'''Science''' is a methodology for discovering and classifying [[knowledge]]. The scope of science is the portion of reality which is independent of [[religion|religious]], [[politics|political]], [[culture|cultural]], and [[philosophy|philosophical]] outlook; it includes all measurable [[phenomena]]. Science can be divided into two areas: [[natural science]], dealing with the [[physical]], [[natural]] world, and [[social science]], dealing with society and human nature.

Science differs from other methodologies of classifying knowledge in that a scientific theory is a description of the world which in principle is cabable of being disproved; this is known as [[falsifiability]]. It is this property which distinguishes science from other possible methods of discovering knowledge.
