One of the fundamental tenets of science is that no theory is absolute; theories are constantly changing in response to the observation of new evidence. Hence, a scientific theory that begins with an immutable conclusion and attempts to "fit the facts" to that argument does not fall within the realm of true scientific research.{fact}

==Naturalism and science==
All Scientists through out the ages have worked under the assumption that there subjects of study have been controlled by natural and consistent laws. Naturalism is there for seen as a prerequisites for logical deduction to act on the observations made. With out the assumption that the universe is consistent we cannot apply the lessons drawn from an observation to any area other than the observatiopns themselves. If a chemical reaction occurs in a given solution in a lab in one city it is assumed that the same reaction can occur in a different lab in a different city on a different day because the chemical solution and situations will be the same, if a supernatural force were to enter the equation they could not be controlled for and could not be studied. By being supernatural a subject puts its self beyond the reach of science.
