teaching has since become foundational for naturalistic thinking and scientism. Interestingly enough, his theory does not fit the definition of science. For a theory to be scientific, it must be able to be validated through the scientific method: A theory is proposed and predictions are made from it. These predictions are then tested through experimentation. • If the experiment fails, the theory must be discarded or modified. • If the experiment succeeds, it does not prove the theory true, but it does make it more probable that the theory is correct.
