| | The last homework we had included this question:
"In modern science, what is the standard of truth?"
One of my students said this:
"We 'average people' put our faith into the scientific experts, like Einstein, and we believe that what may seem like gibberish to us is in fact truth. ...the 'average person' is just to accept the conclusions of those with greater knowledge in the subject."
...
Kinda like me when I go to the car mechanic's.
That's HER standard of truth. What's yours?
Another student said this:
"In modern science, the standard of truth is the church doctrine."
Another said this:
"In modern science, the standard of truth is the media."
K, now I feel like they just weren't listening when we went over this question in discussion section. :(
