The basis of modern science is observation and hypothesis.  It involves constructing the best theory to explain an occurrence based on the evidence at the time. Note, however, that the entire entry on Science in Conservapedia is filled to the brim with religion, creationist jargon, God etc. These are not testable hypotheses, so why do they dominate a page devoted to a pursuit that deals, always and only, with the naturalistic world?
