So I put this list together to help people understand the difference.
"Science is a method of finding things out: observation, testing and experimentation is the ultimate judge of the truth of a concept. All scientists are skeptics – it is important to doubt in order to test concepts and look in new directions. Anyone who doesn't doubt, i.e., anyone who isn't a skeptic, isn't a scientist."
(Richard Feynman)
"If any exception to a concept can be proven by observation, the concept is wrong."
(Albert Einstein)
"The number of scientists who believe something, is irrelevant to the validity of a concept."
[In other words, 'consensus' means nothing.]
(Galileo)
Government can't decide "the truth" of a scientific concept. (Mackay)
Future predictive computer models cannot PROVE anything by definition!
(Mackay)
