text: "A theory is scientific if and only if it divides the class of basic statements into the following two non-empty sub-classes: the class of all those basic statements with which it is inconsistent, or which it prohibits—this is the class of its potential falsifiers , and the class of those basic statements with which it is consistent, or which it permits ."
text: While anybody is free to approach a scientific inquiry in any fashion they choose, they cannot properly describe the methodology as scientific, if they start with the conclusion and refuse to change it regardless of the evidence developed during the course of the investigation.
text: Ordinarily, a key question to be answered in determining whether a theory or technique is scientific knowledge that will assist the trier of fact will be whether it can be tested. Scientific methodology today is based on generating hypotheses and testing them to see if they can be falsified; indeed, this methodology is what distinguishes science from other fields of human inquiry. Green 645. See also C. Hempel, Philosophy of Natural Science 49 ; K. Popper, Conjectures and Refutations: The Growth of Scientific Knowledge 37 .
