Very true. I just hope this isn't another Cardiff Giant.

I accept the idea that a lot of science is just theory based on everything that can be guessed at.

If it were a sure thing, you and I would be rich, right? I mean by applied the scientific method, we could just go out and pick up all the gold nuggets we are guessing are still out there.

Scientific method refers to a body of techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge. To be termed scientific, a method of inquiry must be based on gathering observable, empirical and measurable evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning.[1] A scientific method consists of the collection of data through observation and experimentation, and the formulation and testing of hypotheses.[2]
