1. Science is a method of investigating nature - a way of knowing about nature -- that discovers reliable knowledge about it. In other words, science is a method of discovering reliable knowledge about nature.
2. When one uses the scientific method to study or investigate nature or the universe, one is practicing scientific thinking. But scientific thinking is not reserved solely for scientists. Anyone can "think like a scientist" who learns the scientific method and, most importantly, applies its precepts, whether he or she is investigating nature or not.
3. The scientific method has proven to be the most reliable and successful method of thinking in human history, and it is quite possible to use scientific thinking in other human endeavors.
4. Science is the pursuit of truth, and the systematizing of it.
5. Thus I believe the method of science can be used as a way of thinking to bring us closer to the truth, and to solve many problems.
