Question

Which of the following is true of science?

It can be disproven by philosophy and religion.
It does not change after new evidence is discovered.
It is based on the personal opinions of scientists.
It is based on testable and replicable evidence.

Answer 1

The correct statement is:

**It is based on testable and replicable evidence.**

Science relies on empirical evidence collected through observation and experimentation, and scientific claims must be testable and replicable by others in order to be considered valid. The other statements do not accurately reflect the nature of science.
