my definition of science in my own words
My formal (but open to improvement) definition of 'science': A science is a method, a set of rules using fact and logic, for evidence gathering and testing truth claims in a given field of inquiry, rules which are publicly usable (i.e., neutrally applied to all participants), and which can reasonably be said to lead to the truth of that particular area.
