Science requires different abilities.
Scientists formulate and test their explanations of nature using observation, experiments, and theoretical and mathematical models. It is normal for scientists to differ with one another about the interpretation of the evidence or theory being considered. It is part of scientific inquiry to evaluate ideas proposed by other scientists. In historical perspective, science has been practiced by different individuals in different cultures. Tracing the history of science can show how difficult it was for scientific innovators to break through the accepted ideas of their time to reach the conclusions that we currently take for granted.
