Answer 1

If observations are not made about how something happens/works, then we don't know what the occurrence of the process means (interpretation & explanation).  Look up the definition of the word "science"- to me it means studying and/or confirming/disputing myths, apart from facts.  I think we can say that when we know something for a fact, that fact was tested as a myth and was found to be true, thus it is a fact.  Science is based on facts, isn't it?  If you have just a hyothesis, test it, and if it holds up, it becomes a fact, or a piece of evidence that proves something, just like science experiments do... is this helping any?  Basically all I'm saying is that without observations, we can't make decisions- that's the interpretation and explanation part of it.  Let's say we didn't observe the world around us, what would we make of it then?  We wouldn't be able to relate processes/events like hunting to survival or malnutrition to disease, that sort of thing, and wouldn't know why the diesease is there, let alone how to cure the disease, prevent it, etc....
