Science is more than just a body of knowledge, science provides a means to evaluate and create new knowledge without bias. Scientists use objective evidence over subjective evidence, to reach sound and logical conclusions. An objective observation is without personal bias and the same by all individuals.

An objective statement about this would be: “The picture is of a waterfall.” A subjective statement would be: “The picture is beautiful.” An inference would be “The waterfall is there because of erosion.” This is not to be confused with astronomy which is the scientific study of celestial bodies and the cosmos [2,3].

It explains that hydrogen fuses into helium in stars, releasing energy that opposes gravity. This energy radiates as electromagnetic radiation. Additionally, it mentions how particle accelerators replicate stellar fusion by colliding subatomic particles at high energies, simulating conditions in stars and the early universe.

In general, geology has two major branches of study: 1) Physical Geology, which focuses primarily on what the Earth is composed of and how its processes work beneath and at the surface, and 2) Historical Geology, which examines the evolution of Earth through geologic time.

It emphasizes the importance of revising unsupported ideas, detailing the scientific method, which involves asking questions, conducting research, forming hypotheses, and testing them to develop theories about complex phenomena like evolution and climate change.
