Science is not merely a collection of facts, concepts, and
useful ideas about nature, or even the systematic investigation of nature,
although both are common definitions of science. Science is a method of
investigating nature - a way of knowing about nature, that discovers reliable
knowledge about it. In other words, science is a method of discovering reliable
knowledge about nature. There are other methods of discovering and learning
knowledge about nature, but science is the only method that results in the
acquisition of reliable knowledge.
