• Alchemy can be regarded as the precursor of the modern science of chemistry prior to the formulation of the scientific method. ...
• The common perception of alchemists is that they were pseudo-scientists who attempted to turn lead into gold, believed all matter was composed of the four elements of earth, air, fire, and water, and dabbled around the edges of mysticism and magic. ...
• Up to the 18th century, alchemy was considered serious science in Europe; for instance, Isaac Newton devoted a great time to the Art. ...
• As the obscure — hermetic, of course — language of the alchemists is gradually being "deciphered", historians are becoming more aware of the intellectual connections between that discipline and other facets of Western cultural history, such as the Rosicrucian society and other mystic societies, witchcraft, and of course the evolution of science and philosophy. ...
• An eleventh century Iranian alchemist named al-Biruni reported that they "have a science similar to alchemy which is quite peculiar to them. ...
• The first point of the "Emerald Tablet" tells the purpose of hermetical science: "in truth certainly and without doubt, whatever is below is like that which is above, and whatever is above is like that which is below, to accomplish the miracles of one thing. ... In other words, the human body (the microcosm) is affected by the exterior world (the macrocosm), which includes the heavens through astrology, and the earth through the elements. ...
• One very important concept introduced at this time, originated by Empedocles and developed by Aristotle, was that all things in the universe were formed from only four elements: earth, air, water, and fire. ...
• True alchemy never regarded earth, air, water, and fire as corporeal or chemical substances in the present-day sense of the word. ...
• In essence, he felt that reason and faith could be used to understand God, but experimental philosophy was evil: "There is also present in the soul, by means of these same bodily sense, a kind of empty longing and curiosity which aims not at taking pleasure in the flesh but at acquiring experience through the flesh, and this empty curiosity is dignified by the names of learning and science. ...

• Gaia theory - A group of scientific theories about how life on Earth may regulate the planet's biosphere to make it more hospitable to life. ...
• Gaia theory predecessors - A discussion of proto-scientific, mystical and religious views about life on Earth that bear similarity to Gaia theory. ...
• On the one hand, the distinction between the family of "Gaia theories" and a relatively narrow "hypothesis" meshes well with other language and distinctions I've heard in science, and it's consistent with how I interpret Lovelock's usage of "Gaia theories" in that source I mentioned. ...
• I think this vague insinuation could be provocative to a fiercely pro-science and anti-new-agey person, because it looks a little like an effort to coopt and romanticize the Gaia theories and the views of the Gaia theorists by grouping the theories with ideas that are more religeous and cosmological. ...
• I think the precedents should be kept, otherwise this article will just show a scientific point of view only, when there is much more about Gaia than just science. ...
• This suggested to me that "Gaia thoery" actually means different things to different people: Among Earth modellers like Lovelock it seems to refer only to the mechanistic theories, but within the subculture of philosophically-minded non-scientists who embraced Lovelock's idea (which I suppose includes the author of that earlier version of the article) maybe it's commonly used to refer also to theories that suppose more spiritual and/or unmeasurable interactions. ...
• A "science" version where could be hinted social and politics aspects, as well as a more global version, where the theories themselves would be grossly outlined for more understanding. ...
• Anthere has saying that we must refer to certain ancient religious and mystical views of the Earth and/or cosmos as "Gaia theory". ...
• He did *not* use science to build upon earlier mystical beliefs; he created his own hypothesis by applying ideas from Biology to findings from atmospheric science. ...
• They may even have mistakenly come to believe that Lovelock didn't originate the Gaia hypothesis, but merely added science to previous mystical belief systems. But so what? We can certainly mention this set of beliefs in the article on Gaians, but it would be grossly inapprorpiate to jam it into an article on atmospheric science and biology, i. ...
• Finally, Anthere keeps demanding that since some people mix together science, radical politics, and these new-age belief systems, we are somehow obligated to cram all of this into the science articles. ...
• I never said I wanted to mix science with politics and new age stuff. ...
• Gaia theory - A group of scientific theories about how life on Earth may regulate the planet's biosphere to make it more hospitable to life. ...
• Unfortunately, Anthere still will npot accept any disambiguation between her political and religious beliefs, and an article solely on science. ...

