What Is It About Theories in the Human Sciences and Natural Sciences That Makes Them Convincing
When I was very young, my science teacher taught me Charles Darwins ontogeny workable action, and I never doubted that theory since Darwin is a head- cognise scientist and the countenance in the field of biology. Until superstar day, I became a Christian I subscribe to to accept an another(prenominal) theory which is that human beings ar created by God. My knowledge had a crash. I have never seen neither earlier species split to human beings nor God creates human beings by using mud. That is when I started to gesture the knowledge that I have acquired from all the beas of knowledge. Why I am confident(p) by the theories?What do I or should I really believe? When I was first introduced to Newtons 3rd law of nature of motions which is the mutual force of action and reaction between two bodies are equal, opposite and collinear I doubted it for a very desire time. Since whatsoever time when I play roller skate and hit to a wall, I am the angiotensin converting enzyme who falls and got hurt, then how can I believe the wall got the equal mutual force from me as well? However, champion day, my teacher brought two very(prenominal) sized basketballs to the class. He enthrone both of them on the floor and called two students to push the balls.When the basketballs collided with each other both of them started to move backward. That is how my teacher proved Newtons third law of motion and thats when I started to believe. My sight as one of the sense perception witnessed someone prove the law and based on the past experiences, my sense perception rarely lies to me ergo I genuine something that I did not believe in rude(a) science because of my doctrine in the sense perception. Also, as an IB graphic science student, I knew that thither is a very strict systematic methodology ( observance, hypothesis, sample, law, and theory) in natural science.If some scientist wants to find a theory form his or her observation then he or she needs to follow th e methodology only so that other scientist could use the same method to recreate the experiment and to prove the theory. In other words, natural science is universal the theory will not change because of culture, gender or age and so on just like playing piano, as long as one gets the piano sheets, the melody that he or she plays will be the same with others who are at the incompatible age or have different cultural background.However, ones emotion could effects the accuracy of the natural sciences sometimes. The natural scientists therefore are required to do the experiment all over and over again also they try to control all the possible variables in order to avoid the result affected by the emotion. For me, I can prove theories in natural sciences by using the same method as the scientist did. No matter how many times I do the experiment. The result does not change. The strict and universally accept methodology makes me have a very strong faith in theories in natural sciences .Even though we can use different methods to justify some of the natural science theories, some of the theories are so abstract that point some of the scientists cannot understand them. When facing those theories that I am not expert enough to question or to challenge, I am not a natural science student anymore, I became like an uneducated child, scarce I am still convinced by those abstruse theories. This is not blind faith, I used antecedenting as a centering of knowing to decide whether the knowledge is convincing.When I read the Brief explanation of Time by Steven Hawking I did not understand any theories mentioned in the book, but I still believe it. This is because that since a propagate of Hawkings theories had been commonly accepted, I believe that he is an berth in the field of physics and many other scientists are convinced by Hawking too. As he has been right for a long time ergo I assumed there is enough reason to believe he is right for this time as well. Since there are not many potions and are not many theories that I known of are competing with Hawkings.I am sometimes convinced by one natural science theory simply because that the scientist who came up with the theory is the authority and there are not any other theories to believe. If natural sciences are the studies of non-living objects then in my opinion human sciences studies the most vigorous objects, the minds of human beings. As I mentioned earlier, natural science is like playing piano, as long as people follow the symbol written on the piano sheets, they will get the same melody. In contrary, human beings
