Scientific ApproachIt [science] is not perfect. It is only a tool. But it is by far the best tool we have, self correcting, ongoing, [and] applicable to everything. It has two rules. First: there are no sacred truths; all assumptions must be critically examined; arguments from authority are worthless. Second: whatever is

inconsistent with the facts must be discarded or revised.—Carl Sagan (1980, p. 333)
