The '''Scientific Method''' is a procedure for the dispassionate inquiry into natural phenomena. It involves the careful collection of data and the development of [[Theory|theories]] which organize those facts into [[Falsifiablity|falsifiable]] explanations. Thus science is built up as a deliberately fragile structure, like a house of cards, that can collapse if any foundational principles are proven to be false. When theories move away from falsifiability and become dogmatic, such as assigning purely human causes for climate change, or assumptions based on faith alone, then we say they are not scientific.
