The Scientific Method is the only way to gain Truth

They say that a real debate can not happen unless both minds are open to the possibility to being wrong. The scientific method even holds to this is that the hypothesis does not need to be confirmed by the results. In this regard I appreciate my opponent for this debate.True means in accordance to fact. [1]Fact means indisputable in a case. [2]Reality means a thing that exists in fact, having previously only existed in one’s mind. [3]There are many other definitions but one can see how true and fact are so tightly related that they are even listed as synonyms to each other.There are many formalized processes to determine fact or truth. Inductive Reasoning with principles of validity attempt to determine the probability of something being fact. Evident in terms like If p therefore p is likely. Deductive reasoning asserts the certainty of things as fact. Such as I stub my toe, my toe hurts. The pain and reason for the pain are indisputable. There is also Abduct Reasoning and other systems established like Cartesian Logic (which is the bulk of most process in use today.) It is keen to point out that the Scientific Method is categorized as an Inductive Method. It draws inferences from the evidence. This makes the facts or truth established by science to be a probability. Facts established this way are highly likely of being the case but not indisputable.Many Scientific Theories were rejected when they first were formalized. Einstein's theory of special relativity was rejects because it predicted a finite past and expanding or shrinking universe. This was against he status quo that most accepted the universe being eternal and stagnant. The Big Bang theory was rejected at first for the same reasons.It is clear by historical and biographical history that genius is a rebellious spirit. "The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.", Albert Einstein.So Truth is relative to the person, not subjective. The same applies to facts. To one observer all his tests can confirm his predictions. But this does not mean it holds true for all observers. The results are not 100% certain. Take for instance the case of time. Time intuitively feels as if it should be the same for all observers. This we know is not the case. Our satellites in orbit actual have to adjust their time for dilation being further from Earth's gravity. And the toy universe experiment that predicts time could be an illusion. [4]To keep an open mind is not so open your brain falls out. We must understand that we are an observer and should make choices based on the facts (I.E. they agree with our reality). I think that is what opponent would like to say. That the Scientific Method is the only way to arrive at facts that agree with our reality. I think I have sufficiently proved this incorrect as well.Moving on to a more subjective, metaphysical, idea of truth. As with my first example with Art. You hear sometimes a person views a piece of art. The artist's work elicits an emotion. In response the brain hurls back questions in retaliation. Questions that get unexpected answers. Then the person announces, "That has really opened my eyes." Curious the eyes are a organ of perception. The claim is the person's perception has been broadened, expanded, more encompassing of the actual truth. More in accordance with reality.If this perception is shared by most people you won't have a problem. I can hold up an apple and say it is red. You can look upon the same apple and agree it is red. We are not agreeing on the apple really been red. We are agreeing that we make similar statements about our perceptions. We agree with both say, "Ever time I see this wavelength I see what I identify as red."I hold up a piece of sandpaper I look at and say, "This is rough". You are blind folded feel the paper and say, "Yes, that is rough". Our perceptions differ in that mine is visual and yours is tactile; But we agree on the state of the subject.Point is You can have different methods to come to the same conclusion of fact. Fact being true in that it is in accordance to our reality as dictated by our observations. Our observation relative to our course.[1]http://www.oxforddictionaries.com...[2]http://www.oxforddictionaries.com...[3]http://www.oxforddictionaries.com...[4]http://www.newscientist.com...
