RE: [asa] Coulter, and science

Science is a body of knowledge. It is also a process. Science is a method
or system by which we make observations, gather data, formulate theories,
arrive at conclusions, etc. A method can be labeled "scientific" if it
adheres to certain commonly accepted rules that have been established to
insure accuracy.
