You're obviously angling for some ludicrous "repeat of the moment in history" ...and maybe that's why you don't understand the criticism. If I do what you do, and use the same sources you do, we should arrive at the same conclusion, the same results. Further, that implications of your proposition which you -did not- explore would also yield confirming data.(August 22, 2016 at 9:52 pm)Faith No More Wrote: It's determined by the whole process. From the methodology used to the falsifiable conclusion to the repeatability of experiment to the peer-review. Every step has to be followed properly for it to be science.
I would agree, that the conclusion needs to be falsifiable. I think that repeatability is debatable, does the study in question only become science once it is repeated? What about historical sciences.... what exactly is it you are saying needs to be repeatable?
If, for example..you are a "historian" that contends that there was a mass migration of hebrews through the desert, and that you have dug up archeological evidence of it, I should be able to go a digging as well...and find it.
If you're a "historian" that contends that christ was really real, and that you have some stories which demonstrate this, I should be able to read those same stories and come to the same conclusion.
