Material Detail

Science is a method of investigation, no more, no less. And that method has strict rules. A specific science, like biology or physics, has a structure of concepts based on the work of generations of scientists. To view concepts as "facts" is to miss the point completely. Meaningful research can only be undertaken after one has understood these basic concepts which so many before us struggled to formulate (ps--"understand" does not mean "believe!"). Trying to do meaningful research without understanding basic science concepts is like trying to write a novel before you know the alphabet or how to read.
