THE STUDY OF SCIENCE

For hundreds of years, progress in search for a much better life has been slow.

The world we live in now was then dominated by a vast number of customs, beliefs, and traditions that held back scientific progress for centuries.


Take the early Greek for example. They were more into supernatural powers, mythology, and reliable on changes and movements of heavenly bodies.


According to Aristotle, a great philosopher, human being begins by nature desires to know.

They seek the truth.

They explore the environment to gain knowledge of the undying structure and composition of the material world.


The Greeks were probably the first to “create” science when they used deductive thinking in investigation of phenomena.

In fact Thales (640-546 B.C.), a Greek philosopher, astronomer, and engineer, originated the science of deductive geometry which was later developed and systematized by Euclid.


As time has past, many other science had studied and applied what they’ve learned and discovered in science. They use it and created gadgets to make life easier.


Not to long ago, at Roslin Institute in Scotland, Dolly, a cloned lamb, was introduced by Ian Wilmut and his colleagues.

Before this event, cloning was thought to be only for plants or tinier organisms.
