Major Lessons Learned

Major lessons learned are that there are big difference between Philosophy and Science. Philosophers like to start with their conclusions and work to prove them.  When it came to trying to figure out what the world was like, philosophers tended to argue about what the world should be like.  Science was born as a rejection of this method.  Its goal was to figure out what the world was really all about and its primary tool was actual experimentation.

        We've all seen philosophy at its worst.  Philosophers are often completely disconnected from reality and more recently, don't care. It's not surprising science would want to distance itself from philosophy.  It becomes even more personal for the scientist when he's told that he must conform to preconceived views of the world.
