Since this has become a free for all by the trolls, allow me to inject some logic in to the thread. Most of the claimed victories of the scientific method were nothing of the kind. Architecture? Computers? Electricity?
Get real, idiots. Unless you can present peer reviewed papers outlining the "scientific method" being used, you are talking shit like usual. Most of what you claim is thanks to the "scientific method" is actually thanks to the zetetic method.
Trial and error, usually. By engineers. Not scientists. Read the definition below, and try to understand it ffs.
The zetetic method differs from the usual scientific method in that in using it, one bases conclusions on experimentation and observation rather than on an initial theory that is to be proved or disproved. A scientist following the zetetic method formulates the question then immediately sets to work making observations and performing experiments to answer that question, rather than speculating on what the answer might be before testing it out.
Some feel this is a more reasonable method than the normal scientific method because it removes any preconceived notions and biases the early formation of a hypothesis might cause, and leaves the conclusion up entirely to what is observed.
Then you will realise that the
scientific method which you so adore produces:
NOTHING.
Engineers are responsible for
all of the technology you enjoy.
If you wish to exclaim, "but without the scientists doing their work, the engineers would have nothing to work with!"
That is bullshit as well. Engineers, engineer. Scientists, theorize and produce...
NOTHING!