• This method is believed to distinguish science from other intellectual traditions, such as painting, philosophy or theology. ...
• Strong differences of opinion exist among philosophers, historians, sociologists and even among scientists about what processes truly characterize science. ... Nevertheless, observers of science have spent a lot of effort over many centuries to understand how science works. ...
• 4 Science as a communal activity.
• Argument by analogy, which was popular in the ecclesiastical scholarly tradition, became much less acceptable in science (or "natural philosophy," as it was still called). ...
• Many historians, philosophers and sociologists regard this perspective as naïve, and see the actual operation of science as more complicated and haphazard. ...
• The question of how science operates has importance well beyond scientific circles or the academic community. In the judicial system and in public policy controversies, for example, a study's deviation from accepted scientific practice is grounds for rejecting it as "junk science. ...
• Science is a social activity, and one scientist's theory or proposal cannot become accepted unless it has become known to others (usually via publication, ideally peer reviewed publication), criticised, and finally accepted by the scientific community. ...
• In studying the motion of the Earth, we may use two distinct operational definitions: a solar day is determined by making two successive observations of the sun at the same position in the sky; a sidereal day is the time between two successive observations of a specific star at the same position in the sky. ... The length of these two kinds of day differs by about four minutes and is due to the motion of the Earth along its orbit around the Sun during a 'day'. ...
• Distinctions in operational definitions can also reflect important conceptual differences: for example, mass and weight are quite different concepts in science, but the distinction is often ignored in everyday life. ...
• An example is an ancient theory of how the Earth is supported. ...
• In Popper's view, any hypothesis that does not make testable predictions is simply not science. Something else useful and valuable perhaps (or perhaps not), but not science. ...
• Going back to the foundations of science and scientific explanations for things, no one has succeeded in finding any of those giant turtles. By now, observation has established that they must be invisible, allow undetectable penetration by spacecraft, and probably have giant rollers in their backs to allow for the Earth's rotation, else they would have been noticed by now, one way or another. ...

• Most ID proponents accept the scientific evidence fixing the age of the Earth at about 4. 55 billion years, compatible with Old Earth Creationism, while others are Young Earth Creationists. ... Johnson (now emeritus), is quoted as saying that issues such as the age of the earth can be taken up once the common enemy of evolution has been done away with. ...
• Opponents of ID accuse it of existing only as a disguise to try to sneak creationism into school science textbooks while evading the Establishment Clause of the U. ...
• Nearly all scientists consider it pseudo-scientific, on the grounds that it is an amalgam of false or unsupported claims within the realm of science, and of philosophical or religious claims outside the realm of science. (See methodological naturalism for a discussion of supernatural explanations in science. ...

• Is Astrology a Science? .
• Astrology is the science of knowing where the stars and planets are at any given time AND how the positions in relation to other stars might effect persons or events. ...
• Astrology is not a branch of science, it is simply a technique. ...
• I have no problem with the words "technique" or "practice" in the definition of astrology, but I do balk at the traditional notion that they "affect" things on earth. ...
• I will not delete the following paragraph but I will say before it, that the validity of astrology as a science is debatable - with good arguments for both sides. ...
• Is astrology an art or a science? A. ... In some ways it is a science, in as much as it follows a clearly definable set of rules and principles, based upon mathematical and astronomical calculations. In other ways it is an arts subject, in as much as the interpretation of an astrological chart is based upon a rich and symbolic language, and the art of synthesising hundreds of variables into a coherent interpretation is a skill based more upon language and psychology than on science. I personally feel that the best compromise is to call astrology a social science, if it has to have a label at all. ...
• What is science is a very large question it is a branch of philosophy called espistemology. ... There's is any epistemologic argument to qualify Astrology as a science. ...
• You appear to have an incorrect view of how science works. Science is inherently skeptical, and deals only with provisional truth, not absolute truth. ... Are you saying that the theories of astrology are not falsifiable? You can't maintain that science is inherently sceptical without being sceptical about science. ... Similarly, there are many versions of creationism (young-earth creationism, old-earth creationism, intelligent-design creationism), which are all mutually inconsistent. ... Didn't you just say that all science is provisional? In all this discussion, I haven't objected to your splitting off the Chinese astrology portion. ...
