Curtis Wilson-Patterson: Science is comprised of research, studies, evidence, etc; however, the sum of it is theories.

Curtis Wilson-Patterson: The field of science is always evolving. It calls upon its students to be open to new possibilites and remain life learners.

G. Yanez: I will have to disagree with you, Mr. Curtis. Science gives us knowledge, not just theories, theories are logic based conclusions that have not been fully accepted.

J. Olivas: I have to partly disagree with you there, Gustavo. Although I agree that theories are logically based conclusions I disagree that they are not fully accepted. For example, there is the "Theory of Gravity" which I am sure has been fully accepted.

N.Cuevas: I think that science gives us theories which helps us understand "knowledge and triuth."

G. Yanez: Science is a logic based structure that explains natural phenomena.

N.Cuevas: What do you think is more important: to prove theories as wrong or to discover new theories?

J. Olivas: Miss Nancy, I believe that when you discover new, correct theories you are therefore proving the older theories wrong so I would say that it is far more important to discover new theories.

L. Silva: Ms. Cuevas in response to your question, I believe it is more important to prove theories are wrong because that way we learn more about one field of science, rather than find infinite theories, but keep our ignorance bliss about them.

M. Agúndez: My previous posts were deleted...I would hav to agree with Mr. Yanez that science gives us knowledge and not just theories because if it were not for science we would have not known the components that make up the human genome or how the cells in our bodies work.

M. Agúndez: In my personal opinion i believe that to be able to prove certain theories wrong in the future, we need to understand other areas better and with the knowledge attained humanity will be able to prove and/or disprove previous theories.

A.Castaneda: In response to Ms. Cuevas question, I believe is more important to prove a theory wrong. If we continue to discover more and more thories each day however, we dont completely know if they are logically true what good is it for us? It becomes useless human beings.

A.Castaneda: Eventhough science is based on logical evidence, is it based completely more on imagination and beliefs than logic and evidence?

L. Silva: I disagree with you Ms. Castaneda. Science is not based on imagination. Imagination is simply one of the factors we have to set our mind to in order to access the billions of possible fields within the way of knowing.

G. Yanez: Olivas, it's not called the " Theory of Gravity", those are " THE LAWS OF GRAVITY", since it's been fully accepted, they are laws, not theories anymore.
