports therapists. Evidence based practice…
