The Scientific Method

One of the greatest legacies of the European Enlightenment is a scientific methodology that allows us to make increasingly accurate observations about the world around us. This methodology is based on the assumption that all we need in order to comprehend nature is a solid understand of the laws and processes that we can observe and test in the natural world. The supernatural does not enter the equation, because it does not rovide us with any explanations that can be test empirically.
