Is science the study of probability?

Question

If absolute truth is unattainable, then scientific knowledge is based on theories deemed 'most probable'.

True or False?

p/s: Those who dispute the first premise please explain your position.

Answer 1

Science is the continual refinement of increasingly accurate approximations of the truth.

It is important to understand that science is a process, not a body of knowledge.  It is an extraordinarily useful and effective process.  A true scientist does not adhere to a theory with (dare I say it) religious zeal, but accepts the inevitable when evidence renders as untenable her or his earlier theories

Answer 2

Yes.

But this is not why people shouldn't trust science.

It's exactly why they should.

Answer 3

its ur way ov lukin a dem....if u can't find absolute truth...well i don knw wats dat,..but den believe in science or go n search 4 d truth...ki sach ki talsh hai...dur aakash hai...  

Answer 4

in the interest of the interest, the truth is unattainable, in the absolute form, in the such cases where there is not only the scientifc limits in the sense of the human evolution in it's capacity of sense observation. In these cases the truth is not most probable, but is proven that it is indeed true. In the way you define a specification. It includes the range of sense observation in the absolute, although it is not the ultimate absolution, which is beyond sense observation.
