Question

Which of the following is NOT an assumption that scientists must make?

Scientific ideas can change or be thrown out, as needed.

Scientific ideas are less likely to be shown to be wrong the more they have been tested.

Natural laws are the same everywhere and at any time.

A scientific idea will be accepted if there is only a small amount of evidence that goes against it.

Answer 1

What's your guess?

Answer 2

B?

Answer 3

That's not necessarily true.

Let's look at the last choice a bit...

If someone proposed an idea to you, would you accept it even though there is evidence against it?

For example:
I tell you that all roses are red, but you recall seeing pink roses at a flower shop. Would you accept my statement as true, disregarding the small evidence against it?

Answer 4

Yeah

Answer 5

You would accept my statement even though you know that there is evidence against it?

Answer 6

Actually im not sure.

Answer 7

Okay.

The sun is made of ice.

Do you agree?

Answer 8

No

Answer 9

Why?

Answer 10

Because its to hot to be made of ice.

Answer 11

Right, so you don't accept my statement because you know there is evidence against it.

Likewise is the case in science. An idea won't be accepted as true if there is evidence against it.
