True or False ';Science is the only way to acquire true knowledge of reality';?

Why do you agree or disagree?True or False ';Science is the only way to acquire true knowledge of reality';?
False.


Science is a _good_ way to acquire knowledge of our physical world.





There are other ways and other planes of existance.





Those who trust fully in science (er..ah Science) alone are deceived into the thought that science is the _only_ way to truth.True or False ';Science is the only way to acquire true knowledge of reality';?
It's not the only way.





The knowledge generated by science is accepted so long as the phenomenon it describes continues to occur the way scientific theories predict. When we come across something new we amend our knowledge.





I don't know what you define by ';true knowledge';, but we don't know everything. And that applies whether you observe reality through science, religion or philosophy.
true. what other way are you going to use. there is no other way of acquiring knowledge.
Disagree





Science is one of many tools.





A tool is only as good as the person using it.





Every tool has a limitation, that's why there are many tools to choose from in life.
Science is a very useful tool, up to a point. But science has failed to explain any number of things - how many things do scientists disagree on? Some things could only be proven scientifically if we could go back in time. Faith and/or personal experience is required for many other things. What can science tell us about the afterlife? It can't even tell us if there is one. Doesn't science still insist that bees and hummingbirds shouldn't be able to fly?
Sorry, science is not good at always giving black/white, yes/no answers to questions like this. That said, the scientific explination to he origin of the universe is a much better one that some six thousand year old legend.
';Science'; translated from latin is knowledge so I think that answers your question.
You mean is the only way?? Nope. Not all sciences reveal the reality even mysterious ones.
True!





I agree because it's the only method that actually works. No other method can result in the knowledge required for the production of toasters, nylons, washing powder, and microwave ovens.
Science is the only way to acquire true knowledge of reality because the word science describes it self i.e. systematic study.For instance we take help of Science to go to its root.So now we can say that through science we gain true knowledge.
