observing, and deducting is basically science.
No it is not.
That is the first few stages of the scientific method. Science is things discovered using the scientific method.
It doesn't stop at those stages, and those first few stages prove absolutely NOTHING. It requires all of the stages to actually prove something.
so, no, it's not.. but it's the first few steps. :) LOL Thanks.
Hypothesis, plus controlled observation, repeated is part of it. Analysis/Deduction and links to other works is the last part.
Finally conclusions comes next.... based on observation and deduction.
I think I said it 'basically' as stated. I am aware of the extra steps, and repeatablity, etc.. also statistical analysis of errors, etc... I could go on, but most smart people who understand how things work get the gist of what I said.
Then you think wrong. You either stated it as the scientific method is stated, or you did not. In your case you did not. Moving words around and taking them into a context of your choice and skipping steps, ignoring others, and jumping to conclusions without challenge is not even close to the scientific method, and thus is NOT science. It is only opinion, guessing, and speculation. You can call it observation and hypothesis as that is as far as it goes.
That is a pretty ignorant conclusion to make. First Saying you can PROVE something is not doing it. So prove it. Don't just talk about it. First proving ONE thing and then making a conclusion about something completely different is not even close to proof or science. There is the saying "Correlation does not equal Causation." Your premise is a good example of this with one problem. It also doesn't actually even prove or show any correlation.
