But you don't intentionally make falsifiable claims....that's for religions to do....
Look up falsifiable. It doesn't mean false. (I'm your mean religions are false, so they make "false claims").
Religions often avoid making falsifiable claims. If you could show the claim to be clearly and throughly false, it would, at the margin, weaken the religion.
Science makes falsifiable claims all the time. A falsifiable claim is one that could possible be shown to be false. Science proposes hypothesis, falsifiable claims that are good working theories as to the what happens, why it happens, the way it happens, etc., and then tests these ideas, either refuting them, showing them to be false or likely false, or supporting them, showing that the evidence or experiment has not backed the idea that they are false.
To the extent that something is less and less possible to prove false, it is less and less science.
"proposing something that can stand the test of reproducibility" is another way of saying "making a falsifiable claim". |
